Mtech: Chiropractic.
Dr Smit is an enthusiastic chiropractor ready to take on her new position and add great value with the utmost devotion. Helping people is her passion and she believes that chiropractic is the most effective and holistic way to do so by using the human body to heal itself through neurological stimulation.
During her time as an intern, Dr Smit received the Clinical Excellence Award as well as the Best Business Plan Award which is a true testament to her dedication to her patients and the profession. She also completed her thesis which explored the neurophysiological effects of spinal mobilisation. This research ignited a particular interest in the neurophysiology of the human body which forms the foundation for the treatment modalities she uses today.
Dr Smit succeeds when treating patients of all ages but has a particular interest in children and sports injuries. She has completed paediatric coursework required within her Masters in Chiropractic, and is committed to the ongoing learning of child and infant chiropractic through additional training workshops.
During her time in Durban, Dr Smit had the pleasure of treating individuals at the Crusaders Rugby Club – working on the side-lines at rugby matches, assisting in all types of sport related injuries, and giving maintenance care to the players to help them participate to the best of their abilities.
Dr Smit is very passionate about instilling health through movement. ‘Movement is medicine’ is her favourite motto to practice by because she believes that the human body’s neuromuscular system possesses the most powerful and intricate mechanisms to thrive at its best and that chiropractic treatment is the most effective way to steer the body in the right direction in order to restore healthy movement patterns.
