Raquel Mão-Cheia Physiotherapy – Improving Your Quality of Life

About Me

Welcome to Raquel Mão-Cheia Physiotherapy. My name is Raquel Mão-Cheia, and I am a highly qualified physiotherapist with a passion for improving my patients’ quality of life. I completed my BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy at the University of Witwatersrand in 2013. After graduating, I began my career in physiotherapy with community service at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. This was followed by valuable experience at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and Netcare Milpark Hospital, where I spent two years each, gaining extensive experience in a variety of specialties.

During my time at these institutions, I have honed my expertise in adult and paediatric chest therapy, neurological treatments, rehabilitation, sports injuries, and managing generalised pain. My goal is to provide effective physiotherapy care that helps patients improve movement, alleviate pain, and regain their independence.

Our Services

Chest Physiotherapy (Adults and Paediatrics)

Chest physiotherapy is essential for both adults and children with respiratory conditions. Whether you are struggling with chronic chest conditions, post-surgery recovery, or paediatric respiratory issues, my clinic offers specialised treatment aimed at improving lung function and aiding recovery.

Chest physiotherapy can help with:

• Respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Post-operative chest care after thoracic surgeries
• Paediatric chest conditions, including bronchiolitis and asthma
• Postural drainage and airway clearance techniques to improve breathing

I tailor chest physiotherapy techniques to suit both adult and paediatric patients, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment experience.

Back, Neck, and Limb Pain (Adults and Paediatrics)

Pain in the back, neck, or limbs can significantly impact daily life. Whether it’s due to muscle strain, injury, or chronic conditions, physiotherapy is an effective way to manage and alleviate pain.

Treatment for back, neck, and limb pain includes:

• Manual therapy and joint mobilisation to reduce pain and stiffness
• Therapeutic exercises to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility
• Posture correction techniques to prevent further strain and injury
• Paediatric physiotherapy for children with musculoskeletal pain, injury, or developmental concerns

With my personalised approach, I aim to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life, whether you are an adult or a child.
