I’m Jackie Mosselson
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist in Sandton
About Jackie Mosselson
Jackie Mosselson is a musculoskeletal physiotherapist based in Sandton with over 20 years of clinical experience treating a wide range of joint, muscle and nerve-related conditions. Her approach to physiotherapy is hands-on, evidence-based and focused on helping patients recover from injury, reduce pain and restore optimal movement.
Jackie holds a master’s degree in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT), an advanced postgraduate qualification in physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of complex musculoskeletal conditions. This specialised training allows her to diagnose and manage conditions affecting the spine, joints, muscles and nerves using a structured and evidence-based approach.
Her goal is not only to relieve symptoms, but to identify and address the underlying causes of pain or dysfunction so that patients can achieve long-term recovery and improved physical function.
A Patient-Centred Approach
Every patient’s condition, lifestyle and recovery goals are different. Jackie believes that successful physiotherapy depends on understanding each patient’s individual circumstances and designing treatment accordingly.
Her patient-centred approach focuses on:
-
Clear explanation of diagnosis and treatment
-
Individualised rehabilitation programmes
-
Education about injury prevention
-
Gradual return to activity
-
Long-term musculoskeletal health
The aim is to empower patients with the knowledge and tools needed to manage their recovery and maintain physical wellbeing.
Hands-on physiotherapy techniques commonly used include:
-
Myofascial release for muscles and connective tissue
-
Joint mobilisation to improve joint movement
-
Neural tissue mobilisation
-
Soft tissue techniques to relieve muscular tension
-
Movement retraining and corrective exercise
This integrated approach allows treatment to address both the symptoms and the underlying biomechanical causes of pain.
Hands-On Approach to Physiotherapy
Jackie’s treatment philosophy centres on careful clinical assessment and hands-on physiotherapy techniques. Each patient is evaluated individually to determine the specific mechanical and functional factors contributing to their symptoms.
Treatment may include a combination of manual therapy techniques, soft tissue work and rehabilitation exercises designed to restore normal movement and improve strength and stability.
Evidence-Based Treatment
All physiotherapy treatments provided by Jackie Mosselson follow evidence-based clinical principles. Evidence-based physiotherapy combines the best available research with clinical expertise and the individual needs of each patient.
This approach ensures that treatment is safe, effective and tailored to each person’s condition and recovery goals.
Patients are actively involved in their rehabilitation process through education, movement correction and guided exercises designed to support long-term recovery and injury prevention.
First-Contact Physiotherapy Care
Physiotherapists in South Africa are first-contact practitioners, which means patients can consult a physiotherapist directly without requiring a referral from a doctor.
This allows patients to seek prompt assessment and treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries or post-operative rehabilitation needs.
However, Jackie works closely with medical practitioners, dentists and other healthcare professionals when collaborative care is required to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient.
Supporting Active Lifestyles
Jackie is a keen mountaineer and maintains an active lifestyle herself. Through her own experience she understands the importance of maintaining strength, mobility and overall physical fitness for long-term health and wellbeing.
This personal understanding of movement and physical activity helps inform her approach to physiotherapy. She works with patients not only to recover from injury but also to improve strength, resilience and movement confidence.
Whether a patient’s goal is returning to sport, managing a chronic condition or simply moving comfortably in daily life, treatment is tailored to support sustainable recovery.
