  Physiotherapist recommendations Hello! I am coming to study in Cape Town for the semester and I need to see a physiotherapist regularly while I am there. Has anyone had any good experiences or recommends any? If it is relevant, it is for an issue with my elbow.

  Hi! I have the actual best physio ever. She is amazing, she will figure out whats wrong and give you exercises to fix it. She doesn't just sort of massage the area and send you on your way, she figures out what is contributing to the injury and strengthens all of that so you're sorted long term. So her name is Jayne Broderick, she's at Tamsin Hodgson physiotherapy in Gardens (in town). Website is: http://www.physiocapetown.co.za/

  Elizabeth K. asked:

  URGENT ADVICE PLEASE: Best person in CT area to consult with knee issues from high mileage running. By best I mean I need a miracle cure in 48 hours. Thanks

  

  Tammy H. replied:

  Hi there. There are some excellent knee doctors out there however I would always advise that you try the more conservative approach first. If you are doing high mileage running, I am thinking Ultra's and Comrades so correct me if I am wrong, then there is very often a biomechanical issue at play. So while an injection might releive the pain temporarily, it is worth seeing a Physio to check your alignment and your exercises that you are doing outside of running. If you are not doing any cross tranining exercises and/or do not do Pilates or Yoga at small studio that could already be something that you could do to help resolve and prevent injuries. We treat lots of runners, trail and road, high and low mileage. If you would like more advice please feel free to contact me on www.physiocapetown.co.za

  MJ B. asked:

  Can anyone advise where the best place is to get advuce and buy running shoes depending om your foot shape? thanks

  

  Tammy H. replied:

  Sweat shop in Claremont is great. Otherwise Sports Science Institute used to offer a service, for a fee, where you could go and be assesed and then they give you 3 different options of shoes to buy depending on what they find on your assesment. Other wise the Sports Injuries Clinic at UCT has a biokineticist that has a special interest in shoes and foot biomechanics, so you could call them and book and appointment with Kerryn. Those are the options that I usually give to my clients. I also generally advise, depending on the budget to get a neutral shoe and if you need help with pronation etc then see a podiatrist to get an orthotic made especially for you. I generally only advise orthotics after a few weeks of treatment of trying to correct the biomechanics of the limb, as this can often be responsible for poor foot stability/posture. If you want more info please contact my physio practice on www.physiocapetown.co.za

  Monique P. asked:

  worst thing ever has happened. my left leg is out of order, cannot walk on it at all! limping like a old school rapper!!! i have no clue what ive done wrong at all... it started off being an uncomfortable pain shooting from my hip to my knee (outer leg) when i was walking, but not so sore when jogging. then i went on holiday and everyday has gotten progressively worse to the point where i cannot lift my leg independently or stand or walk properly. does anyone know of an affordable physio therapist in the rondebosch, cape town area please? thanks in advance x

  

  Tammy H. replied:

  Hi Monique. I am so sorry to hear that you are having pain, especially while you are on holiday. I am a Physiotherapist myself, and have actually treated Elan from SG a few times. Please don't panic about the pain. If it started with walking/running and is going down the side of your leg there is a very high chance that it is either your ITB or a referred pain from your gluts/bum muscles. Most people incorrectly diagnose pain going down the leg as a nerve pain when it is very commonly referred from your bum muscles. My advice to you would be to seek out a Physiotherapist who specialises in good diagnosis- to ensure we treat the root and the symptoms as opposed to just the symptoms, as well as rehabilitation. No matter what the cause is it will usually involve some form of rehab to resolve the issue. You are welcome to book with us www.physiocapetown.co.za or to send me an e-mail with further queries etc. Otherwise I do work closely with the physios from Newlands Physio, so they would also be a good choice. Good luck.

  Carmen R. asked:

  Hi Sleeks. Any Capetonians know of a good sports physio/massage centre in the Seepoint / Green - Point area and surrounds? Need to sort out lower back. T.I.A

  

  Tammy H. replied:

  Hi Carmen Roberts. I am sorry to hear that you having issues with your lower back. Not sure what sports you are into but we are passionate about exerices and getting people back to their sport of choice. I have recently treated a whole lot of people competing in the Cross fit games, happening this weekend- many of whom suffer with lower back pain due to the high loads they lift and also poor lifting form. Unfortunately our practiced is closed today but we open at 7.45 am on Monday and would be able to assist you then. My website is www.physiocapetown.co.za. You welcome to take a look at the services we offer. You can also send an e-mail to make a booking- which will we attend to first thing on Monday morning. Hope this helps.
