Jeanne Marais B.Sc. Physiotherapy (Wits)

Jeanne completed her degree in Physiotherapy at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2008.

Following community service, she worked alongside an orthopaedic surgeon until 2011 and in a generalist out-patient practice until 2013 when she started Jeanne Marais Physiotherapy.

Jeanne’s most exciting post-graduate advancement is training and credentialling in the McKenzie method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, an internationally recognised approach to the treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions where patients are truly empowered to continue making treatment progress at home rather than being wholly dependent on therapist intervention and repetitive consultations.

Over the years, Jeanne also attended post-graduate courses in the assessment and treatment of a sensitised nervous system, Advanced Dry needling, Spinal manipulations (clicking/adjusting the spine), and Advanced Kinesiology and Sports Taping to name a few. 

Jeanne is happy to assist in addressing painful neuromusculoskeletal conditions like pinched nerves and has a particular interst in treating pain of an unknown origin which hasn’t healed with time as one would hope and expect. She will refer you to other relevant health care providers to assist in addressing your condition should the need arise.
