Physiotherapy with Brigitte Weltz

Patient-Centred Approach

After expanding my knowledge with a number of other therapies I learned to respect and support the body’s natural tendency to self correction and re-balancing.

Orthopaedy & Neurology

As a general practice in Physiotherapy I work with general orthopaedic and neurological conditions e.g. all joint problems, neck and back aches,and temporo mandibular joint dysfunctions, and Parkinson's.

Physiotherapy Approach

Due to my understanding of multiple causes and effects I acknowledge the body as a channel of expression. This led me to work more with children and more complex conditions within the body-mind field.

Physiotherapy Cape Town

Starting with a thorough assessment to treat the cause of your symptoms

  • The first session is a thorough physical assessment, we begin by getting a comprehensive history to determine the cause of your symptoms. 
  • After the initial assessment we prepare a strategy for an effective healing and treatment plan which is continuously monitored.
  • Treatment consists of hands on evidence-based therapy techniques and modalities, combined with rehabilitation exercises for the patient.
  • To resolve physical difficulties and pain in all Neuro-Musculoskeletal disorders and injuries.
  • Our intention is to optimise function, reduce pain, preventing long term issues and prepare an ongoing self-help maintenance plan

Cranio Sacral Therapy

Gentle hands-on modality and totally non-invasive

  • Cranio Sacral Therapy works with the Cranio Sacral System, in other words with the core of your being and the fluidity of your body.
  • Facilitating the inherent drive, the natural tendency of your body to heal and release patterns held in your body, to find a better place of balance,.
  • Suitable for any physical, emotional or mental condition.

e.g Post-Traumatic aliments, Anxiety, Depression.

  • Especially advantageous for the treatment of children, babies and even prenatal.
  • The combination of Physical Therapy and Cranio Sacral Therapy works exceptionally well.

Chronic Pain Management

Working with the studies and findings of the Pain Neuroscience Education

  • We assist you to understand the function of pain, how it is created and how to manage it.
  • Pain is a protector and regulated by the brain, unfortunately with chronic pain the brain sometimes decides to continue protection even if the tissue has healed.
  • Diagnoses and cause of longstanding pain can vary greatly.

 e.g. Fibromyalgia, Chronic Musculoskeletal problems, Endometriosis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

  • Studies have shown that learning to understand your pain and finding a new relationship with it, brings often big changes.  

Other Available Modalities

I use a number of Recognised Modalities in the Practice

  • Visceral Manipulation –
    is a hands-on treatment technique to mobilise your internal organs because there is often a close interaction with the musculoskeletal system.
  • Somato Emotional Release –
    is a technique that helps the patient to understand and release the connections between body and mind and the affect of that. 
  • Psycho Neuro  Immunology –
    is using the relationship between immunity, the endocrine system, and the central nervous system that are closely intertwined.
    e.g. how stress and your way of thinking have an influence on your whole wellbeing.
