Mr Hugh Everson obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Physics at the University of the Western Cape in 1998, before opening his independent practice in 1999. Since starting his own practice, he has created a name for himself in the sports industry, by being the preferred physiotherapist for the Springbok Sevens Rugby.
Whether you have suffered a nasty injury on the sports field, or have a slight physical discomfort that is getting worse, nothing gets you back on track as quickly as a physiotherapist can, ensuring that you get through the event you had been training so hard for!
Most people have experienced back pain sometime in their lives. For many, back pain is a sign that the body is aging. This is not always the case. If you are experiencing aches and pains in your back (whether lower back pain, middle back pain, upper back pain or low back pain with sciatica) it is advisable to contact a physiotherapist, as even the smallest amount of back ache could lead to agonising pain.
Often when you have sprained your ankle you neglect it as you think it will get better soon. In many cases, a neglected ankle sprain can become chronic, leading to a myriad of problems.
Through a thorough assessment will your physiotherapist be able to determine the damage done to your injured joint and muscle, as well as determine which other muscles and joint are contributing to your pain. Once the assessment is done, your muscles and joints can be treated using soft tissue techniques, dry needling and rehabilitation exercises.
