Move better. Feel better.
Live better.
Sebastian Walker is a Wits-trained physiotherapist treating sports, orthopaedic and musculoskeletal injuries — one-on-one, hands-on, and built around getting you back to what you love doing.
An athlete's
understanding of
coming back strong.
I graduated cum laude in BSc Physiotherapy from the University of the Witwatersrand, after earning a place on the Dean's Merit List in every year of study. I'm currently completing my community service year at Cecilia Makiwane Regional Hospital in East London.
I grew up in Johannesburg, and sport, movement and people have always been my passions. Swimming was a huge part of my life. I swam competitively throughout school, competing at national level and reaching the finals at Junior Nationals in several breaststroke events. It taught me the discipline and commitment that competitive sport demands, and it introduced me to physiotherapy. Being treated by physiotherapists throughout my swimming career set my path, and I knew from a young age that this was what I wanted to do.
Towards the end of school, I was offered the chance to swim and study in the United States, but it fell through because of COVID-19. It wasn't the path I'd imagined, but it led me to study physiotherapy here in South Africa, and I'm incredibly grateful for that today.
These days I train through running, CrossFit and hybrid training. I enjoy testing what my body is capable of, and I know first-hand the highs, frustrations and rewards of training and competing. I know what it feels like to train through something, to lose a season, and to want a straight answer about when you'll be back.
That's what I try to give every person on my table: a clear diagnosis, a plan you understand, and honest timelines. Whether you're returning to competitive sport, getting back into the gym, recovering from an injury or simply wanting to move with more confidence, helping you get back to what you love is what makes this work so rewarding.
Outside of physiotherapy and training, I love spending time with my wife, family and friends, getting outdoors, hiking and exploring new places. My Christian faith is an important part of my life. It shapes how I approach the people around me: with humility, compassion and a genuine desire to serve.
From January 2027, I'll be consulting from Physios in Touch in Rivonia, practising independently with the support of an established multidisciplinary team around me.
How a course of treatment works
- 01
Assessment
A thorough subjective and physical assessment, looking past where it hurts to what might be driving it.
- 02
Explanation
You leave the first session knowing what we think is going on, and roughly how long it'll take to settle.
- 03
Treatment
Hands-on manual therapy, dry needling and exercise, adjusted session to session as you respond.
- 04
Return
A graded programme back to sport, work or daily life — with the strength to keep it from happening again.
Trained across the full spectrum.
