Mandy Knaap Physiotherapy was established on 1 May 1993 at Bayside Centre. In 1995 we moved to Blaauwberg Therapy Centre which is a multidisciplinary centre established by myself and Janet Bytheway, a clinical psychologist.

Myself and my colleague, Rachel treat mostly neuro-musculo-skeletal conditions, including headaches, neck and back conditions (acute and chronic), sports injuries (acute and repetitive strains, overuse injuries, sprains and tears) including dancing injuries and running injuries. We treat peripheral joint conditions including post operative rehabilitation for fractures and joint replacements. We also assist in managing other conditions such as sinusitis, BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), mild chest conditions (e.g. bronchitis) and management of bedsores and other open wounds.

We give advice on ergonomics (correct posture and computer work station set-up) and preventative back and neck care. We do dry needling and various taping techniques including McConnell and kinesio taping. We also do one-on-one rehabilitation including one-on-one pilates based rehabilitation after back injuries, surgery or sports injuries. We treat both acute and chronic problems and do maintenance treatment. Although we have equipment in the practice, we concentrate on hands-on treatment.

We offer home visits when required. Our treatments are 45 minutes long. This provides enough time for us to properly assess and treat your condition and to give you relevant advice and demonstrate exercises. You may be given the exercises to do at home so that your treatment can continue between sessions. This may well limit the number of sessions of treatment needed for you to recover. Our treatment rooms are private and air-conditioned.

We charge the recommended medical aid tarrifs and submit directly to your medical scheme for your convenience. We accept most Debit and Credit cards. We are open 8.00am – 6.00pm weekdays and 8.30am – 12.00pm on Saturdays.

You are welcome to contact us if you have any questions.

Myself and my colleagues look forward to assisting you.
