Where relief meets awareness.
For bodies carrying the quiet costs of modern life.
A stress-first approach to physiotherapy that begins with calming the nervous system.
.
Many of us live for long periods with tension, pain, or a sense of disconnection in our bodies. Physiotherapy supports symptom relief while also creating the conditions for the body to feel safer and more understood from the inside out.
In this practice, the body is supported to gradually move out of stress, rediscover internal ease, and explore ways of moving and living that feel more natural and sustainable over time. This work is grounded in physiotherapy, with attention to movement, awareness, and the nervous system’s role in healing.
Rather than stepping away from life to recover, what would it mean to support the body

You do not need a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist. In South Africa, physiotherapists are first-line practitioners, and can assess your condition. You will be referred for further medical evaluation only if needed. The only time you need to see a doctor first is if your medical aid requires it to approve funding.
You medical aid can reimburse the consultation fee based on your medical aid plan and balance in your medical savings account. Check with them if they need referral from a GP to approve funding. We prefer that you pay cash/card to us after your session, and send it yourself for reimbursement. We sometimes will submit directly if we can confirm your benefits first. Certain conditions like bone fractures and neurological conditions can also be covered through extra benefits on many plans - using Prescribed Minimum Benefits ( read more here).
X-rays are not needed for most conditions. You will be assessed carefully and sent for further investigation only if necessary.
There isn’t a fixed number that applies to everyone. Many people find that working through an initial phase of around 3–4 sessions allows enough time to understand what’s going on, support meaningful change, and see how the body responds.
After that, some people choose to return as needed — for flare-ups, stressful periods, or changes in routine — rather than attending continuously. This is usually discussed after the first consultation, once there is more clarity about your needs.
