Rado is a master at his practice. I have been struggling with sciatica for years. His targeted treatments and advice helped me to re-activate the lower back muscles and straighten my spine. But note, this is a two-way street, he cannot do the necessary daily strengthening exercises for you. That's up to the individual, otherwise you'll need to visit him every week and wonder why his treatment is not lasting.

I am so grateful to have been referred to Kitanov! He has helped me so much with my pain, and I feel a real difference since starting treatment with him. His care, knowledge, and approach have made such a positive impact. If you are struggling with any sports injury or pain, I highly recommend booking with him—you won’t regret it!

I HAD two slipped discs,L4 and L5.I was referred to a Neurosurgeon, however, I decided to Give Physio a try first. I am so happy that i did! If you are looking for an amazing Physio, this is it! I was only able to hobble in to Rado's practice, the first time we met. It took a number of sessions but Rado's perseverance and his unmatched expertise have fully sorted my back out. I really don't know how to thank you both enough. At times surgery seemed like the only option but Rados's after hours calls checking up on me and even the ad hoc sessions on weekends kept me going. Rado and Viktoria are two of the most amazing people I have ever met, their kindness and compassion knows no bounds. From a pain-free-me, THANK YOU!!!

I have been struggling with tension headaches almost all my adult life. On my first visit to Rado Kitanov at the end of August, he diagnosed exactly what was causing my headaches in a very short time and our journey with physio began. Rado is wonderful at explaining what he is doing and why. He and Viktoria are both very warm, caring and compassionate people and they make a fantastic team.
Although my headaches and back problems have not completely gone, there has been significant improvement. I trust Rado completely with all his knowledge, experience and professionalism and value how caring he is in his treatments. I know we still have a way to go, but I really feel I am on the right track…..at last! I only wish I had discovered Rado earlier on in my life!
Thank you to you both!

Dr Rado & Viktoria helped me a lot with my ankle issues due to an injury I got during a run! I’d recommended highly for any physio issues you may be experiencing! Thanks guys!

Rado and Viktoria Kitavov are the very competent team that run the Greenside Physio practice. My hip joint was excruciatingly painful to such an extent that for months on end I could hardly walk. Rado diagnosed the problem and has gently treated the hip and realigned my pelvis. With Rado’s gentle treatment I am as good as new. I highly recommend this practice.

Rado and Viktoria - The Power team who seemingly can fix any joint pain or problem!
We’ve been fortunate as a family to visit this establishment since 2019.
My wife had a ”frozen shoulder” requiring surgery, and as a last resort was referred to Rado. Rado expertly helped her back to full range of control of her arm, and all pain was relieved. Best of all: No operation required and they solved other complications as well to make the rest of her life a joy!
Their practice specialises in Scoliosis and prevention of scoliosis. Viktoria helped different members of our family back to health with her calm, gentle and positive spirit.
When a knee injury threatened to require surgery, I knew I could call on Rado and Victoria. He did not disappoint.
Thank you Rado and Viktoria - You’re the best in this industry

I came to Greenside Physio with injuries associated with prolonged hours of work at the laptop. After seeing a number of doctors and physiotherapists, I saw Rado, who was the first person who diagnosed the problems correctly. I have experienced Rado as meticulous in his work, and knowledgeable in his field. It is with complete confidence that I would recommend this practice. Rado and Victoria are both excellent practitioners, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

For many years I have been struggling with such bad lower back problems and consistent, daily headaches. Since I have started my treatment with Greenside Physio, my back has improved significantly and I haven't had a headache for the past two months. I really can't recommend more highly if you want things done properly with the utmost care and respect! Thank you Rado and Viktoria, you really are magic workers :)

I was struggling for months with lower back pain and sciatica as well. Nothing really helped, mostly on painkillers......until I was recommended to Dr Rado Kitanov, Greenside Psysio. Amazing hands, relieved even from the first few procedures. Thank you so much! God bless you Rado!

