We are a physiotherapy practice specialising in post-operative spine, orthopaedic and musculoskeletal care, with two locations serving the greater Johannesburg area. We treat headaches, back and neck pain, and sports injuries, and provide physiotherapy for children and teens, including scoliosis screening. Our post-operative spine rehabilitation starts in hospital and continues until you’re back to daily life.
We also treat patients injured at work or in motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents and accept Workmen’s Compensation (COIDA) claims. Every treatment starts with a thorough assessment, and we work closely with referring surgeons, doctors and other healthcare providers to coordinate your care.
Elana graduated with a BSc Physiotherapy degree from the University of the Free State in 2013 and completed her community service in Kimberley in 2014. With more than a decade of clinical experience, she has worked in private practice since 2015 and has a particular passion for orthopaedics and spinal rehabilitation.
Elana integrates Pilates principles into her physiotherapy treatments, helping patients build core stability, improve movement control and support long-term recovery.
Elana’s experience shapes the way we work across both of our practices. Whether a patient is taking their first steps after spinal surgery or returning to sport after an injury, our approach remains the same: evidence-based treatment, clear communication and a rehabilitation plan built around each individual’s goals.
Outside the practice, Elana is a mom of three and loves the outdoors.
Our Sandton practice works alongside an orthopaedic spine surgeon, providing dedicated rehabilitation for post-operative patients. We provide in-hospital care at Sandton Mediclinic and Morningside Mediclinic, supporting patients from the first days after surgery through to regaining strength, mobility and confidence.
Our Randburg practice, based at Pure Health Centre, focuses on outpatient care, sports injuries and general musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Situated close to Randburg High School and Unika Primary, we have a particular focus on young and school-aged athletes, helping them recover from sports injuries and return to the activities they love.
Across both practices, we’re committed to co-ordinated, expert care tailored to each patient’s recovery.
We help uncover the root cause of your headaches—whether it’s posture, tension, or underlying physical issues—and provide tailored treatment to address it. Our approach also includes effective, hands-on techniques to relieve pain fast, so you can feel better and stay better.
We work to identify the underlying cause of your back pain—whether it’s related to movement, posture, or injury—and create a personalised treatment plan to address it. Our goal is to provide immediate relief while helping you build long-term strength and mobility to prevent future flare-ups.
We focus on finding the true source of your neck pain, whether it’s tension, poor posture, or joint dysfunction. Our treatments combine immediate pain-relief techniques with long-term strategies to restore mobility, reduce strain, and keep your neck healthy and pain-free.
We treat sports injuries at the source—whether it’s a sprain, strain, or overuse issue—while also focusing on fast pain relief and safe return to activity. Our personalised rehab plans are designed to rebuild strength, prevent re-injury, and help you perform at your best.
We treat sports injuries, posture problems and growing pains in children and teens. We also screen for early signs of scoliosis, such as uneven shoulders or hips, and work with your child’s doctor where needed. Parents get clear guidance on home exercises.
We guide you through every stage of recovery after spinal surgery, following your surgeon’s protocols. Care starts in hospital at Sandton and Morningside Mediclinic, with safe early mobilisation and pain management. Structured rehab then restores mobility and strength, so you can return to daily life with confidence.
Injuries at work, from strains and back injuries to post-surgical cases, need treatment that gets you back to work safely. We accept Workmen’s Compensation (COIDA) patients and work with your employer and doctor to provide structured rehabilitation and the progress reports your claim requires.
Car and pedestrian accidents can cause whiplash, back and neck injuries, fractures and soft tissue damage. We support your recovery from the early stages, in hospital or as an outpatient, working with your medical team to restore movement, strength and function so you can return to daily life.
Every treatment starts with a thorough assessment to understand your condition and goals. We work closely with doctors, surgeons and other healthcare providers, accept referrals, and keep your medical team updated on your progress.

Elana is a great physio! She is very professional and really cares about her patients. I can highly recommend her!
Elana Bierman, one of a team of Physiotherapists who is contracted to our facility. Her sunny disposition and encouragement are a vital part of the motivation that gets our patients up and walking. She designs mobility plans for patients and works out which walking devices are best suited to their needs. In addition she is extremely adept at creatively solving rehabilitation problems.
Elana Bierman has been my physiotherapist for several years, and has helped me through various problems, including recovery from shoulder surgery and recovery from a bad haematoma in my leg. She is always courteous, professional and helpful. I attribute my quick and full recoveries to her excellent care. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!
