PERSONALITY

Marian is a South African trained physiotherapist who graduated from the University of Cape Town in 2003. Marian’s main focus is to enable people to get back to what they love doing. She has extensive experience in treating musculoskeletal, pain and sports conditions. Marian believes in person-centered care and overall health promotion. 

Marian’s treatments consist of a thorough assessment, finding out the “why” of the problem and discovering what is important to you. During the treatment she integrates hands-on care, exercise and education combined with your expert input, as you are the ‘expert’ of your body.

Marian is an avid life-long learner and regularly participates in continuing education courses. She has post graduate training in bone and joint manual physical therapy, she is a trained pilates instructor and she has completed additional courses in patient focused pain management. 

Marian is excited about treating all injuries but has a special interest in running, trail running and rock climbing injuries. Other conditions of interest are headaches, ankle and foot, and shoulder injuries. If you have the hopes of becoming more active and staying active for life, Marian can assist. 

She currently enjoys trail running, hiking, all forms of rock climbing, yoga, pilates, mindfulness, surfing, cold water dips and learning to ski (so Canadian, eh?!). Other sporting experiences include mountain biking, bike touring, mountaineering and field hockey.
