NO NEED FOR A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL
Physiotherapists are first line practitioners which means we are able to diagnose and treat conditions within our scope of practice.
SERVICES
Our practice has provided a service to the community of Witbank since 1992. Physiotherapy can help for almost any condition that affects muscles, joints and nerves.
COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
Janet will perform a thorough assessment of your condition including a history taking and a physical examination with objective testing. This is necessary to determine the cause of your pain or dysfunction and treat you accordingly.
MANUAL THERAPY
These are hands on techniques that are aimed at improving soft tissue mobility, improving joint range of motion, enhancing muscle function and decrease pain.
These techniques also facilitate relaxation and are an important part of your therapy.
LUNG / RESPIRATORY THERAPY
& POST COVID 19 REHABILITATION
Conditions such as COPD, asthma, and bronchitis are treated with the appropriate nebulization and chest physio.
The patient is taught chest exercise techniques such as spirometry to enhance lung function.
Post COVID patients suffer with an array of issues such as fatigue, limited endurance, decrease in muscle mass and exercise tolerance, we have programs to improve lung function, mobility and general function and wellbeing.
TAPING
Kinesio and dynamic taping is often used to assist in the stability of an area, reduce swelling and relieve pain. This is very helpful after a sports injury or any muscular injury.

ADULT NEUROLOGICAL
CONDITIONS
Conditions such as Head injuries and strokes (CVA) benefit greatly from physiotherapy rehabilitation. The goal is to improve these patients’ movement and function.
