If movement matters to you, Edwin's approach is built around getting you back to it properly.
Edwin has a strong interest in sports injuries and high-performance rehabilitation, with experience working with professional rugby players at The Sharks Rugby Club as well as within the U/16 Springbok Elite Development Camps.
That background has developed a detailed understanding of what successful rehabilitation actually requires — not only settling symptoms, but rebuilding strength, confidence, movement and the physical qualities needed to return to sport.
His interest in sports medicine extends particularly strongly into concussion management. Edwin is currently completing a Master's degree focused on concussion in rugby players, further developing his expertise in the assessment, management and safe return to activity following concussion.
While sport is a major part of his clinical interest, Edwin also treats a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions, including acute and persistent pain, back and neck pain, post-operative rehabilitation, general injuries and movement-related problems.
He is also BASI Pilates qualified, allowing him to incorporate movement control, strength and rehabilitation principles into treatment where appropriate.
