She then went on to complete a certificate in Orthopaedic Manual therapy and another certificate in Pain Management. She was previously a co-owner of a private practice in South Africa with a keen focus on managing a variety of musculoskeletal problems, sports injuries, chronic pain, work related injuries and return to work rehabilitation.
Isabel is also a qualified MAP (Myofascial Activated Posture) Movement trainer, an exercise style integrating the knowledge of fascia to improve posture, overall flexibility and strength. In her treatment she incorporates these techniques to help her patients become more independent in managing and preventing pain. She also incorporates these techniques into individualised exercise programs. Isabel is passionate about helping her patients becoming less fearful of movement – using her extensive knowledge of biomechanics and the interplay of all the different body systems.Isabel moved to Perth with her husband and three children in 2023. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family, living a healthy, active lifestyle which include going to the beautiful beaches and parks around Perth.
