Sports Injury, TMJ and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
The branch is well suited to active patients who want to return to sport or training, as well as people managing recurring pain linked to work, daily movement or long-standing musculoskeletal concerns.
Therapy may include assessment, manual physio, rehabilitation exercises, dry needling, fascial manipulation, strapping, movement retraining and personalised recovery guidance, depending on your condition.
The team works with patients of different ages and activity levels, so each treatment plan is shaped around your symptoms, movement limitations, goals and recovery needs, with the aim of helping you move better, build confidence about physical strength and return to daily activity, work or sport.
Our physiotherapists also assist patients with seasonal, health-related physiotherapy (bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma etc).

Is Fiona Lamberti still practising at Woodmead?
Yes. Fiona founded Lamberti Physiotherapy in 2004 from this location and still treats patients at the Woodmead branch.
She has a special interest in sports injuries, orthopaedic conditions, headaches, TMJ pain and pelvic girdle dysfunction. Fiona assesses and treats conditions using the Integrated Systems Model.
The Integrated Systems Model (ISM) is a global evidence-informed clinical reasoning framework developed by Canadian physiotherapists Diane Lee and Linda-Joy Lee. It treats the human body as an interconnected whole, using targeted assessments to find the root cause (the “driver”) of physical pain or dysfunction.
Who Benefits from ISM?
This model is particularly effective for individuals with complex, recurring, or persistent pain (such as chronic low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, or incontinence) who haven’t found relief by treating only a single isolated area.
Fiona also plays an educational role in the wider South African physio community.
How long is a physiotherapy session at Woodmead?
Forty-five minutes. We chose that length deliberately so your physio has time to assess properly, treat hands-on, and walk you through what’s going on and what to do at home. For more on how the practice works and our approach to care, see our About Lamberti Physiotherapy page.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book at Woodmead?
No. Physiotherapists are first-line practitioners in South Africa, so you can book directly with us. Some medical aids plans require a referral from a GP, so please check at least 24 hours before you head to your appointment. Both Sports Injury Benefit patients and Spinal Conservative Care Programme patients from Discovery require referral and activation from their GP or specialist.
If you do have a recent referral or surgeon’s notes, bring them along.

Our Woodmead practice is part of a multi-disciplinary centre that includes:
- Paediatric Neurodevelopmental physiotherapy

Can Woodmead help with TMJ (jaw) pain or headaches?
Yes. Fiona specialises in TMJ dysfunction and cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches. Many patients don’t realise that jaw pain, teeth clenching and headaches are often linked to neck tension and treatable with hands-on physio.
How do I get to Allhart Office Park?
We’re at 152 Western Service Road, on the corner of Woodlands Drive.
Allhart Office Park is easily accessible from the M1 highway. Take the Woodmead off-ramp and travel north until the traffic lights with Woodmead Drive, where you turn left and first left. The office park is on your right. Plenty of parking is available on-site.
Are children and teenagers treated at Lamberti Physiotherapy Woodmead?
Yes. We see school-age sports injuries (hockey, rugby, netball), growing-pain complaints like Osgood-Schlatter’s, Sever’s disease, and back and neck issues from desks and heavy school bags.
Parents are welcome in the treatment room with younger children.
Do you offer dry needling at Woodmead?
Yes. Fiona and the Woodmead team are trained in dry needling (Levels 1 and 2) and use it where it fits the patient and the presentation, typically for trigger points, persistent muscle tightness, headaches and certain sports injuries. We’ll always explain why we’re recommending it and get consent before we use it.
Will I get home exercises after my session?
Yes. Hands-on treatment in the rooms is half the work; the other half is what you do between sessions. You’ll leave with a clear set of exercises, often emailed or in a video link, so you don’t have to remember the detail.
Do you claim directly from my medical aid?
Yes. We charge medical aid rates and submit claims directly on your behalf. If your medical aid does not cover physiotherapy, or if you are out of funds, then you will need to settle the outstanding amount after your session. Please bring your medical aid card to your first visit so we can capture your details.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Your medical aid card (if applicable), a towel, and a pair of shorts if your condition involves the lower back and lower limbs, or a strappy top for women if the condition involves the upper back, shoulder or neck. If you have recent X-rays, MRI scans, or surgeon’s reports relating to what we’re seeing you for, please bring those too.
Which details do we need for your first session?
Once you’ve made a booking, you’ll receive an SMS before your appointment with a link to complete your personal and consent details online. If you’d like a sense of what to expect, read our patient testimonials.
