In today’s fast-paced world, we’ve become conditioned to expect quick fixes — whether it’s a pill for a headache or a brace for back pain. While these “solutions” may provide temporary relief, they rarely address the root cause of the problem. At Broadacres Physio, situated in Broadacres (Fourways), Johannesburg, we believe in doing things differently.
As physiotherapists, our mission goes beyond simply treating your pain. We aim to uncover the deeper, underlying issues that contribute to your symptoms. This approach leads to more effective treatment, long-lasting results, and a stronger, healthier you.
If you’re searching for a physiotherapist in Fourways who truly cares about your long-term recovery and wellness, you’re in the right place.

Symptoms Are the Surface — We Dig Deeper
Think of your pain or discomfort as the tip of the iceberg. You may feel tightness in your neck, a dull ache in your shoulder, or stiffness in your lower back — but the actual cause could stem from poor posture, repetitive strain, muscle imbalances, or even stress.
At Broadacres Physio, our experienced physiotherapists are trained to look at the whole body, not just the painful area. We perform a comprehensive clinical evaluation to identify the root cause of your symptoms — because when you treat the cause, the symptoms often disappear naturally.
Why Treating the Root Cause Matters
When you treat only the symptom, you’re likely to experience:
- Temporary relief
- Recurring injuries
- Dependence on painkillers or aids
- Increased frustration and expense
- Delayed healing
On the other hand, treating the underlying issue allows for:
- Faster and more complete recovery
- Reduced risk of recurrence
- Improved overall function and performance
- Empowerment through education
- Long-term health and independence
Common Conditions Where Symptoms Can Be Misleading
Many conditions present in one area but originate from another. Here are a few examples we commonly see at Broadacres Physio in Fourways:
- Lower back pain caused by weak glutes or poor core stability
- Shoulder pain stemming from poor thoracic mobility or neck dysfunction
- Knee pain due to tight hip flexors or poor ankle mechanics
- Wrist and elbow pain related to posture and repetitive strain
- Headaches triggered by neck muscle tension or jaw misalignment
By identifying these links, our physios are able to create a targeted and effective treatment plan that actually solves the problem — not just masks the pain.
Our Holistic, Hands-On Approach
At Broadacres Physio, we combine traditional physiotherapy with modern, evidence-based techniques to treat the whole person, not just the injury. Here’s what you can expect:
✅ Clinical Evaluation
A thorough, head-to-toe assessment to understand your pain, lifestyle, movement patterns, and medical history.
✅ Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques including joint mobilisations, massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and dry needling to relieve tension and restore function.
✅ Strength & Mobility Work
Corrective exercises that focus on core stability, posture, and biomechanics to improve strength and prevent future injuries.
✅ Education
We teach you how your body works, why your symptoms are happening, and what you can do daily to stay pain-free.
✅ Collaboration with Biokinetics
Our partnership with Kelly Frames Biokinetics, located on the same premises in Broadacres, allows us to take your rehabilitation to the next level — from hands-on treatment to structured strengthening programs.

How to Know If You’re Only Treating the Symptoms

- You’ve been in pain for more than 2 weeks
- The pain keeps coming back after treatment
- You rely on medication or taping regularly

- You’re not improving with rest alone
