Jeanne Marais B.Sc. Physiotherapy (Wits)

When you’re in search of a physiotherapist who prioritises active strategies over passive treatments and self-management over dependency, my approach should align well with your goals. I’m Jeanne Marais, and my practice is built on the belief that understanding your condition and by extension, have the option of actively and independently managing it, lays the foundation for meaningful progress and lasting results.

After graduating from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2008, I gained experience in musculoskeletal rehabilitation across a wide range of conditions, working alongside an orthopaedic surgeon, in outpatient practice, and since 2013, building this practice from the ground up. Since 2020, my clinical framework has been shaped by the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, which is built on a highly reliable assessment and emphasises patient education and empowerment. Rather than relying solely on in-clinic treatments, this method encourages active participation in your own recovery, helping to reduce the number of sessions required while promoting sustained progress.

My training as a physiotherapist naturally includes soft tissue release, dry needling, spinal manipulation, and sports taping, yet I favour strategies that put you in control of your rehabilitation whenever possible. As someone who personally enjoys the likes of rock climbing, running, and endurance horse riding, I understand how disruptive pain can be and how important it is to find sustainable solutions.

If you’re looking for a collaborative approach to recovery and one that values education, active management, and practical problem-solving, let’s work together.

Less passive care. More living life.
