Hi, I’m Clare Cresswell, a physiotherapist and mindfulness coach.
I work with people who are challenged with long-term (chronic) health conditions and pain to find creative and manageable ways to live their lives to the full.
I have been practising physiotherapy since 1983, completing a BSc Physiotherapy at the University of the Witwatersrand. I opened my private practice in 1989 and completed the certification in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT 1).
In 2017, I graduated with an MSc in Physiotherapy, focusing on Pain Management in Physiotherapy, as well as completing teacher training in Mindfulness-Based Interventions through the University of Stellenbosch, under the auspices of the Institute of Mindfulness of South Africa (IMISA). I have also completed a certification in Mindfulness-Based Chronic Pain Management through the University of Toronto.
I keep up-to-date professionally by attending courses regularly, including those offered by international lecturers.
