Karen Ferreira graduated with BSc Hons Physiotherapy (WITS) in 1995 and thereafter plied her trade in private practice for almost two decades, servicing the community of Benoni. Additionally in 1998, she completed the Post Graduate Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy Course (OMT1) and has served a Lecturer and Examiner on the said course since then.

Early 2000s, Karen served as the Chairperson of the South Gauteng OMPTG, a Special Interest Group of The South African Society of Physiotherapy. She has attended the McKenzie Modules for Lumbar Spine, Cervical Spine and Thoracic Spine amongst numerous other International courses over the years.

Karen is an avid sportswoman and worked as the Easterns Cricket Union physiotherapist for a number of years prior to their merge with the Titans in Pretoria. Once again within the sport realm, Karen worked closely with the Coach and Human Movement Specialist at the Golf Academy at Serengeti treating Elite Golfers (top Amateurs and Pros on the Sunshine Tour) to improve biomechanics to optimise the golfers’ swing techniques.

As a keen player of tennis, golf and once-upon-time hockey, Karen understands the inner workings of the sportsperson’s mind and the demands their sport places on their bodies. This, her passion for physiotherapy and her patients, has resulted in the Karen Ferreira Physiotherapy practice in Benoni.
