Services

Jenny de Klerk Physiotherapy & Pilates provides a range of services tailored to meet the needs of every individual, from rehabilitation to preventative care.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques aimed at increasing joint range of movement and soft tissue flexibility. This treatment includes massage, joint mobilisations, and manipulations to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Manual therapy is ideal for those with musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain and joint stiffness.

Acupuncture

Jenny is qualified in modern acupuncture, which targets specific nerve endings to reduce pain and muscle spasm. She also practices traditional Chinese acupuncture, a holistic approach that considers the balance of your body’s energy to restore overall well-being. Acupuncture is a beneficial therapy for managing chronic pain and enhancing recovery from injuries.
