Adéle Pudney completed a B.Sc. Physiotherapy degree in 2003 at UCT, after a long career in gymnastics and performing arts, during which time she sustained various injuries which helped her to understand the woes of the injured body. This led to her keen interest in posture correction, balance training and rehabilitation. Adéle found a passion for facilitating people to find ways out of their painful postures and patterns. After 13 years of learning through clinical experience she is building up and training a team of registered physiotherapists to work with a similar outlook and understanding. A typical treatment session consists of history taking, posture/movement assessment, and goal setting, followed by appropriate treatment. Clients receive specifically designed Exercise Programs and advice on ergonomics helping to reduce recurrence of injuries/problems. Adéle and her team works within a multi-disciplinary team consisting of all the practitioners required to find a working solution for each presenting problem within the client’s individual context. Adéle is a Registered Physiotherapist, Reflexologist, Watsu practitioner/Instructor and Heartmath coach. These techniques can be implemented to help with stress management, which has a big influence on pain and function. Always searching for effective ways in which to help people achieve their goals in health, Adéle is teaming up with other professionals designing Chronic pain workshops in order to disseminate the complicated and often confusing information in a simple and easy way to clients, family members and practitioners.
