Comprehensive Physiotherapy Services

At Renske Oosthuizen Physiotherapy Knysna, we offer a wide range of specialized treatments tailored to different conditions. Consequently, our patients receive the most effective care possible while experiencing a holistic approach to their well-being.

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Renske Oosthuizen Physiotherapy Knysna

We treat various conditions affecting joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. For instance, our treatments address:

• Arthritis, which causes joint pain and stiffness, making daily tasks challenging. Therefore, our therapies focus on pain relief and improved movement.
• Sports injuries that limit movement and hinder athletic performance. As a result, athletes can recover faster and return to peak condition.
• Osteoporosis, which weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Consequently, we help improve bone strength through targeted therapies.
• Back, neck, and shoulder pain that disrupts daily activities, making even simple tasks difficult. Because of this, we focus on long-term pain management and prevention.
• Repetitive strain injuries that impact work and hobbies, leading to long-term discomfort. Therefore, we aim to restore function and prevent recurrence.
• Post-operative rehabilitation for faster recovery, including hip and knee replacements. Ultimately, we help patients regain strength and mobility more efficiently.

Neurological Physiotherapy

Our team helps patients manage conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Therefore, we improve their quality of life by offering treatments for:

• Stroke rehabilitation, one of Renske’s greatest passions, helping patients regain mobility and independence. Because strokes can be life-altering, early intervention is crucial.
• Headaches and migraines that interfere with daily life, making work and social activities difficult. Therefore, we offer techniques that reduce both frequency and intensity.
• Multiple sclerosis, which affects mobility and daily function, requiring ongoing care and support. Consequently, we provide treatments that enhance coordination and strength.
• Parkinson’s disease, causing movement difficulties and muscle stiffness that impact day-to-day life. Because of this, we implement therapies that slow progression and improve balance.
• Spinal cord injuries that require long-term care, demanding a personalized approach for recovery. Therefore, we create individualized rehabilitation plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

Paediatric Physiotherapy

We specialize in pediatric physiotherapy, focusing on early intervention and treatment. As a result, we help children achieve optimal development. Our services include:

• Chest conditions like pneumonia and bronchitis, which can be debilitating for young children. Therefore, we use specialized techniques to improve breathing and lung function.
• Delayed motor development, requiring early intervention to support proper growth and coordination. Because early therapy enhances long-term mobility, timely intervention is essential.
• Specialized equipment such as nebulizers, suction machines, and chest vibromats to assist recovery, ensuring optimal care. Consequently, we provide a comfortable and effective treatment process.

Home Visits for Convenient Care at Renske Oosthuizen Physiotherapy Knysna

For those unable to travel to our practice, we bring therapy directly to their homes. As a result, patients receive the care they need without added stress. This service is particularly beneficial for:

• Retirement village residents who need physiotherapy but find it difficult to travel. Because mobility can be a challenge, we bring treatments to them.
• Individuals recovering from severe injuries or illnesses that limit their mobility. Consequently, they receive proper rehabilitation in the comfort of their home.

Palliative Care

We provide comfort and mobility support for terminally ill patients. Therefore, our approach focuses on improving quality of life. Our services include:

• Breathing techniques, suctioning, and nebulizing for easier respiration, helping patients breathe more comfortably. As a result, they experience less discomfort.
• Gentle massage and stretching to reduce discomfort, providing relief from pain and stiffness. Because of this, patients remain as comfortable as possible.
• Mobility maintenance to improve daily movement, ensuring a better quality of life for as long as possible. Consequently, patients retain independence for longer.

Assistive Devices and Additional Services

We supply and fit a variety of assistive devices. This ensures that patients receive the support they need while improving mobility and stability. Our offerings include:

• Crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs to improve mobility and independence. As a result, patients can move around more safely and efficiently.
• Arm slings, moon boots, back, wrist, and neck braces for injury recovery, aiding in stabilization. Consequently, healing occurs with the necessary support.
• Knee immobilizers for post-surgery support, helping patients recover with added protection. Because of this, they can heal properly with minimal risk.

Referral to Radiology

For accurate diagnoses, we refer patients directly for X-rays and ultrasounds. As a result, we ensure the most effective treatment plans based on precise medical imaging.

Massage Therapy and Strapping

We provide additional therapeutic services that complement our physiotherapy treatments. Our offerings include:

• Therapeutic massage to promote relaxation and muscle recovery, relieving tension and stress. Consequently, patients feel more at ease and experience faster healing.
• Strapping for sports injuries and arthritic joints, ensuring better support and faster healing. Because stability is key, we focus on proper joint protection.
