Pierre moved from South Africa after school and attended university in Australia in the early 2000s. Working as an accountant for a few years, Pierre decided to follow his passion for helping people and study physiotherapy. Having completed Health Sciences with majors in neuroscience and physiology, he gained a place in the Masters of Physiotherapy program at the Flinders University of Adelaide. Since graduating he worked in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy, community rehabilitation, pediatrics, and the hospital setting, making him a well-rounded physiotherapist.
Pierre has a special interest in neurological rehabilitation, in addition to treating shoulder and back problems. He takes a biomechanical approach in his treatment, which means he looks at the way you move and corrects the cause of the injury rather than just treating symptoms. Keeping up to date with current evidence has always been a priority and he has completed numerous courses.
