About Me
I am a dedicated physiotherapist with a diverse professional background and a passion for lifelong learning and innovation in healthcare.
My career began as a Community Service Physiotherapist at Middelburg District Hospital, where I gained invaluable experience in delivering comprehensive care and tailoring treatment plans to meet individual needs. I actively participated in community outreach programs, strengthening my problem-solving skills and adaptability in dynamic environments.
Following my community service, I founded Lenie Jacobs Physiotherapist, a thriving private practice that I successfully ran for over 12 years. During this time, I cultivated a broad clinical skill set with a special interest in women's health, while also treating hospital-based patients. As a business owner, I managed all aspects of the practice, from financial administration and medical aid claims to marketing and patient engagement.
I later broadened my clinical experience as a Locum Physiotherapist at Cindy Viljoen Physiotherapists, where I treated a diverse patient population and balanced professional responsibilities with personal commitments.
Since 2021, I have been employed by Physiopedia Plus, where I initially joined the Media Team. In this role, I was responsible for editing instructor-led course videos, ensuring that videos met the high standards of clarity, engagement, and educational value that Physiopedia Plus is known for.
As my role evolved, I became part of the Social Media Team, where I am responsible for creating Reels and Shorts across our digital platforms. This work allows me to combine my clinical insight with visually engaging content for a global audience.
Working with Physiopedia Plus has significantly broadened my professional perspective. Being part of a dynamic, international team committed to excellence in physiotherapy education is both inspiring and deeply rewarding.
