Julia is a qualified sport physiotherapist with a MSc degree from the University of Cape Town.

 

After finishing her undergrad in Austria, Julia spent some time working in an Austrian private hospital with a focus on orthopaedic and neurological rehabilitation. When she returned to South Africa in 2014, she qualified as a neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapist, before completing her Masters in Exercise and Sport Physiotherapy in 2021. She is actively involved in postgrad education at UCT for the Department of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.

 

Julia thoroughly enjoys working with all kinds of orthopaedic patients and has a passion for outdoor and adventure sport. Her special interest is in climbing related physiotherapy, especially assessing and treating finger injuries, but also optimising climbing performance.

 

A physiotherapy session with Julia has a strong focus on identifying the underlying issue and tailoring a management plan to the individual patient or athlete, with their personal goals at the centre of continuing care.
