Description
you told Barbara a year ago that she would be living in Knysna and open her own physiotherapy practice, she would have replied with a, “no way.” She was working and living in tropical Singapore at a physiotherapy and sports-clinic treating patients from all over the world and learned that we all have the same desires, aches and pains. Barbara attended myofascial release (massage technique) courses and brought this new found experience and knowledge to Knysna. After a thorough evaluation a holistic approach is used to treat, educate, guide and encourage your body back to health and wholeness. Her logo “Your health is in your hands” explains it all: ‘You need to realize that your well being is in your hands. You need to take responsibility as to what you put into your body and what you take out of your body. My logo represents just that: Your hands are holding your body and taking care of it.
