After completing a four year BSc. Honours or B Physiotherapy degree and one year compulsory Community Service, the therapist qualifies to register as Physiotherapist with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

In line with the continuing professional development requirements of the HPCSA, the Physios attend courses annually, ensuring that the most up-to-date knowledge is attained to benefit our treatments and ultimately the patient.
