Orthopaedic Treatment

Orthopaedic physiotherapy in Johannesburg: treating the injuries that keep athletes off the field, court, and road

Orthopaedic physiotherapy addresses injuries to the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles) with a precision and specificity that general physiotherapy frequently cannot match. At Luke Bramhall Physiotherapy in Houghton Estate, the orthopaedic clinic is built around the five most prevalent and most debilitating overuse and impact injuries affecting Johannesburg's active population: ITB syndrome and runner's knee, Achilles tendinopathy and heel pain, golfer's and tennis elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand injury rehabilitation, and plantar fasciitis and foot arch pathology.

These are not simple injuries. Each has a complex biomechanical origin, a distinct tissue healing timeline, and a high recurrence rate when managed without addressing the underlying cause. They are also, without exception, highly treatable when the assessment is thorough, the diagnosis is accurate, and the rehabilitation programme is genuinely progressive rather than generic.
