Margie had a longstanding interest in physiotherapy having come from a rowing background, but tried a couple of other career options first.  She gave those up to join the very first intake of students at the University of Zimbabwe studying for the four year BSc Physiotherapy Hons, and has remained in physiotherapy ever since.  Margie’s specialisation and passion is sports physiotherapy and she has been privileged to have worked with many of Zimbabwe’s top athletes and travelled with sports teams to numerous international events.  However, she works with a wide range of patients of all ages and conditions.  Margie’s personal approach to physiotherapy has been carefully developed over time and involves a detailed and careful assessment to determine not just the immediate problem but the underlying causes.  A wide range of therapeutic methods are utilised to address both the pain and the contributory factors.  Treatment itself is very largely hands-on and involves many years of experience, professional knowledge and communication skills to combine both the science and the art of healing.
