Physiotherapist in Pretoria East

As a physiotherapist in Pretoria East and offering effective physiotherapy in the city, Just Physio provides patients with hands-on treatment, dry needling, supportive and therapeutic strapping and taping, electrotherapy, traction, lung and sinusitis treatment, and personalised exercise programmes. Our outpatient treatment covers all kinds of ailments, from painful muscle spasms that simply won’t yield, to more complex post-operative orthopaedic rehabilitation.

Using our combined experience of over 18 years, our team effectively relieves patients of pain, both chronic and acute, while also assisting patients in Pretoria East in their return to healthy form.

To guarantee that we are able to provide our patients with the best care possible, along with our experience and our advanced education, we continue to keep up to date with all of the latest developments and improvements in the field.

Each patient we work with has a unique problem, with a unique solution. We treat every patient with respect and dignity, carefully evaluating the cause of the problem in order to correctly treat it so that the symptoms don’t come back. We aim to complete the treatment within 3 to 5 sessions, although for more complicated cases it may take a little more time.

Our services are created to be as hassle free as possible, especially in terms of the administration. This allows you to focus fully on your healing while we worry about the paperwork. Unlike other physiotherapists in Pretoria East, we offer a hassle-free booking system where you can book your session online at any time of the day.

Please note that we are a private practice, this means you must please make payment after the session. We go the extra mile for our patient by submitting your paid statement to your relevant medical aid, so that the medical aid can pay you back in no time.

When in pain, why not pop those pain pills instead of going to the professionals? A lot of people treat the symptoms of the problem without being aware of the cause and pain killers simply mask the problem; they won’t necessarily solve it. So, while the pain might be gone for a couple of hours, getting your hopes up that the complaint is now healed, once the effects of the pills wear off, and the pain returns, you can feel more despondent than ever.

It is best to rid yourself of the pain once and for all and the best way to do this is to consult a physiotherapist. A few of the things a physiotherapist can help you with include:

• Rehabilitating sports or gym injuries as well as rehabilitate the effects of disability and disease.
• Assist with managing acute and chronic pain.
• Prevent injury and disease.
• Promote physical activity, wellness and good health.
• Improve and maintain mobility independence and peak physical performance.
• Providing information and education to assist patients in preventing re-occurrence of the pain or re-injury.

The team at Just Physio is skilled at assisting patients of all kinds in their goal to live a healthier, pain-free life. We operate in Pretoria and Pretoria East. Contact us today to book your consultation with a fast and effective physiotherapist in Pretoria East.

Physiotherapists and chiropractors (chiros) both help people with pain, injuries and movement problems, but they use different approaches, training and philosophies.  Physio’s focus on restoring movement, strength and function after injury, surgery or illness by reducing pain and preventing future injury. They use manual therapy techniques, dry needling and exercise to achieve this. Physio’s have a university degree in physiotherapy (usually 4 years), often followed by specialisation.

Chiro’s focus on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system with the philosophy that proper spinal alignment supports overall health. They primarily use spinal adjustments (manipulations) and may also include soft tissue work. A chiropractic degree is often 5 years, focusing heavily on spinal anatomy, manual adjustments and radiology.

A Biokineticist has a degree in exercise physiology and human movement science. They focus on exercise-based rehabilitation and performance enhancement through assessment and treatment of specific functional needs, muscle weaknesses or imbalances and range of motion deficits through exercise.

A patient will usually see a Biokineticist after physiotherapy treatment has started or is completed to complement the treatment and be able to return to play.

Yes, physiotherapy can help with chronic pain or old injuries.
Even if your pain has been there for a long time, physio can make a big difference. Through a careful assessment we look at how your body has adapted and what might still be causing discomfort.

Treatment focuses on improving movement, reducing stiffness, strengthening weak areas and helping you manage pain more effectively. Physiotherapy treatment may have to be combined with other treatments such as medication, specialist doctor treatment and biokinetics.
