Caryn is the best Physio I’ve ever had treat me.  She’s very hands on (rather than slapping a tens machine on you and walking away), dedicates the whole appointment time to the person she’s with (rather than juggling two people at once), and her treatments are very effective.  She is also really great at suggesting other modalities or treatments that might help you;  she doesn’t believe she has all the answers.  All these characteristics are in contrast to other physios I’ve seen in the past, and there have been quite a few.

 

I’ve been going to Caryn for chronic back pain for 18 months now and over that time I have improved very significantly under her treatment.  I could hardly get onto the couch when I first went to see her, and now that is no trouble.  I’m moving much more freely.  She has also referred me to another Physio for more specialist treatment and that has been very significant for me.  She works in with other professionals such as exercise physiologists and medical professionals, seeing their contributions to a persons health and wellbeing in a wholistic way.

 

I suspect Caryn’s Physio education in South Africa was somehow more comprehensive or more extensive than the education physios get in Australia.  And we get to benefit from that!  I am going to keep seeing her for as long as I need.  I have referred friends to Caryn, and they’ve been very pleased with their treatments too.  

 

I thoroughly recommend Caryn to you without reservation.

How good must you be for your client to travel from South Africa to Australia for physio?

That’s my physiotherapist! Caryn Von Flintel. I was in dire distress and the trip over to Aussie just about killed me with discomfort. I contacted Caryn and she brought her travelling bed and came to find me about an hour out of Brisbane and gave me thorough treatment for my very bad back and leg. I love her.

Experience her wonderful healing hands and you’ll never be sorry. She is amazing and you’ll never regret calling her for a consultation.

Caryn  Van Fintals ability and professionalism as a Physio therapist according to our experience. Caryn treated my husband and myself over the period from 2016 to 2021.

 

My husband suffers from chronic muscle pain which is enhanced by prescription statins. He is a solid man and it is not easy to get through to the muscle knots and spasms. Of the various physios we tried, Caryn was the only one able to point out the problems , manipulate the muscles and with her dry needling skills, provide immense relief for my husband.

 

I believed I had a shoulder issue, but as Caryn correctly diagnosed, my problem was coming from the neck and spreading downward. Without this being correctly diagnosed, we would have been treating the wrong area in total. The dry needling she performed helped a great deal. Her overall approach , knowledge , dry needling skills as well as her interest in her patients and their recovery are phenomenal.

 

We were very sorry to see her leave South Africa but wish her all the best in her new home country Australia.

I have only ever had excellent treatment and advice from Caryn Von Fintel. She is an amazing, gifted physiotherapist and friend who goes above and beyond for each of her patients, especially, the more vulnerable elderly and babies/toddlers.

 

Whilst her practice was still here in Amanzimtoti, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, I had regular sessions for treatment of chronic tennis elbow and golfer's elbow as well as intense treatment for chronic headaches, neck and upper back pain. Caryn is very thorough, straightforward and explains procedures and treatments in laymen's terms. She even managed to get me over my fear of acupuncture!

 

She regularly does courses to better her skills and knowledge.

She is extremely patient, caring and such a 'people-person'. She really takes the time to get to know you personally. This makes her more than just a physiotherapist - she is an angel in disguise. She has taken fantastic care of not only myself, but my husband, daughter and mother too.

 

I was a patient with her practice from 2011 up until she emigrated to Australia. Since then, I have not found a physiotherapist who meets up to the incredible work Caryn does! You have gained a gem!

Juanita Whiley

I have been a patient of Caryn Von Fintel for about 6 years while she had her own practise in South Africa. She treated me for severe neck and shoulder issues and was absolutely just amazing. Not only as a physio and how professional she is but also as a caring person who always went out of the way to help me. In some cases even after hours.

 

In all honesty after she left South Africa i have been struggling to find a replacement for her. She is defnitaly a big assist to Australia as a physio and i have no doubt that she will be loved and very successful with her new practise in Australia.

 

I wish her all the best. We in South Africa have lost one of the best physios.

Our family were devastated when our physiotherapist, Caryn Von Fintel emigrated from South Africa to Australia. We have not been able to replace her, we’ve tried!  Far too many physiotherapists just rub your problem areas softly whereas Caryn gets down to the root of the problem and gives a deep muscular massage accompanied by a heat machine, acupuncture needles.  You actually feel like you have had a full workout. 

 

We certainly miss Caryn!

Carol

Caryn is a very caring and knowledgeable physiotherapist. She is a kind compassionate lady who always does her best for her clients.

The client always comes first, and she does all she can to make them

feel comfortable and pain free.

We went to Caryn for many years.

Keith and Fiona Brooking

Caryn has always gone above and beyond for her patients. Not only is she excellent at her job, she is compassionate and always puts her client’s needs first. She will always give you the best advice and treatment, she will listen to your concerns and you can be rest assured that she will always do what’s best for you.

 

I had an injury after hours and Caryn met me at her practise, assisted me and was happy to do so, I don’t know a lot of people that will always be ready and available to help her patients the

way she does.

 

She left a big hole in South Africa when she left, she was the best in our town and I wish her success on her new journey!

 Lauren Traill

I started seeing Caryn in 2011 when I started running, up until 2022 when she emigrated.

 

Caryn was an excellent physiotherapist who was always very professional, attentive, careful, caring and thoughtful.

 

Caryn always went the extra mile, and genuinely cares for her patients.

 

You will not find a better physiotherapist.

After a physiotherapy session with Caryn you will walk out feeling not only a lot better but more energized, uplifted and optimistic about your recovery/goal. Caryn is an experienced professional in physiotherapy with a wealth of knowledge combined with a genuine interest in you and a passion for problem solving. Caryn has an energy about her that is motivating, she goes above and beyond for her patients. I know she gets more excited than her patient when she sees them achieve their goals no matter how big or small.

 

In a treatment with Caryn you will feel comfortable, she will ask questions, assess you, work her healing magic, educate, empower you with exercises and give you a plan of action on how you both as a team are going to achieve your goal. High patient care is her top priority. I cannot recommend Caryn enough as I truly believe she is one of the best in the business.
