BSc Sports & Exercise Science  ·  BSc Biokinetics (Hons)

I specialise in exercise-based rehabilitation and sport conditioning, helping patients recover from injury, surgery, and chronic conditions through structured, progressive movement programmes. My path into biokinetics began with a lifelong love of sport — rugby, cricket, running, powerlifting, and rock climbing among them — and a fascination with how the body moves, adapts, and responds to load. That curiosity drives a practice that is precise, evidence-led, and tailored to each patient's goals and lifestyle. I'm a people person at heart, and I believe the relationship between practitioner and patient matters as much as the programme itself — so I take the time to understand not just your injury, but what recovery truly means to you.

BSc Physiotherapy (Hons), UCT

My physiotherapy journey began with a netball injury in high school — regular physio sessions sparked a fascination that quickly grew into a genuine love for the profession. I graduated top of my class from the University of Cape Town in 2020 and have since built my career across hospitals, sports fields and private practice, developing a deep passion for musculoskeletal health and helping people return to the activities they love. As a runner, swimmer, gym-goer and racket sport enthusiast myself, I understand firsthand what it means to be injured, frustrated and desperate to get back. I take a hands-on, educational approach — because I believe that understanding your body is just as powerful as treating it.

REHABILITATION
WITHOUT
LIMITS

Atlantic Performance brings physiotherapy and biokinetics together under one roof — but the path through is yours to choose. Some patients see just one of us; others benefit from both, working in tandem. Whether you need hands-on physiotherapy for an acute injury, structured biokinetics to rebuild strength and function, or a combination of the two, we'll point you toward the care that actually fits your situation.

Both practitioners are HPCSA-registered and adhere to evidence-based clinical guidelines.

Acute Injury

Sprains, strains, muscle tears, ligament injuries — we assess, diagnose, and build a structured recovery pathway from day one.

Post-Surgical Rehab

ACL, rotator cuff, hip labrum, joint replacement — protocol-driven rehabilitation aligned with your surgeon's timeline.

Sport Conditioning

Return-to-sport programming, injury prevention screening, and performance conditioning for club to competitive athletes.

Chronic & Overuse

Tendinopathies, IT band syndrome, back pain, joint degeneration — load management and progressive exercise to break the pain cycle.

Chronic Disease Management

Medically supervised exercise for diabetes, hypertension, obesity, osteoporosis, and cardiac rehabilitation.

Elderly & Fall Prevention

Balance training, strength conditioning, and functional independence programmes designed for older adults and fall-risk patients.

THE
ATLANTIC
WAY

Atlantic Performance was built on a simple belief: rehabilitation and performance are the same journey. Too many people plateau after treatment — discharged from physio, but never fully back to the sport, the activity, or the life they had before. We're here to close that gap.

Based in Sea Point and rooted in Cape Town's active community, our clinic brings together physiotherapy and biokinetics under one roof. We treat the diagnosis, but we programme for the person — accounting for lifestyle, goals, medical history, and the specific demands of your sport or occupation.

Every consultation is unhurried. Every programme is bespoke. And every decision is grounded in current clinical evidence — not habit, not protocol for protocol's sake.

PHYSIOTHERAPY &
BIOKINETICS

Physiotherapists and biokineticists are both essential, HPCSA-registered movement professionals — they simply work in different ways and often at different points in your care. Knowing what each does helps you find the right support for where you are right now.

Physiotherapy
Assessment, diagnosis & hands-on treatment
Scope:Assesses, diagnoses and treats injury, pain and movement dysfunction using manual therapy, dry needling, taping, and targeted exercise.
Best seen when:You have a new or acute injury, are in pain, are recovering from surgery, or need a diagnosis and hands-on treatment.
Role in recovery:Settles pain and inflammation, protects healing tissue, and restores early movement — laying the foundation for everything that follows.
Biokinetics
Exercise-based rehabilitation & conditioning
Scope:Uses structured, progressive exercise to rebuild strength, mobility and function, and to manage chronic conditions through medically supervised movement.
Best seen when:You're past the acute stage and ready to rebuild, want to return to sport or work, are managing a chronic condition, or want to prevent injury.
Role in recovery:Restores full strength, capacity and confidence so the improvement lasts — turning recovery into long-term resilience and performance.
Which one do you need?

Both professions are equally important — they're partners in your recovery, not alternatives. Many people start with physiotherapy and progress into biokinetics as they heal, but plenty see only one, depending on their needs. If you're not sure where to begin, get in touch and we'll point you toward the right starting point. Having both under one roof simply means that whichever path you take, your care stays joined up.
