MEET
KARINE BEZUIDENHOUT
I’m Karine Bezuidenhout. I am a physiotherapist, yoga instructor and athlete. I love exploring the physicality of who we are as humans. My favourite form of exercise is to interact, in a fun way, with my immediate environment. I love being part of anyone else's process of enabling their bodies to interact with their environments in a fun, strong and graceful way.
My body of work as a physiotherapist includes breath work, fascia work, all the neural and soft tissue treatments, dry needling, kinesiology taping, mindful movement and voice work. These are all tools that I like to mix up in my work.
I’m trained as a lymphoedema therapist which allows me to work with yet another layer and another system.
​
My favourite bodywork entails working with the nervous system. I aim to facilitate healing and empower my patients to continue healing as a habit.

Relevant Industry Experience
I spent one month working in a Kundalini Yoga immersion retreat in Sri Lanka as a host, therapist and yoga instructor.
​
I’ve travelled with Junior South African indoor cricket teams to world championships as the team physio.
​
I've worked from a climbing gym, as well as a pilates and yoga studio, enjoying working with patients in an ideal environment to make healing a habit.
​
I work for a few months in climbing season from Waterval Boven, from Tranquilitas and Roc n Rope. Boven is an iconic climbing destination in Mpumulanga South Africa.
I've also worked from Rocklands Basecamp in the Cederberg where I've served climbers from around the world
I worked full-time and in recent years part-time in a physio practice with Allison Dendy. This practice focused on Lymphoedema, the only practice in South Africa that does lymph-fluoroscopy, a diagnostic tool that enables treatment and self-care of this condition.
​
I've worked with runners since I've qualified
KARINE AS AN ATHLETE
CLIMBER
I started climbing in 2011 when I spent a year in South Korea. The sport has influenced how I live my life and how I engage with my environment.
I love working with climbers, helping them to be their best. I love working from climbing areas and helping patients to send in style.
Climbing plays an important role when making choices that will influence my lifestyle. I am at my happiest when I can be near rock and draw inspiration and calm from climbing.

The first session we get to know each other, I get to understand your life and the demands on your body and spend most of the session hands-on.
SESSION TWO
The second session is more or less 40 minutes hands-on, with 20 minutes of a movement or breath practice that aims to be incorporated in your daily routine.
SESSION THREE
The last session depends on the patient’s needs and aims to empower the patient to continue the healing habits in their daily life, allowing the patient to thrive.
