Not only does she heal the injuries, but I now get injured a lot less.
And her therapy has helped improve my climbing by at least 2 grades.

Oh, I forgot to mention.....

Here in Stellenbosch I'll recommend the expert services of physiotherapist Me. Toni van Houweninge.
She's a Physio and an active climber.
She's in the book.

Mark Nathan (Constantia)

He's not a specific physio for climbing but I have never found anyone as good as him. He fixes all my biking injuries like magic!

Howdy. Can anyone recommend a good physio in Gauteng who has helped with climbing injuries? Something is not lekker with my arms... and it sucks. Thanks a lot, p:)

Mark Seuring is a (good) physio.He is in Rosebank. 082 864 3393

Hi, I have experience in both climbing and in treating a number of climbing injuries. I am a sports physio based in Menlyn, Pretoria. Tracy Taljaard: 012 348 5245 or 082 699 5472

Hey Guys,

Check out Amy Conyers 012 362 5797 at the highperformnce centre: Burnett Street: Hatfield Pretoria. She has treated me for finger (pulleys) and shoulder (torn rotatorcuff) climbing Injuries. She knows her story!

Grant Lewis in Tokai - 021 7120817 - extremely good physio.

Hi - I have a chronic tendon issue and looking for a good physio (hand specialist) in Joburg, any recommendations?

The tendon seems healed now but chronically inflamed etc. It's been 6 months now and I am really quite over this recurring pain. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Go see Greg Scrace. He's a chiropractor, opposite the sandton medi clinic in peter place road. Don't have his no but he should be in the book.

There is now a sports physio at the Waterval Boven hospital!

Best times are Monday afternoons or Fridays with odd gaps during the rest of the week - call me for further details.

Thanks - have you used the chiro on finger/hand issues before? Gus, I think Boven may be a bit too far from home unfortunately (unless he works on saturday nights).

Just posted it FYI.

She can come on weekends if need be...

Hi nozza, Greg is not a climber but has done post grad studies in sports med. Trust me he will know what to do for your tendon, its not really rocket science, you can do a few google searches yourself, if the injury has healed but is still painfull its prob just some scar tissue that has remained and must be broken down (painfull). On the whole i have found chiro to be much more effective than physio. Sorry, i'm sure i've pissed someone off with that last comment, but that what i've found.
