Nicky Roote - BSc Physiotherapy (Hons) UCT
As a UCT graduate in 1994, I began ten years of travelling and working – in paediatric physiotherapy in Florida (USA), orthopaedics in the NHI (UK) and in a top sports and orthopaedic practice in PE, before opening my own practice in 2005. I love my work – I derive enormous satisfaction on a daily basis from the people I meet and care for. I have served as a member on the National Executive Committee and the Eastern Cape committee of the SA Society of Physiotherapy where I remain involved. I take part in outreaches to the public during our national “Physiotherapy Back Week” campaign and assist regularly with physio services at sports events under the SASP banner. My practice is involved in several Social Responsibility projects. After not being particularity sporty at school I have developed a love for it, enjoying the physical and mental challenges it provides. My biggest sporting challenge to date was paddling the “Southern Shamaal” in 2010, a grueling four day surfski race which involves paddling the 250km from Port Elizabeth to East London. |

Annemie Erasmus - BSc Physiotherapy (Hons) US
I graduated from the University of Stellenbosch in 2010. After doing my community service in Cradock, I completed my post graduate diploma in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) in 2013. Being a sports person myself, (MTB, cycling, squash and running) I understand what sport means to a person and how injuries affect you. My goal is to get every patient back to their sport or work as soon as possible. Working in private practice for the past 6 years has given me experience and a special interest in sports injuries, musculoskeletal problems, orthopaedic pain and the rehabilitation of people with amputations. |

Micha Cronje - BSc Physiotherapy (Hons) UFS
I graduated from the University of the Free State in 2011 and completed my community service year in 2012 in my hometown, Virginia. I moved to Johannesburg in 2013 where I worked in a multi-disciplinary setup for 3 years with mostly Orthopaedic and Medical patients. I moved to Port Elizabeth in 2016 and have been working at Nicky Roote Physiotherapy since then. Paediatric physiotherapy is my passion. I had the great privilege to work with Sandra Evans treating children with Low Muscle Tone and children with disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy. My hobbies include hiking, running and tennis. As a physiotherapist, there is no greater satisfaction as to see a smile on your patients face when they have achieved their goals that they have worked so hard for. |
