My daughter has been receiving physiotherapy for TMJ dysfunction and we couldn’t be happier with the care she’s received. Every physio we’ve interacted with at the practice — Micaela, Layla, and Marge — has been outstanding. They are true experts in their field: knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely committed to making a difference. Each session brings noticeable improvement and my daughter is already feeling significantly better. The team is excellent, accommodating, caring and always professional. We are so grateful for the results and highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking effective and compassionate physiotherapy.
orna hirschowitz

As a physio myself who was experiencing TMJ problems, I went to see Micaela. She not only had an excellent knowledge of the subject, but was enthusiastic, dedicated and truly cared about making a difference. She paid attention to detail whilst looking at the big picture and also addressing other issues. I was treated by Marge for a couple of sessions too and she was also very knowledgeable and professional. The practice is welcoming and friendly when you walk in thanks to Mabel who is also very efficient from an administrative point of view. Thank you to all of you!
Cheryl Daniels

I’m so grateful for the incredible help I received for my jaw problems. The physio was knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Their techniques made a huge difference, and I noticed improvement quickly. The whole experience was professional yet welcoming—I couldn’t be happier with the results! Highly recommend to anyone dealing with similar issues. 10/10!
Francois Van Niekerk

I had the most wonderful experience at Micaela Weinberg Physiotherapy. Everyone is so professional and proficient and the treatment is excellent. I’ve never had this kind of experience before. And not to mention, the rooms are so gorgeous – making you feel comfortable and right at home.
A special shout-out to Leala who couldn’t have been more patient, understanding and fantastic.
Meira Friedland

Cannot recommend the TMJ Centre enough. I was initially seen by Micaela and then handed over to her colleague, Talya, to continue treatment. The improvement I have seen so far has been exceptional. The treatment at the TMJ centre is unbelievable, and Mabel is always warm and welcoming

Lamberti Woodmead had great customer service and was very welcoming. They assisted me with every question I had. The physiotherapist that I saw, Yashoda was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. It was a pleasant experience and a well deserved session. I would definitely recommend them and be coming back for any other issue I may have.
Lee Maharaj

My very first time seeing a physio and Sinqobile made me feel at ease. I especially appreciated that she took the time to explain to me what I was experiencing and showed me on a picture so I could understand. She is friendly and professional and seems to be quite knowledgeable. Definitely happy to have booked with her. Every other staff member I encountered on my visits was polite and friendly. Such a lovely practice!
Thato Rasebotsa

Thanks for the great level of professionalism, Sinqobile Msimango! You’re great at paying attention to one’s needs and giving good tips on how to prevent strain going forward. Thank you for your positive attitude! You are highly recommended, especially to black women who might struggle finding medical professionals that make them feel comfortable in their medical consultations.

Customer Reviews
I recently started acupuncture treatments with Dr. Motsisi for lower back pain, a pinched nerve, and numbness on the right side of my body – and I am truly grateful for her care. From my first session, I felt warmly welcomed and reassured by her deep knowledge and holistic approach to healing. She seamlessly integrates Chinese medicine with a broader, whole-body, mind, soul and spiritual perspective, making each session both therapeutic and restorative.
Not only has my body been responding well to the treatments, but I’ve also gained a deeper appreciation for the balance and harmony that acupuncture promotes. Dr. Motsisi’s professionalism, warmth, and commitment to patient well-being make her an exceptional practitioner. If you’re looking for a dedicated and skilled acupuncturist, I highly recommend her practice!
Liteboho Makhele

I had the privilege of experiencing both conventional physiotherapy and acupuncture with Dr. Mmatheo Motsisi, and it was truly a divine and spiritual. The session was not only deeply healing for my body but also for my mind and soul. Dr. Motsisi’s approach is gentle yet powerful.She also conducted energy field testing, which was incredible. It showed me how energy leaks when something is out of balance. It was eye-opening and added a whole new layer to my healing experience.
I came in with persistent back pain, and after the session, I felt an immediate release. The pain significantly eased, and I enjoyed the most restful sleep I’d had in weeks. This experience went beyond just physical relief — it was a holistic and spiritually rejuvenating journey. Highly recommend Dr. Motsisi for anyone seeking healing on all levels.
Lerato Molete

Visiting Mama as I called her is not only about attending to your physical problems. She goes deep into your inner being because of her Spritual Gift. The healing happens in your mind and automatically when she touches you with her tools, you feel the healing in your body. Always be positive, you will get positive results.
Mophethe Moeketsi

