Mignon van der Merwe Fisioterapie/Physiotherapy is a person centered Practice that focusses on treating patients with respect, dignity, integrity and sincere understanding.
We use our clinical expertise to treat our patients to the best of our abilities in order to maintain/regain optimal functioning and reintegration in to the community.
Our aim is to empower our patients with knowledge and techniques to take control of their health journey in order to live well.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR PHYSIOTHERAPY SESSION
Patients can expect to feel comfortable and to be treated with utmost respect in a safe environment. Patients do not need a referral from a Doctor since Physiotherapists are first line practitioners.
First consultations will be 1hour whereafter follow-up sessions will vary from 45min – 1 hour. Upon the first visit, a thorough objective evaluation will be done to gather the appropriate history, pain behaviour, levels of activity, previous interventions etc.
A physical examination will then follow in the form of analysing movement, completing questionnares and doing specific hands on testing. The results of the above-mentioned will determine which treatment modalities or referrals will be appropriate. This could be hands on treatment, electrotherapy, re-education of movement, pain neuroscience education, etc.
Bookings can be made via WhatsApp, email or patients can phone the practice number. Payment options includes cash/EFT payments by the 15th of the month following the month of treatment.
The practice is also registered with all medical aids and claims can be submitted on behalf of patients.
