Dr. Willemvan der Merwe
Willem treats the cause, not just the symptom. Every plan starts with a full movement assessment, then a small number of exercises you will actually keep doing.
No two bodies fail the same way. Willem reads how you move first, finds the real limit, then builds the shortest honest path back to it. You leave with a plan you understand and can keep.

Before youbook.
- Do I need a referral?
- No. You can book directly. If your case needs a GP or surgeon involved, Willem coordinates that for you.

- Most recovery plans run 4 to 12 weeks. You get an honest estimate after the first assessment.
- Do you offer virtual sessions?
- Yes, for follow-ups and exercise reviews. First assessments are in person.
