I was referred to function wise Occupational Therapists for rehabilitation following a brain surgery. Apart from finding the discipline fascinating, my wife and I found the practice and therapist professional, open, approachable, friendly and effective. Scheduling of sessions was easy and effective. I will not hesitate to refer any client to them.

Firstly, I would just like to thank Momentum for everything that they did for me over the past five years. I sincerely aprecciate it. Secondly, if it weren’t for Takkie from FunctionWise, this integration might not have been so successful. She literally stood by and assisted me every step of the way since seeing her in December 2017. She was a very professional and warm person. I really thought I wouldn’t go back to work, but with Takkie’s coaching, understanding and care, I am back at work, and functioning like before. So I would just like to give a big thank you to Takkie for everything she did.

As an Occupational Medicine and General Practitioner I have been working with Takkie Pistorius since 2006.

We have been working together in Return to Work Case Management processes for Ford Motor Company, SA Mint, Parmalat and others.

I have come to know her as a very professional Occupational Therapist not only being able to rehabilitate cases to full function but also to assist in difficult work ability assessment cases. She assists the Employee/Patient with an accurate assessment and if necessary work place assessment, and then assist the Employer/Doctor/Insurer with an appropriate useful report in good turnaround time, without being biased. This report can then be used for either disability or reasonable accommodation purposes.

I can recommend Takkie Pistorius for Functional Capacity Assessments, Case Management and Rehabilitation without reservation.

I have known Takkie for 16 years during which time she has offered assessment services to various mutual clients. She is highly skilled in her field of expertise and has a passion for helping clients identifying and addressing obstacles in the journey of reaching optimal recovery and health. She approaches each referral professionally and with enthusiasm, providing goal-directed and detailed assessments and recommendations to truly contribute to the individual’s wellbeing with a focus on returning to gainful employment. She values ongoing communication and team discussions between parties to ensure an optimal team approach. I will not hesitate to recommend Takkie to any client or friend.

My professional experience of Takkie Pistoruis over the past fifteen years is very positive.

She assisted me in her friendly and kind manner very successfully with functional capacity assessments, alternative accommodation end reintroduction of employees after incapacitating events.

I find her reporting to be precise, structured and according to her mandate with an excellent turnaround time from appointment to report.

Takkie is also able to propose alternative possibilities and solutions that I have not even considered.

Professionalism, kindness, compassion, and competency is what this exceptional establishment is all about. This is my first time under the guidance of an occupational Therapist and I have nothing but accolades for the entire staff.

Staff is wonderful and friendly. They get to know the clients and make you feel comfortable.

I would like to give the staff and Takkie Pistorius a great recommendation. The level of compassion and encouragement that I receive has kept me going forward on my road to recovery I have had the pleasure to be under the care of exceptional therapists.

I found the staff to be straight forward and professional.  Time is not wasted here. I was shown exercises to do at home, as well as some brief ways to posture myself in every day life to help.

I have been working with Takkie Pistorius for five years.  In this time, she has helped countless patients with improving their hand function.  This includes patients with minor problems like post-operative swelling and tenderness to severe injuries and even amputations.

Takkie is highly skilled in the expert field of hand therapy.  She is constantly updating herself on new treatment options and modalities.  She has more than fifteen years of experience in hand therapy and numerous hand surgeons and rheumatologists refer their patients to her.  She is also involved in the training of pre-graduate occupational therapists.

Takkie also has a warm, caring and compassionate personality.  She is able to give patients the necessary and sometimes challenging, encouragement in an understanding and sensitive way.  Her experience and dedication has helped many of my patients to reach full hand function even after devastating injuries.

As Human Resource professional I am pleased to express my satisfaction with the standard of service I receive from Takkie Pistorius Occupational Therapists, in evaluating staff members when questions arise about the medical capacity of the staff member in a work context.  The Functional Capacity Evaluation reports I receive from Takkie, has always been comprehensive with logic and reasonable recommendations, based on her professional opinion.  Takkie’s evaluations have always been objective, based on the medical evidence and she does comparisons between level of functioning and competencies the employee requires to perform the tasks the employee has been appointed for.

My word of thanks for all the years of Professional services that you have provided to all the patients that I have referred to your practise. Your accurate reports always assisted us greatly in the rehabilitation of employees or in the correct treatment, to enable the employee to function again in full capacity.

I would really recommend your service to any company that would want the best for their employees.

Your practises is of high standard, please keep on providing this essential services as a Professional Occupational Therapist.

I was first referred to FunctionWise in July 2019, this is after I suffered Ischemic Stroke, I must say I was assisted professionally well to regain my life back, my self-esteem was reinstated, I was helped to face and deal with any difficulty that was brought by the condition I was facing, I got healed, mentally and emotionally. They are very professional, they care and understand their patients, I am now well equipped with information on how not to let conditions, situations, bad thoughts disturb my daily living” – Thembi Madonsela, Life Wilgers Hospital.

I had no idea what occupational therapy meant. I had a botched lung operation which left me incapacitated for over 24 months. The insurer paying my salary required therapy to determine my ability to return to work. Functionwise gave me exercises to improve my cognitive abilities. The staff members were highly professional and sensitive to my particular needs and requirements. A definite yes for therapy by Functionwise. – Mr DWJ Smit, June 2020
