Meet the Team

Helene Simpson – Founder & Physiotherapist

Helene’s passion for physiotherapy began with her own experience as an athlete. After graduating top of her class from the University of the Free State in 1984, she worked at the Conradie Spinal Unit, gaining valuable experience in sports and disability rehabilitation.

In 1990, she pursued a BSc Med Hons (Sports Science) at the University of Cape Town while volunteering at the Sport Injury Centre (SIC). By 1991, she was managing the centre, transforming it into a well-recognised sports practice with a multi-disciplinary approach.

In 1997, Helene privatised the practice, establishing a strong reputation for comprehensive treatments and collaboration with top medical professionals, including sports physicians, surgeons, and biokineticists.

San-Mari Kruger – Physiotherapist

San-Mari graduated from Stellenbosch University in 2013 and developed a passion for orthopaedic rehabilitation while working in private practice in Rustenburg. Since moving back to Cape Town in 2018, she has continued to focus on musculoskeletal and sports injuries, with a particular interest in knee, ankle, and foot conditions.

Her treatment approach includes hands-on techniques, taping, and exercise rehabilitation. A trained Pilates instructor, she emphasises patient education and empowerment to help individuals reach their recovery goals.

Sandra Laubscher – Physiotherapist

Sandra completed her physiotherapy degree at Stellenbosch University in 2014 and gained extensive experience in musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions while working in Johannesburg. She has treated patients in hospital, outpatient, and gym-based settings, following their progress from injury to full recovery.

After running her own practice in Porterville, she has now joined Helene’s team, bringing her expertise in spinal pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
