Sandra Winter is the founder of Integrated Physiotherapy. She set out to start a holistic practice in 2011, and has successfully grown it with the help of her associates Johanna, Scott and Jo-Ane to the practice it is today.

Sandra qualified in 1992 with the Exercise Teachers Association and continued to qualify as a physiotherapist in 1995 in Stellenbosch. Post graduate qualifications include the much-admired Orthopaedic Manipulative therapy (1999) and Sports Physiotherapy (2005).

Further working experience includes working in the UK in the NHS (1996). Since then, she has worked in private practice in Durban and has spent the last 18 years in George. She has been involved with the Sunshine Tour Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation unit since 2003 and has managed it since 2010. She has further collaborated with Women’s Golf South Africa, managing the physical conditioning of the squad from 2005 to date.

Sandra believes in combining screening of movement patterns, abnormal vs normal movement and relating these bio-mechanical movement patterns to the specific sport or function to be able to improve the sports and functional movements.

It is obvious that Sandra is interested in golf as she personally played golf at International and National level and still competes as a Mid-Amateur at National level. She also enjoys cycling and living an active social lifestyle.

Johanna Pretorius is a physiotherapist with a remarkable 34 years of experience. She previously worked in-hospital at Tygerberg in Cape Town, and later in George. Since 1992 she has worked in private practice with a special interest in treating musculoskeletal disorders. She has graced Integrated physiotherapy with her extensive knowledge and experience since she became an associate in 2012.

She has a passion to help each of her patients to enjoy a healthy, optimal and functional lifestyle, every day and every minute.

Being a keen trail runner, she likes to summit various mountains over weekends. She also enjoys  entertaining and cooking for friends.

Scott Rickard graduated with a BSc in Physiotherapy from the University of Stellenbosch and then ran a busy practice in Johannesburg before heading abroad in 2005.

He joined the teaching staff at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK where he worked his way up to the position of Professional Lead of the Physiotherapy division. After obtaining his Master's degree from the same university in 2012, Scott and his family relocated to George where he joined Integrated Physiotherapy as an associate.

Scott continues to teach a wide range of medical professionals on the topics of Musculoskeletal Sonar and Chronic Pain. Scott is passionate about helping patients in chronic pain to understand their symptoms and to regain a higher level of function and self-efficacy.

Scott loves exploring the trails in and around George and runs a couple of marathons a year. He is also a first league squash player, but his number one passion remains spending time outdoors with his wife and 3 daughters.

Jo-Ane finished her B.Sc Physiotherapy degree in Stellenbosch in 2000 (cum laude) while playing SA u/18 and u/21 Hockey.

Before moving to George she worked at a respected private practice in Durbanville treating hospital, ICU, orthopaedic patients as well as out-patients at the practice. She has worked as part of a physio team at senior sevens rugby tournaments (2013/2014) and Sunshine tour events (since 2013). Since 2013 she has been an associate at Integrated physiotherapy, with a general interest in sports injuries and orthopaedic rehabilitation as well as spinal health.

She has always had a big love and interest in sport and currently enjoys trail running, tennis, triathlon and general outdoor and social activities. In her remaining free time, she enjoys music and plays acoustic guitar.

Corné studied and qualified from the University of the Free state in 1994. She then went on and completed her post-graduate Qualification as an Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapist in 2000.

Her career kicked off at Pelonomi Hospital in Bloemfontein and in 1997 she went solo. She owned and managed a busy practice at Medicross until 2002. When the Hattinghs decided to spread their wings internationally to explore Europe, she worked at the outpatient department (2002-2004) of the QEII Hospital in the UK. 

On their return from the UK, Corné became a mother to their son, whilst also working part-time in Secunda until 2014. Corné joined Integrated Physiotherapy in 2017 and become the newest associate of the practice in 2023.

Being involved and participating in sport all her life - sports-injuries and thus, returning the patient to competing, excites her immensely. Although actively involved in the whole spectrum of physiotherapy, helping patients with headaches stands out as a special interest.

In her free time , Corné is actively involved with Eden Triathlon, as a committee member and as a Technical Official. She still enjoys running (although the mileage has declined significantly over time!). And when she is not working or running, she can be found in her garden or amongst the horses.

Rindi joined the team in 2020 after working in private practice and sub-acute facilities since qualifying in 2015. She has mostly worked in private practice where she has gained exposure in the field of sport and neuromusculoskeletal therapy. She has also enjoyed working at some Sunshine Tour events.

She has been dedicated to broadening her knowledge and skills out of constant curiosity, with the aim of providing scientific and evidence-based diagnoses and treatment. She is passionate about gaining a better understanding on how to enhance performance, healing, and quality of life in each individual.

She has a special interest in Pilates and integrating these principles into her practice. She has successfully completed Modern Clinical Pilates (Level 1 and 2) and is Pilates certified.

She enjoys doing Pilates, trail running and swimming. She is equally bookworm and social and enjoys dabbling in art in her free time.
