Adult Neurology
Neurological and auto-immune conditions can deeply affect daily life. Physiotherapy helps you keep your independence, ease symptoms, and gives you and your family steady support along the way – even before a formal diagnosis.

About Mieke
Hi, I'm Mieke — here for the whole journey.
Physiotherapist · Dog lover · Food enthusiast
I qualified in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy at Stellenbosch University. I've worked with all kinds of clients across rehabilitation centres, hospitals and the community – but my heart is in adult neurology and geriatrics, walking alongside the elderly and those facing complex neurological conditions. And I come to you: all my sessions are home visits, which makes a real difference for clients who struggle with transport or mobility.

How I can help
Gentle, focused care across four areas
Every body is unique – and so is every treatment plan. These are the areas where I can help you most.
Geriatrics
With age come changes to posture, balance, endurance and mobility. Gentle, consistent exercise is one of the best ways to keep doing what you love – whether easing joint stiffness or recovering after illness or surgery.
Sleep Health
As a representative of the South African Society for Sleep and Health, I help manage the things that disrupt rest – like chronic pain and inflammation. Good sleep is essential for healing, mood and recovery.
Musculoskeletal
Among the most common and disabling complaints, these affect bones, joints, muscles and connective tissue. I assess and treat each one with techniques chosen specifically for your needs and preferences.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
A few things people often want to know before getting in touch. If your question isn't here, just ask me.
Do you offer home visits?
Yes – in fact, home visits are how I work. All sessions take place in the comfort of your own home, anywhere across the greater Stellenbosch area. It's one of my favourite parts of what I do – meeting you where you're most comfortable.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Stellenbosch. I don't currently consult from a practice space – instead, I come to you, with all sessions taking place as home visits across the greater Stellenbosch area.
What happens in a first session?
We start with an assessment to establish your relevant medical history, what your current complaint is, and what the underlying problem may be. We'll then talk through your goals and agree on a management plan going forward. Every person is unique, so your treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs.
What conditions do you treat?
Adult neurology: stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neuron Disease, dementia (including Alzheimer's, vascular and Lewy Body), Bell's Palsy, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy and Myasthenia Gravis.
Musculoskeletal: frozen shoulder, repetitive strain injuries, sprains, muscle or ligament tears, neck and back pain, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, Achilles tendonitis, sciatica and referred headaches.
I also work extensively in geriatrics and sleep health. These are examples rather than a complete list – if your condition isn't mentioned here, or you don't yet have a diagnosis, you can still benefit from managing your symptoms with therapy. You're always welcome to ask.
Are you registered, and what are your qualifications?
Yes. I'm registered with the HPCSA (PT 0125601) and my practice number is 720000381721. I qualified in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy from Stellenbosch University, and have worked in private practice, rehabilitation centres, government clinics and hospitals.
Can I submit to my medical aid?
Yes – depending on your medical aid scheme and the plan you're on, physiotherapy sessions may be covered. Please note that I don't submit claims to medical aids directly. After your session you'll receive an invoice, which is payable to me directly. You can then submit that invoice to your medical aid, and if your plan covers physiotherapy, they will reimburse you for the session.
How do I book an appointment?
WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach me, but you're welcome to call or email too. If I'm busy with a session I can't always respond immediately – leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
