Dane graduated from the University of Stellenbosch in 2012 with a BSc in Sport Science and in 2016 with a BSc in Physiotherapy.
Having a special interest in sports medicine and orthopaedic physiotherapy, Dane has spent most of his career working in these lines and therefore specialises in sports injuries and musculo-skeletal injuries.
Dane’s approach to treatment involves a fair combination of manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation, ensuring the patient is treated as a whole and not just an injury.
Outside of work, you are likely to find Dane on the golf course, squash court or out running with his fur-child, Archie.
