Dr. Kerusha Pillay

Dr. Kerusha Pillay is a Senior Physiotherapist at Mediclinic with 14 years of clinical experience. She qualified from the University of the Western Cape in 2009 and holds certification in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT). Her practice combines hands-on manual therapy techniques—including soft tissue therapy, trigger point work, and Maitland mobilisations—with a patient-centred approach to support lasting recovery.

Dr. Pillay treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine and joints, including cervical and lumbar disc problems, postural dysfunction, and mechanical muscle injuries. She also specializes in foot and ankle conditions such as plantar fasciitis and tarsal pain. In recent years, she has expanded her expertise into pelvic health rehabilitation, completing advanced certifications in pelvic floor therapy and chronic pelvic pain management. This allows her to address bladder and bowel dysfunction, pelvic floor weakness, and women's health issues including pre- and postnatal care, diastasis recti, and menopausal symptom management.

Dr. Pillay is fluent in English, Afrikaans, and conversational Arabic. She is also trained in dry needling, Mulligan mobilisations, and Pilates-based exercise therapy. Her evidence-based, tailored approach makes her well suited to patients seeking both acute injury recovery and long-term functional improvement.
