Assess. Treat.
Perform.
Injuries are not a question of if — they're a question of when. Robin JJ Williams brings a decade of professional rugby physiotherapy experience to Ballito, treating athletes and everyday people through evidence-based assessment, hands-on treatment and injury prevention.
No referral needed. Open to all ages and fitness levels — from weekend warriors to competitive athletes.
Not just physio.
Sport-specific physio.
Sports physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physiotherapy built around what physical performance actually demands of the body — how muscles, joints, tendons and the nervous system respond under load, stress and repeated movement. It goes beyond treating an injury after it happens: the goal is diagnosing it accurately, treating it properly, and building the resilience to stop it recurring.
At Maddog, that means working with a physiotherapist who has spent a decade doing exactly this at the highest level of professional sport — not a generalist clinic offering physio as one of many services.
Assess. Treat. Perform.
Sports physiotherapy focuses on the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of sports and exercise-related injuries. Whether you're a professional athlete or someone who moved wrong unloading the car — pain and restricted movement affect quality of life. Robin JJ Williams is here to fix it.
Services include injury diagnosis, manual therapy, rehabilitation programmes, strengthening and conditioning, movement screening, injury prevention and return-to-sport testing. Maddog Performance Institute gym members get R100 off follow-up appointments.

Sports Physiotherapist · In-House Clinician
Robin JJ Williams is a sports physiotherapist with a decade of experience at the highest levels of professional sport. He has been Lead Physiotherapist at Zebre Parma in Italy's United Rugby Championship and Senior Team Physiotherapist at The Stormers, and spent several seasons with The Sharks in Durban — covering Super Rugby and the Currie Cup, including the 2021 Currie Cup Final, and leading the unbeaten U19 Currie Cup-winning side. He currently serves as a national junior team physiotherapist for SA Rugby, working with the SA U18 squad and the SA U20 team at the Junior World Championship in Georgia. Outside rugby, he has also been team physiotherapist for Chippa United football club.
Robin holds a BSc (Honours) in Physiotherapy from the University of Cape Town and a qualification in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) through the South African Society of Physiotherapy and UKZN. He is currently completing his MSc in Sports Physiotherapy and Exercise Science at UCT, researching conditioning strategies for concussion prevention in adolescent rugby players — specialist knowledge that's rare to find outside a professional sporting environment.
As our in-house sports physiotherapist at Maddog Performance Health & Wellness in Ballito, Robin gives the North Coast community direct access to elite-level sports physiotherapy right where they train. A keen powerlifter and gym-goer himself, he believes laughter is non-negotiable in how he works with patients, and consults in English and Afrikaans.
