Parys Edwards Physiotherapy Johannesburg Services

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

Parys provides physiotherapy and rehabilitation for people with a range of musculoskeletal conditions. She focuses strongly on sports injuries and helps athletes and active people recover and return to their best performance. Whether you have a recent injury or ongoing pain, Parys uses manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and postural alignment correction. Therefore, she focuses on the causes of discomfort while supporting recovery.

Run Analysis

Parys specialises in run analysis for runners who want to improve their form and performance. She uses video analysis, movement checks, and strength assessments to find areas that need improvement. The service includes a video report and an individual flexibility and core programme. These personalised plans help improve run technique, support performance, and reduce the risk of injury.

Sports Screening with Parys Edwards Physiotherapy Johannesburg

Parys also provides sports screening for swimmers and other athletes. For swimmers, screening focuses on flexibility, strength, and control, as these areas can contribute to injuries. Parys identifies possible weaknesses and then creates land-based programmes for each swimmer. This approach helps reduce recurring injuries and supports long-term success in the pool.

Athlete and Injury Management

As a former elite athlete, Parys understands the demands that athletes face. She provides athlete screenings, injury prevention strategies, and tailored rehabilitation plans. Whether an athlete has a recurrent injury or prepares for professional competition, Parys uses her competitive experience to support recovery and performance.

Personalised Health and Performance

Parys understands the demands of competing at the highest level in triathlon. Therefore, she combines clinical expertise with practical experience in professional sport. Her personalised service supports professional athletes, weekend warriors, and people recovering from surgery. Her goal is to optimise movement, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.

Proven Track Record

Parys has achieved success as both an athlete and physiotherapist. Her triathlon career includes the Gold Medal at the ETU European Championships in Israel and the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas. In 2014, she successfully moved into professional racing, where she won multiple races and achieved over 20 podium finishes.

Now, as she steps away from competitive racing, Parys wants to share her expertise with clients. Parys Edwards Physiotherapy provides care informed by real-world experience and focuses on helping patients recover, prevent injuries, and reach their full potential.
