Pretoria's Clinical Biomechanics Coach
From chronic pain
TO ATHLETIC
in 90 days.
You've been told to rest, to take painkillers, maybe even to consider surgery. But what if your pain isn't a structural problem — it's a postural one? I fix the root cause, not the symptom.

You're not imagining it
Chronic pain isn't
your destiny —
it's a signal.
Most women in their late 30s and early 40s have been living with nagging pain so long it feels normal. Back, hips, knees, neck. They try physio, painkillers, rest — and nothing sticks. Because they're treating the symptom, not the cause.
The real culprit is almost always postural: muscles firing in the wrong sequence, joints loading incorrectly, movement patterns that compound over years. The good news? Postural imbalances are correctable — without surgery, without downtime, without giving up your life.
"At 16, doctors told me I'd need spinal fusion by 25 if I didn't stop sport. A physio in Potchefstroom changed everything — he found a postural imbalance, gave me exercises, and the pain was gone."
— Lianne Herbst, Founder
DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Lower back pain
Persistent ache that gets worse after sitting at your desk all day
Hip & knee tension
Pain climbing stairs or getting up that "shouldn't" happen at your age
Neck & shoulder tightness
Constant knots no amount of massage permanently fixes
Workout-triggered injury
Every time you try to get fit, something flares up and sets you back
Exhaustion & weight
Your body uses massive energy just compensating for pain daily
Told "just manage it"
Doctors who offer nothing beyond rest, pills, or waiting lists
PAIN
THE CLINICAL APPROACH
Three pillars that actually fix the
problem
Unlike standard programs that ignore joint health and invite injury, I use a clinically-informed method that treats your body as the complex, interconnected system it is.
BIOMECHANICS
Postural Imbalance Assessment
We identify exactly where your movement patterns are breaking down — the specific muscle chains that are overworking or underworking, creating the compensations that cause your pain.
-
Sports-massage-informed movement screen
-
Joint loading and mobility analysis
-
Personalised corrective exercise prescription
-
Progressive overload — no flare-up triggers
METABOLIC NUTRITION
Targeted Nutrition Protocol
Not a generic eating plan. Nutrition designed to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, fuel your athletic goals, and work with a South African lifestyle and food culture.
-
Anti-inflammatory nutritional framework
-
Macros calibrated to your body & goals
-
Lean physique without chronic restriction

MY STORY
I was told I'd need surgery.
A posture correction saved me.
At school, I lived for sport. But the price of that was a back that had specialists talking about spinal fusion by age 25. Surgery was never something I was willing to accept.Then, during my student years in Potchefstroom, a perceptive physio noticed something everyone else had missed: my problem wasn't structural — it was postural. A handful of targeted exercises, and the pain disappeared entirely.
That moment changed the entire direction of my life. If a postural fix could save me from surgery — how many other women were suffering unnecessarily?
Ten years of obsessive learning followed. Not just exercise science — but biomechanics, soft tissue therapy, nutrition, pre/postnatal health, EMS training. All converging into the method I now use to help women like you, every single day.
