Our Practioners: Dr Francois Bothma and Charmaine Jacobs

Dr François Bothma successfully completed training with the UK Academy of BSR. He excelled in all aspects of training, both academic and practical. His in-depth understanding of the human body, physiology, pain and mental wellness contributed to him being a natural leader in his group.
Clients frequently comments on his calmness and “healing hands.” However, he is quick to point out that he only assists the body to return to its own optimum state of health.
