APEX PROFESSIONALS
Edwin de Villiers
As a passionate Sports Physiotherapist, I specialize in helping people—from everyday movers to top athletes across all professions—get back to doing what they love, pain-free and performing at their best. I’ve had the privilege of working with elite athletes, guiding them through injury recovery, performance optimization, and injury prevention. Living a healthy, active lifestyle myself, I bring that same energy and dedication to every session. I’m also a qualified BASI Pilates instructor and work closely with a few personal training clients to help them reach their fitness goals. Whether it’s on the field, in the studio, or in the clinic, my mission is to empower each person I work with to move better, feel stronger, and live life to the fullest. Expect a hands-on, high-energy approach—with a good dose of encouragement and maybe even a laugh or two along the way!
Matthew Stoffels
Matthew Stoffels, a proud graduate of Stellenbosch University (Stellies) and originally from the picturesque town of George, brings his passion for sports injuries and orthopaedic conditions to Apex Active Physiotherapy. As a former rugby player himself, Matt knows firsthand what it takes to get back on the field—and stay there.
Outside of the clinic, you’ll likely find Matt hitting the weights—his passion for fitness and bodybuilding shines through in his commitment to leading by example. Whether you’re an elite athlete or someone simply looking to reclaim your active lifestyle, Matt’s here to help you find your form, your strength, and your joy in movement.
