Whiplash isn’t just “a sore neck” — it’s a complex soft tissue injury that can affect movement, strength, and even daily function. Early assessment and targeted physiotherapy can make all the difference. 💪

Padel is taking Cape Town by storm — but so are the injuries!

Ankles, knees, calves and Achilles tendons are the most commonly affected areas due to the quick stops, jumps and twists the game demands.

💡 Prevention tips:

Don’t skip your warm-up — add 10 minutes of dynamic movement before your game.

Wear padel or clay-court shoes for better grip and ankle support.

Stretch your legs, forearms, and lower back after play to reduce tightness and speed up recovery.

If you’re feeling pain or stiffness after a game, physiotherapy can help with treatment, recovery and injury prevention.

🩵 Come see us for any padel-related injuries — from minor strains to chronic tendon pain.

It's that time of year again....

Having trouble with sinusitis?

🛑 We can help patients by reducing pain and inflammation, facilitating mucus drainage, and easing congestion through various hands-on techniques and modalities.

Treatments can include facial and neck mobilization to "open" sinuses, gentle massage and drainage to clear mucus, dry needling to decrease swelling, and the use of nebulisers to thin and mobilise phlegm.

Physiotherapists also provide guidance on self-treatment techniques.
