If something feels more like an injury than tightness, start
with a physio assessment.
01
Physiotherapy
Recover from injury or surgery, manage pain and move with
confidence again.
Every first session starts with a thorough assessment to
understand what’s driving your symptoms, followed by
hands-on treatment and a clear, progressive rehab plan.
Private, unhurried care through pregnancy, postnatal recovery
and menopause.
Pelvic health concerns are common, and they’re
treatable. Sessions are private and unhurried, and where
appropriate include an internal pelvic floor assessment,
which is always explained fully and only done with your
consent.
1:1 physio-led Pilates and sports massage to build strength
and recover well.
Personalised 1:1 Pilates, built around your body and
goals. Book it any time to build strength, control and
mobility, or as the next step once your rehab is
complete. Sports massage helps ease muscle tightness and
supports recovery from training and events.
At RISE, your physio sits right alongside your training.

For Rise members
I liaise directly with your Rise coaches, so your training works
around your injury, not against it.
About Alex
Hi, I’mAlex Heiberg
I’m an HPCSA-registered physiotherapist with a special interest in
musculoskeletal and orthopaedic rehab, sports and running injuries,
and women’s health. My approach is hands-on, rehab-focused and
evidence-based.
As a Type 1 diabetic, I know first-hand how much staying strong and
active matters. Outside of work, you’ll find me swimming, running,
or with family and friends.
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of the Western
Cape and started at a rural hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, before
working in a cardiac ICU in Cape Town.
Three years in London is where rehab became the heart of my
work: first as a first-contact physio across four clinics with
pitchside cover for school rugby, then at Six Physio,
alongside leading sports medicine and orthopaedic consultants.
There I used objective strength testing to guide patients back
to sport, ran physio-led reformer Pilates and trained new
rehab physios.
Back in Cape Town, I spent a year and a half in private
practice alongside orthopaedic specialists, treating a high
volume of foot and ankle injuries. I also offer running
assessments and specialised running rehab.
I’ve completed a women’s health foundations course focusing on
pelvic health, and trained in acupuncture, dry needling and
reformer Pilates.
