The Pain Collective’s interdisciplinary team has provided a pain service to the northern suburbs of Cape Town, West Coast, Boland, and Overberg since 2005. In August 2021, the team relocated to its first purpose-built facility in Panorama – a natural choice given its decades-long history as a central healthcare hub.

Housed on the second floor of the Panorama Healthcare Centre, the clinic utilises the ultramodern Advanced Panorama Surgical Centre’s day hospital facilities situated on the same floor. The building is located directly opposite Mediclinic Panorama Hospital – offering access to modern laboratory services, radiology services, and the full spectrum of multidisciplinary healthcare practitioner services within walking distance.

Dr Hans Relling, a neurosurgeon, and Dr Lizane Riekert, a general practitioner, both with an interest in pain, are the resident doctors on-site. The 300-sqm facility features a large gym and rehabilitation area – supported by therapy offices that house the interdisciplinary team. Beyond standard therapy, the clinic provides movement classes, group sessions, and educational events for both patients and healthcare professionals.