I was incredibly impressed with my recent visit to Dr. Mmatheo Motsisi . From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and valued. Dr. Mmatheo Motsis took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and discuss treatment options in a clear and understandable way. I left feeling confident in my care plan and truly appreciated their compassionate approach.
takalani makhado

Amazing service, Thando was my physiotherapist, she explained everything, answered all my questions and walked me through everything I needed to know and do going forward. Left my appointment without the opportunity to thank her, she really was amazing. I’ve recommended her to the rest of my teammates and friends who are weirdly suffering from similar knee issues.
Lutho Kondile

Best physio I’ve had, and I’ve tried all in the area. My unbearable pain was fixed in a single session. From reception to the therapists, everyone is really professional and friendly. Therapist was happy to explain everything he was doing and gave great advice. I’ve finally found a treatment centre that will always deliver
Damin Assad

This week I came down with the horrible flu that has been going around. I was coughing terribly and my whole body was sore, I had a fever and the headache was unbearable. I am also 17 weeks pregnant so I was a bit hesitant to rush off to the doctor for a course of strong antibiotics. Sam suggested I book for one of her physio’s to do a home visit. The lovely Yarrissa came for my appointment on Wednesday morning. After a lot of chest pounding and some nebulising, I could feel the phlegm loosening. She came for a second appointment on the Thursday to do a bit more chest vibrating and to check if there was improvement. By that evening I was already feeling so much better. My headache had disappeared, I was breathing properly again and I could feel the cough was becoming less violent. I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am. If I had known that chest physio works so well, I would’ve been doing this for years to combat the flu. I am truly a physio convert and would highly recommend you give the amazing physio’s at Sam Dunbar inc a try.
Victoria Modise

What a lovely practice & Samantha is the best physiotherapist! She is the only physiotherapist to get me pain free.
Thank you Sam for always assisting me and may your practice go from strength to strength.

She is knowledgeable, empathetic and keeps up to date with the latest research. Anees Noorbhai is also a wonderful, experienced physio who helped my gardener with a very painful back injury. Mel, at reception, is friendly and a pleasure to deal with. They are able to submit accounts directly to medical aid which is most helpful. I would highly recommend this practice.

Ngozi was superb with my son who had bad pneumonia. Firstly, she was so kind and accommodating.Coming out to put home when we could not come in.Secondly, at our follow up with the Dr. The Dr said the Physio who worked with your son did a brilliant job of really working his lungs and managed to clear them. Debbie was on top of all progress of appointments, giving guidance and help all along the recovery period. We are so grateful to Ngozi, Debbie and Team. Thank you for helping to get my son better and back on track. Wishing you all continued success.

Anees worked on my daughter for 10 days straight while she had RSV. He helped us also get an understanding by telling us about the nature of the virus.
He was flexible with time and made sure to fit us in everyday. He was excellent. He helped her so much. She is 15 weeks old. We are so grateful that Anees treated her. Thank you Anees!

I honestly had a such a good and positive experience. I selected Carmen based off other reviewers as I have been looking for a physio and she did not disappoint. She listened, she had a great bedside manner and a good temperament all around. I intend to go back again for sure.
Funeka Peppeta

Carmen is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She not only fixed my injured back muscles but also educated me on how to prevent future injuries through stretching and being mindful of my daily habits – all in one session.
Jocha Cronjé

Carmen is absolutely amazing. I don’t even want to think where my pain would be if I hadn’t seen her. I had intercostal pain and rib fractures. She sorted me out in 3 sessions. I literally could not move when I arrived at her rooms a week ago. I had to fight back the tears I was in so much pain. Even after the first session the relief was immense. I am so fortunate to have seen Carmen. She is truly a master in her field. My husband sees her for all his injuries and also thinks the world of her. Thank you Carmen.
Bronwyn Kinross

I have seen Carmen on two issues in the past year. She helped me with a sore neck just before a 14 hour flight. Recently with a nerve in back acting up. She is not close to my home or work but worth the extra time to venture out for quality care
Manoshan Pillay

Carmen is genuinely engaged with her patients. She goes the extra mile, and you really feel that she cares about your progress. I recommend her unreservedly.

