Halfway into a season of professional rugby in Europe, I was forced into retiring at age 29 due to chronic pain. No Sports Doctor or Physiotherapist could identify the cause of my pain.
My discontentment with the lack of holistic answers within the standard medical and rehabilitation approach, fuelled my journey to seek better solutions. This has led me to develop an integrated system of manual therapy and corrective exercise to overcome the causes of movement dysfunction and pain.
Today, almost 25 years later, I’m a qualified Osteopathic Manual Therapist and certified Functional Movement Specialist (FMS), based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
If you’ve tried everything but still struggle with chronic pain, or other somatic dysfunctions that keep you from being your best, why not give my holistic approach a try.
