In 2009 she completed the Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT1) postgraduate certification through the South African Society of Physiotherapy. She is dedicated to continuing her education and skills, because she believes that even after 19 years in practice there is always something new to learn.
Her interest lies in sport, musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions. She prides herself in looking at her patients holistically, as individuals and treating each one’s pain as uniquely as they are.
Marie is the proud mom of two children, one of which is a special little girl with cerebral palsy. She loves art, reading, scuba diving and swimming. And anytime she can get away to the bushveld or ocean her soul gets recharged.

Lauren Tomes
Senior Physiotherapist
Lauren always says, “the profession chose me”. She graduated in 2016 with a BSc. (Hons) Physiotherapy from Wits University in 2016. Lauren is an energetic, selfless and ambitious person who loves sport and the complexity of the human body. More than anything she loves how physio combines her love for art and science in such an intricate way.
Lauren completed her community service at Zola Clinic, Soweto in 2017. She definitely enjoyed the challenge and believes in the saying: “get comfortable being uncomfortable”, as it allows one to broaden their horizon and help shape a well rounded individual with the ability to think outside of the box we so often confine ourselves to. Zola really helped her acquire a set of skills that she will treasure forever, working in community truly redefined the term “think out of the box” for her and for that she always be grateful!
Lauren moved to private practice in January 2018 and went on to do a post graduate course in Sports Physio (SPT) through SASP. She's also been very privileged to work at gymnastics, Varsity Sports as well as at Craven Week level with talented young men and women who hope to represent our country on the national stage some day.
Her experience (including the occasional hospital locum work) has definitely shaped Lauren's overall approach to therapy. Her aim is to always treat holistically and with a smile on her face. You matter- and simply put, although cliché: health is wealth! This gives large meaning to life, as health is considered the most valuable and precious gift for every individual. And Lauren hopes to always be that reminder.
