Work Experience:
Michelle graduated with a B.SC in Physiotherapy from the University of Cape Town in 2000.
She has worked in South Africa and the United Kingdom in the private sector covering a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. She has a special interest in track and field injuries especially sprinting, jumping, and long-distance running but enjoys managing all types of musculoskeletal conditions.
She believes that the body functions as a unit and that pain and injury are multidimensional, affecting many parts of the kinetic chain and other related areas. Her focus is on assessing the entire body to correct imbalances in weakness, tightness, and restrictions. She utilizes a combination of hands-on musculoskeletal techniques with strengthening and rebalancing exercises as well as Pilates and mobility to manage her client's conditions Through her additional training as an Integrative Health Practitioner, she has a passion for dealing with clients holistically, understanding that often injury and pain are related to other stressors such as disturbances in sleep patterns, overtraining, emotional stress, or dietary stress which all contribute to chronic overall body burden and heighten the inflammatory response in the body. She is passionate about helping clients rebalance their bodies to optimize recovery and return to their highest level of health and function.
Michelle Berowsky
The first session was one of the most crucial sessions. She eagerly listened to my trauma and ensured that I got into the details of the injury. She also recommended seeing a well-known orthopedic before starting starting with any treatment.
Shereen makes sure to understand your lifestyle and goals before setting any sort of plan.
In my case, she focused on improving my range of motion and addressing my pain through effective needling techniques. The needing technique not only did the pain decrease significantly, but I also saw a noticeable improvement in my mobility.
Later on, she guided me with targeted exercises to rebuild the muscles I had lost due to the injury, helping me regain strength and confidence.
The progress I have made with her help has been incredible. I truly think she is delightful to work with, and it is always worth seeing her if you are dealing with any sort of injury.
She has brilliant attention to detail and knowledge to handle all kinds of injuries.
10/10 Highly recommended.
Best wishes to the Physiofit Team.
Before coming to Shereen I was lost in pain for more than 2 years! Shes very knowledgeable, patient and truly takes the time to explain the case and what’s happening to your body. I had to see Dr Mika as well and he's just amazing.
Both helped and supported my very long healing journey and getting to the end its line, I’m blessed to come across them as I have seen lot of other physiotherapists before and none have gave the amount of relief and comfort Shereen and Dr Mika provided.
Highly recommend! You will truly feel the difference after the first visit
After suffering from persistent headaches for months, I was beginning to lose hope of finding relief. However, after just a few sessions with Shereen, my headaches are no longer occurring and have been cured.
Thank you so much!
I have been lifting weight during that time of therapy and still do, i didn’t have lot of restrictions from any exercises, Dr Shereen made me continue fitness life as normal and improved my lower back pain.
