about us
Carla Oberholzer comes from a sporting background, participating in various sports at provincial and national level. I have a special interest in sports and orthopaedic treatments. Being an active road and mountain bike cyclist I am in direct feel with the needs, wants and squirms of athletes and am capable of providing you with the latest research based treatment and rehabilitation protocols.
I matriculated in Bloemfontein at Eunice Girls High School after which I studied B.Sc. Physiotherapy at the University Of The Free State. Post graduate I worked at Steve Biko Academic Hospital and Louis Olivier Physiotherapy where I was responsible for the Pretoria Boys High First Rugby Team. I then went on to work in a large hospital practice alongside top orthopaedic, spinal and neurosurgeons where I gained invaluable experience. In 2015 I started Carla Oberholzer Physiotherapy and so realised my dream of having my own practice. I look forward to serving my community and enabling my patients to regain their independence and experience improved functionality.
Carla is a registered Physiotherapist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and the South African Society of Physiotherapy (SASP).
why us?
We believe in patient centred physiotherapy in which our main aim is to decrease you, the patient’s ,time off due to injury and to rehabilitate you to a higher level than pre-injury and so prevent injury recurrence.
Our treatment approach is hands on and the main focus is manual therapy and rehabilitation. Electrotherapy and machines are only used in acute cases where there is excessive swelling or inflammation. Each patient is seen individually and treatments are tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
Physiotherapists are first line practitioners and you therefore do not need to be referred to us by a doctor. We are fully qualified to assess and diagnose your condition and should we feel the need we can refer you to a specialist for further investigation or additional treatment.
Carla Oberholzer Physiotherapy is a cash only practice where average medical aid rates are charged. Patient is invoiced on completion of treatment for self claim from medical aid.
