About Anna Malan.
Anna has been in private practice since 2015, during which time she experienced great fulfillment in helping people to move and function better. She has since opened her own practice with the hope to help individuals know themselves, know their bodies and find true functional freedom.
Anna has always had a keen love for sport, specifically hockey, and outdoor activities. She competed in various sports at school and played competitive hockey at club, university and provincial level between 2008 - 2017. She studied Sport Science and Biokinetics at Stellenbosch University, and subsequently completed her internship at the Stellenbosch Biokinetics Centre in 2014.
Anna has a special interest in treatment of long-standing injuries and movement disorders. She is fascinated by the body, how it was designed and the manner in which it moves. She finds inspiration in seeing how exercise can positively influence all aspects of life: physically, emotionally and spiritually.
