PHYSIOWORX

A Multi-disciplinary Centre

Physioworx at Off Nicol provides the team of Tanya Bell-Jenje Suzanne Rogers, and Lindsay Harris, with an opportunity to bring their multidisciplinary sports and orthopaedic physiotherapy approach to one centre, and to bring their lecture routines to their own lecture venue. Off Nicol's lecture facility is equipped with state-of-the art learning facilities and demonstration stations in one integrated site.

As well as Off-Nicol Health Wellness and Rehab in Bryanston, Physioworx continues to operate from Wilgeheuwel Hospital, and Melville where Tanya and Suzanne Rogers first opened their practice, Bell and Rogers, in 1989.

Individualised treatment

Our approach to assessment and treatment is patient-specific and individualised.

Often the source of the problem is in a different area to the site of pain. Finding the source means fewer treatments, less recurrence, and better outcomes.To achieve this we offer:

Detailed assessment from experienced clinicians
Analysis of movement dysfunction
A skilled hands-on approach
Postural & movement correction
Restoration of muscle imbalances
Manual and manipulative therapy techniques
Core stabilisation & creative exercise progression

Tanya Bell-Jenje , Lindsay Harris and Suzanne Rogers

Tanya Bell Jenje

BSc Physio (UCT), MSc Physio (WITS)

Founding partner of Bell Rogers & Harris in 1989 (formerly known as Bell & Harvey), Northern Irish born Tanya takes her heritage seriously and enjoys injecting humour, tradition and warmth into the daily running of what has become one of Johannesburg’s most respected Physiotherapy practices. Her fiery side is magnificently tempered by partner and friend Suzanne and the addition of new partner Lindsay will add an exciting new dimension and strength to the practice.The combination of a Masters degree in Physiotherapy, involvement in multiple international teams and sports events, a love of competing in sport and a fierce thirst for knowledge culminated in the development of Tanya’s lecturing career. Tanya’s teaching of posture, biomechanics, kinematics and the quest for finding the source of a patient’s pain has sent her all over the world including the UK & the Channel Islands, UAE, USA, Africa and India. She has been a keynote speaker in both Orthopaedic and Sport congresses both locally and abroad. Tanya’s fascination with anatomy has assisted in developing rehabilitation programs aimed at correcting postural and biomechanical faults to improve self-esteem, reduce pain and dysfunction and enhance performance. Out of the office Tanya loves cycling & physical challenges. She blends a love of snow – skiing and the Bush with quality family time. Two great kids and a wonderful husband keep the balance.

Lindsay Harris

BSc Physio (Wits), MSc Physio (WITS)

Born in a small town with the “BIG hole”, Kimberley, Lindsay moved to the City of Gold at the age of five. At 13yrs, she volunteered for boarding school – and her parents sent her to St Michael’ s School in Bloemfontein. At school she loved sport – playing provincial hockey and completing her senior ballet and modern dancing exams. She returned to the TLC of her parents, and attended WITS University, where she completed both her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Physiotherapy – with special interest in Sports Physiotherapy. After the strain of a master’s degree – she “fled” to the United Kingdom, where she worked and travelled for two years, travelling throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. Lindsay returned to South Africa to work in an Orthopaedic sports and rehabilitation centre – working closely with specialist orthopaedic surgeons, and other members of the multi disciplinary medical team. Lindsay has very recently joined Bell Rogers and Harris as a business partner – and is excited about the extensive growth and vision of what is a dynamic, friendly and caring practice. While she treats all orthopaedic and sports injuries, she has a special interest in the shoulder and ankle joint assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation, has spent many an hour on the side of the sports field – doing on-field sports physiotherapy, and loves being involved in any screening and preventative intervention for adolescents, athletes and sports fanatics. Her love for the profession and ongoing teaching within it – has led to her being involved in the post graduate Sports Physiotherapy Course (SPT), which she will, together with a strong team co-ordinate in 2014. In order to remain current, she continues to attend courses, congresses and meetings.

Suzanne is the “Rogers” of the dynamic Bell Rogers & Harris Physioworx team and as such, is one of those responsible for the smooth running of the ship! She qualified as a physiotherapist in 1990 from UCT and started her adventure into rehabilitation working at the Conradie Spinal Injury Unit in Cape Town. Following the compulsory year working on the UK locum physio circuit and travelling Europe, she returned to SA to complete the post-grad course in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy. Before having a family she gained lots of experience travelling with various sports teams. A highlight for her was attending the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games with the SA team. Suzanne stays up-to-date with current physio trends by attending courses and conferences, both locally and internationally. She currently lectures on both the post graduate Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy and the Sports Physiotherapy Courses. She has a passion for hydrotherapy and is constantly amazed at the results that can be achieved when rehabilitating a client in the water. Suzanne is a Libran and is drawn to achieving balance in her life between her career and her family. She is kept busy working on her management skills both at the physio practice and at home being a mother to two teenagers!

She is very active in her spare time and is always found on some sports field or adventure challenge.

Michelle Blew

BSc Physio (UCT)

One of the newest members to the BRH team. Michelle was born and schooled in Joburg. Needing to flee the nest, she went to UCT and completed her BSc Honours in Physiotherapy. After completing her community service year at Groote Schuur, Michelle packed her bags and headed to Pretoria to work in the public sector for the next four years. During this time she completed her Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy course, assisted with student supervision of the University of Pretoria physiotherapy students and worked in all areas of physiotherapy. But Joburg is best, and now Michelle has come full circle and returned to her home turf. Michelle likes to combine her two passions; travelling and road running, so she has finished the Rome Marathon, Berlin Marathon and Comrades Marathon, even if she just "plods along". Michelle enjoys any sport, a good challenge and great company.
