Jane MacKinnon
With more than 40 years of physiotherapy experience, Jane brings a practical, patient-centred approach to helping people move better, recover well, and stay active at every stage of life.
Born in England and raised in Cape Town, Jane completed her B.Sc. Physiotherapy in 1983. She built her career in both Johannesburg and the UK and completed postgraduate training in the Cyriax Method of orthopaedic manual therapy while overseas. After many years in a busy Johannesburg practice, she relocated to the Lowveld when her husband’s business necessitated the move.
Her continuing professional development has focused largely on neuromusculoskeletal care, and she has a special interest in supporting injured sportspeople through their return-to-play journey. She also enjoys assisting older adults with mobility, strength, balance, and confidence in daily movement.
Jane combines her personal love of running and weight training with her physiotherapy practice by encouraging patients to move as well as they are able, whatever their age, fitness level, or stage of recovery. She embraces the principle of Exercise is Medicine: that appropriate movement can be a powerful part of health, recovery and long-term wellbeing. Her treatment combines hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling, and clear patient education. With decades of experience, she values an evidence-informed and flexible approach, recognising that no single treatment suits every person. Patients can expect practical guidance, clear explanations, and care tailored to their individual needs and goals.
