They attach great importance to a holistic approach to the preservation of the human body. That’s why they are so excited to welcome a new physiotherapist, Tebogo Manasoe, who has extensive knowledge of sports injuries to the team.

No stranger to academia, Manasoe began her career with a degree in Administration. After hard work, a degree in sports management followed, and it didn’t stop there. The drive for this career change arose when she gained experience in basic rehabilitation while working at the gym. The next degree on her agenda was physiotherapy.

She and the practice are delighted to welcome Manasoe to the team. Also new to the team is Retha Oppermann, originally from Stellenbosch. She will work with Peggy Jansen (a local resident and sister of Van der Merwe) to set appointments, greet patients with a friendly smile and handle all administrative matters.