I started seeing Rado and Victoria in 2015. For the first time in my life, after having tried so many practitioners, I finally found a holistic system, and trusted physiotherapists to teach and treat me with, the Schroth method. I have a mild-to-moderate idiopathic Scoliosis, first diagnosed at 9, and I never quite knew how to manage my pain, nor my posture, until I met them and discovered Schroth. Between Rado’s treatments, and the specific corrective posturing and personal exercises (specific to my anatomical structure) taught to me by Victoria, I am certain I would not be coping as well as I am.
I continue to have good and bad days, but Rado and Victoria are always there for me and support me on my journey. I recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and supportive environment for physiotherapy treatment. I truly do not know where I would be nor what I would do without them.

Greenside Physio’s service and customer care is excellent. Viktoria and Rado have treated me with the utmost care and always made me feel comfortable.
I have scoliosis and additionally suffer with tension headaches and neck pain. Viktoria and Rado have taken great care and time to listen and explain each step of my treatment and the way forward.
They have assisted me with adjustments, electro- stimulation therapy, dry needling, strapping and Schroth exercises which is a non-surgical treatment of scoliosis.
My results are very impressive so far and I am truly grateful for the treatment I have received.
I highly recommend Greenside Physio.

Rado and Victoria have been so instrumental in my life from a young age, helping me as a professional ballet dancer with scoliosis. Using the schroth method, Victoria has helped me understand how to work and train with my scoliosis not only In my everyday life but in my professional life too! I m so grateful that Rado attends to all my injuries and helps me balance the strains and stresses that I continually have not only because of my scoliosis but the general stresses every professional dancer encounters. In the past I ve tried many methods which didn t really work on a constant basis before I found these two amazing people who seem to fix and solve all my problems - true magicians! My career would truly not be the same without them! Despite my scoliosis, I am one of the dancers who is lucky to not have many recurring injuries throughout my career, this is thanks largely to Rado and Victorias truly wondrous treatment!

After going to a GP in June 2019, had ultrasound and xrays done on my shoulders, referred to a specialist, received cortisone injections which brought little relief, surgery on the shoulder was recommended. I did some research and opted for the less invasive option of physio therapy and looked for a physio that was prepared to work with me. I had my first consult at Greenside Physio in September 2019 to treat the Frozen shoulder (aka Adhesive Capsulitis) a disorder that causes pain, stiffness, and loss of normal range of motion in the shoulder. Depending on the severity, Frozen shoulder can be extremely debilitating. Rado set clear expectations upfront in terms of the treatment as well as the expected duration. After approx 9 months of physio I am back to normal and continue to do the recommended exercises from Victoria. They are a great team that put the patient first and I would recommend this practice wholeheartedly.

I have suffered with tension headaches, scoliosis and discs that have shifted in my neck while pregnant . Rado and Victoria have assisted me greatly with pain as well as treating the problem. They are always willing to accommodate me even if it’s outside hours when I am in severe pain and they also embark on a rehabilitation program through exercise and Pilates which allows the patient to regain and build strength once again . They are also at medical aid rates. Best physio I have been to and so pleasant to visit !

I have been going to Viktoria and Rado for close on to 3 years now to treat my scoliosis. I feel a huge difference after every session. The exercises really help and there has finally been an improvement in my back after being at the hands of many specialists over the years. The methods used by Viktoria and Rado really work. When I have pain I make an appointment and get the right treatment. On top of this they do everything to make you feel comfortable and at home.

I was one step away from back surgery when I went to Greenside Physio. From living with debilitating pain every day, thinking that surgery was my only option, I'm now able to walk, sleep and live my life in comfort. It is a long road and you have to do the work - keep going for treatment, do your exercises etc - but I'm now at a point where I can manage this rather than suffer from it. Rado and Victoria are simply great; they are very encouraging and really take the time to understand and work with their patients to get the best results.

