You do not need to know which treatment you need before booking. This page explains some of the common pain and movement problems people seek help with and gives a clearer starting point for understanding where your symptoms may fit.
Back and Spine Conditions
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people in Johannesburg seek musculoskeletal assessment. Symptoms may be short-term or persistent and can affect sitting, standing, walking, training or everyday movement.
Sciatica
Sciatic-type symptoms may involve pain, irritation or altered sensation travelling from the lower back or gluteal area into the leg. The underlying cause can vary which is why assessment is important before treatment.
Chronic Lower Back Pain
Pain that has continued for weeks or months often needs a broader look at movement, history, work habits and other contributing factors. Assessment helps establish which areas may be relevant before any treatment approach is considered.
Postural & Desk-Related Back Pain
Long hours at a desk, prolonged sitting and repetitive work positions can contribute to stiffness or discomfort through the lower back and thoracic region.
Neck, head & shoulder problems

Movement & sports-related problems
Sports Injuries
Hip Pain & Restriction
Movement-related injuries can affect training, recovery and everyday activity. Assessment helps identify what may be involved. Treatment and guidance are then tailored to the individual.
Hip discomfort can affect walking, sitting and sport. The source is not always obvious, so assessment comes first. Appropriate care is then selected.
Knee Discomfort
Knee problems may arise from movement, loading or underlying mechanics. Assessment helps clarify what may be relevant. Treatment is considered accordingly.
Mobility & Movement Restriction
Reduced mobility can follow injury, tension or habitual movement patterns. Assessment helps identify contributing factors. A measured approach to care follows.
Running/Training-Related Strain
Recurring strain during running or training often relates to mechanics, load or recovery. Assessment helps establish what may be driving it. Guidance and care are then tailored.
Foot, ankle & lower limb problems
Foot Pain
Foot pain can affect standing, walking and activity. The cause can vary, so assessment comes first. Appropriate care is then considered.
Plantar/Mechanical Foot Issues
Some foot problems relate to mechanical loading and foot function. Assessment helps identify whether this may be relevant. Care is then guided by what is found.
Ankle Discomfort
Ankle discomfort may follow injury, instability or mechanical factors. Assessment helps clarify what may be contributing. Treatment is selected accordingly.
Gait & Movement Mechanics
The way a person moves can contribute to recurring discomfort. Assessment of gait and mechanics can help identify relevant factors. Treatment and guidance follow.
Other reasons people seek assessment.
Jaw/TMJ tension
Tension through the jaw may relate to clenching, posture or stress.
Muscular trigger points
Localised areas of muscular tension can contribute to referred discomfort.
General stiffness
Everyday stiffness may follow posture, inactivity or repetitive movement.
Post-injury restriction
Lingering restriction after injury can benefit from assessment and hands-on care.
Recurrent tension
Recurring tension often needs a broader look at contributing factors.
Work-related discomfort
Discomfort linked to desk work or repetitive tasks is common and assessable.
Cupping-related treatment interest
Cupping may be discussed as part of a broader hands-on approach where appropriate.
Specific areas of practice and specialist interests will be expanded once confirmed with Dr Jay.