I had the pleasure of being treated by Landré for a knee injury, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the care and expertise I received. From the moment I walked into his clinic, I felt welcomed and in good hands.
Landré not only possesses exceptional knowledge in his field but also has a genuine passion for helping his patients recover. He took the time to thoroughly assess my injury, explain the treatment plan, and patiently answer all my questions.
Throughout the rehabilitation process, I saw significant improvements in my knee’s strength and mobility, all thanks to Landré’s tailored exercises, sports massage and guidance. His encouragement and positive attitude made every session enjoyable and motivating.
I’m thrilled to say that I’ve made a full recovery, and I credit Landré for his skill and dedication. If you’re in need of top-notch biokineticist care, I highly recommend him. Thank you for helping me get back on my feet!
Shannon

Landre is a consummate professional. He is managing to break down muscle knots that have been bothering me for ages. From being in continual pain in both arms I’m now almost pain free and able to do as I do once again. I’m now attending him regularly to get my pain sorted and will continue to see him long term to maintain a pain free existence. If you are in pain in any part of your body, Landre is the guy to sort it for you..he really is damned good at what he does and I highly recommend him.
Tony Baruch

Landré does fantastic work whether it’s mobility assessments helping you to identify issues and avoid injuries or sports massages to work out tight areas. Have had many sessions with him and plan on many more!
Jacob Richardson

I had an exceptional experience at Nexus Physical Rehab Center. Landre, the owner and biokeneticist, goes above and beyond to ensure personalized recovery for each individual. He genuinely cares about the health and well-being of his clients.

Had a really wonderful experience from the prompt booking by Thembi with emails of the forms to the consultations and treatments with Physiotherapist Tarcia and Biokineticist Fatima. Wonderful ladies in the BC team. Their reception also very welcoming and facilities were really clean. I’ve known about this place for a while now and my only regret is that I didn’t go there sooner.

Subject: RE: Bryanston: A7 Health Appointment Feedback
Importance: High
Good afternoon Zukiswa,
I visited on the below date and thought I’d give some feedback.
I googled specifically looking for a physio, explained that I was in excruciating pain and was given an appointment for the next day.
I took time to carefully fill out all 9 pages of the consultation and was disappointed to see that the physio didn’t even look at the form and asked questions that were answered in those pages.
I have been struggling with chronic pain for many years, I have a beauty salon with staff who are fantastic at massage and I visit a neurological chiropractor every Monday.
I was 100% clear when I made the booking that I needed something else to give me relief.
I stand corrected but I think the physio’s name was Thando.
Firstly, she didn’t look at the 9 pages I completed then proceeded to do an “analysis” of sorts & only after I was clear about needing the actual treatment (AGAIN) did she take me back into the room.
She asked me “what is it that I want” – I am familiar with anatomy & prior to this frustrating question, I explained & showed her by touching her neck & shoulder.
I then experienced the worst attempt at a physio session I have ever experienced – I started treatment in 1994 so I have been to a few.
I would be surprised if she has an actual physio qualification because when I asked for lev scap trigger points, I’m not quite sure what I received.
I was hoping for some interferential, stretching, shoulder mobility and actual trigger points but what I received was a localised massage my junior therapist could have done 10 times better.
While laying there, trying to constantly explain to her where the issue is I wondered if I should just get up & walk out.
I waited for the doctor who was very sweet & kind, while she prescribed painkillers I thought about the huge waste of time, money and most importantly hope!
If I wasn’t in tears when I walked out, I would have complained then & there & most probably refused to pay for that “physio” session.
I spent hard earned money from my business & honestly would like a refund for the physio session.
I’m still deciding on weather to do a google review, I’m so disappointed because the reviews before this terrible experience were great.
I am so disappointed
Please confirm when I will receive my refund
Here’s my bank details:
Laurien Lawrence

This clinic is managed very professionally from the point of managing appointments to the process of Doctor consultation, physiotherapy and biokinetics. I have been on a 6 week program thus far and there is tremendous improvement on my neck and back pains. They are highly recommended. A very good personal interaction with their patients from all who are employed there in this clinic.
Rafik Cassim

I recently completed my 12 week program at the Back clinic and it was well worth it. They really helped me learn how to manage the pain, they are literally there with you all the way! I loved the fact that you get a Biokenetics, a physiotherapist and a doctor to see you through your process. I thoroughly enjoyed the massages, really targeting the problem areas. Everyone was just amazing. Best service money can offer. Very clean facilities too.
If you suffer from back pain, give them a try you won’t regret it.
