About Our Practice

Evidence-Based Physiotherapy,Tailored to Every Patient

Sandton Physiotherapist is an evidence-based practice located in the heart of Sandton, Gauteng — specialising in sports-related injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. Every treatment plan is designed around the individual, not a textbook.

The practice is led by Francesca Carleo, a Senior Physiotherapist and Owner with a BSc in Physiotherapy from the University of the Witwatersrand and over 13 years of hands-on clinical experience. Her philosophy is simple: understand the root cause, treat it with precision, and equip each patient with the knowledge to recover and stay well.

Evidence-Based

Every technique and protocol is grounded in current clinical research and best practice.

Individualised Treatment

No two patients are treated the same — your care plan is built around your specific condition and goals.

Hands-On Technique

Manual therapy, dry needling, fascial release, and orthopaedic manipulation delivered with clinical precision.

Rehabilitation Focus

Beyond pain relief — you leave each session with education and a personalised program to prevent recurrence.
