A: At Green Point Physio, every patient is treated as a complete system rather than a single painful area. We identify the underlying reasons behind your symptoms so treatment becomes targeted and effective. Our approach integrates physiotherapy, movement analysis, strength training, breathwork, and space‑awareness techniques to restore confident, pain‑free movement.

A: We begin with a Functional Movement Assessment to identify restrictions, imbalances, and compensations. We analyse how these patterns influence your daily movement or sport, then combine this with clinical testing, breathwork evaluation, and postural assessment to design a plan that supports long‑term recovery.

A: Yes. Our team communicates in English, German, French, and Afrikaans so you can receive clear explanations, guided exercises, and rehabilitation instructions in the language that feels most natural to you.

A: We have a chiropractor, a podiatrist, a fitness expert, and a sports massage therapist on site.

A: We use Functional Movement Assessment, manual therapy, dry needling, trigger‑point therapy, mobility training, muscle activation, electrotherapy, and shockwave therapy. We also integrate breathwork and spatial‑awareness training to improve stability, control, and movement efficiency.

A: Breathwork improves rib mobility, core activation, and nervous‑system regulation. It enhances movement sequencing and reduces unnecessary tension, making it a powerful tool for pain reduction, posture correction, and performance improvement.

A: It evaluates how your body moves through patterns like squatting, bending, rotating, and stepping. It reveals restrictions or weaknesses that may contribute to injury or reduced performance, allowing us to treat the system—not just the symptom.

A: Manual therapy changes tension in the neuromuscular system, improves circulation, reduces protective guarding, and restores natural movement. This makes your body more responsive to strengthening, mobility work, and breath‑driven control.

A: Dry needling targets trigger points – tight, energy‑loaded areas inside a muscle. A precise needle insertion creates a twitch response that reduces tension and pain, making movement easier and rehabilitation more efficient.

A: Yes. Exercise improves mobility, flexibility, blood flow, joint health, breathing mechanics, and strength. We teach you safe, effective exercises you can continue at home to maintain progress.

A: Mobility training lengthens tight structures and strengthens under‑active muscles. It restores balance between inward‑ and outward‑rotating patterns, making your movement more efficient, stable, and injury‑resistant.

A: Muscle activation helps muscles “switch on” properly by addressing emotional, nutritional, structural, and postural stressors. It improves coordination and movement control, enhancing your response to strength training and rehabilitation.

A: Yes. We treat athletes, active individuals, and anyone experiencing pain or movement limitations. Our experience across public health, private practice, and multi-disciplinary teams allows us to manage both simple and complex cases.

A: Shockwave therapy promotes localised healing in tendons, joint capsules, and muscle tissue. When combined with manual therapy and exercise, it accelerates recovery and reduces chronic pain – especially in stubborn tendon issues.

A: Yes. We specialise in identifying the root causes behind recurring injuries. We use movement analysis, breathwork, strength training, and manual therapy to correct underlying patterns for more stable, long‑lasting recovery.

A: We offer guidance on movement habits, training loads, recovery strategies, breathwork, and self‑management. Our advice is based on decades of clinical experience and thousands of treated cases.
