René grew up loving sport; playing provincial tennis in South Africa, she learned first-hand what physiotherapy was all about. From a young age, she knew this would be her chosen career path. Her approach combines hands-on techniques, including manual therapy, dry needling and taping.
René has a keen interest in rehabilitation and believes in the power of therapeutic exercise through practices such as Pilates, aerobics and hydrotherapy. As an accomplished ultra-distance mountain biker who won the 369km Desert Dash across the Namib Desert in 2015, René understands the importance of effective recovery and rehabilitation.
Her experience as an athlete and her clinical expertise make her particularly well-suited to helping patients return to doing what they love, whether walking their furry best friend or running their first marathon.