I have been an athlete and sports coach for most of my adult life and have sustained many different types of injuries. About 6 months ago, I had occasion to seek advice on a nagging knee injury which had bothered me for many years. I visited Rado & Victoria and Rado undertook a very thorough examination and prescribed a treatment program. His explanations were simplistically explained and the subsequent results were more than I could ever have hoped for. I recently had a nasty fall, and injured my ribcage, shoulder and again the knee. Again Rado examined the injuries and without having to undertake any x-rays, scans or sonars, he was able to make a decisive diagnosis and prescribed treatment. After only one session my pain and discomfort was greatly reduced thankfully. If my personal experiences are any measurement of good ethics and integrity, this amazing practice must carry my unequivocal support and they come highly recommended.

If you have scoliosis, I'd highly recommend visiting Greenside Physio. Victoria has indepth knowledge about scoliosis and the Schroth method and offers highly effective and practical treatment and exercise, which targets the core of the problem. She is passionate about her work and engages with patients so well. For years, I have visited so many specialists to seek help for the condition, but they were mostly ineffective and sometimes even adverse. Greenside Physio offered the solution that I needed. Thank you for the excellent service!

I have been going to Viktoria and Rado for the past 7 years.. I have Cerebral Palsy and Vicky's exercises help me keep fit as well as lesson the stiffness in my body, enabling me to keep strong and independent. They both take care of my back, neck and shoulders whenever they are stiff and sore, relieving headaches from muscle tension. Their expertise is one of a kind and they are the first people I go to to sort any problem out!

I have been suffering from debilitating headaches for many years. I have tried different specialists and used to take strong drugs to ease off my pain. Fortunately I came across Rado. He identified my problem and after only few sessions I was pain free for a month. I have sent my family and friends to him and will strongly recommend him to everyone.

"I've been playing football since I was 6 years old. In 2010 I went to Serbia to pursue a career in football and it was at this period in time where I started experiencing pain in my lower back which gradually developed down my glutes and hamstring to the knee. Eventually I developed extensive pain inhibiting my movement and running abilities. I was taking pain killers that only provided temporary relief.

 

I was sent for x-rays and the scans showed I had a herniated disc at level L4-L5 ( between 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae). I also had a bulging disc between 5th lumbar and 1st sacral. I was recommended surgery by a nuerosurgeon and was advised to give up sport.

 

After I returned to South Africa I was advised to go to Rado Kitanov, a physiotherapist at Greenside Clinic. I started treatment with him 12TH August 2013. The treatment included spinal manipulation, dry needling, remedial massage, electro therapy and core strengthening.

 

I gradually returned to football training after a year and for the last year I have been training pain free.
On the most recently taken x ray my discs have fully recovered( the inter vertebrae discs spaces are now normal).

 

I really appreciate what Rado has done for me. I'm currently studying at Witwatersrand University where I also play varsity football. I'm grateful for the lifestyle I am now able to live.

I had been from one specialist to another and from one physio to another for my severe back spasms, and Rado was the best! With Victoria I then started Pilates and that has helped me get stronger with core muscles and have had very few issues since.

 

Gregory McIntyre

Both Rado and Victoria are great Physio’s. Rado helped repair large amounts of nerve damage in my shoulder and strengthen it. Victoria has been helping me with core strengthening Pilates classes which definitely works to strengthen muscles around old injuries that have given me issues for many years. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know.

I’ve been to many physio’s in my lifetime time, but none as good as Greenside physio. Here at Greenside physio, Rado and Viktoria’s skills are amazing. They are able to see your problem within seconds and provide the necessary treatment immediately. I’ve only been for 3 sessions and the difference that I see and feel is incredible. I would highly recommend Greenside Physio.

Rado is the best physio I have been to. He treats the injury and explains the rehabilitation process in a way that you can understand. Rado not only fixes the current pain, but also ensures that you don't experience problems later in life. I will recommend him to anyone of my friends and family.

Every time I walk out of Greenside Physio, the pain and tension in my back and neck is either gone or massively reduced. Viktoria is, and will remain, my first port of call for any scoliosis related treatment. I am thrilled to have found a physio who actually has intimate knowledge of scoliosis. Thank you for the dedicated, highly skilled and professional service!

I highly recommend this physio practice. The physiotherapist impressed me with his expertise. This is the first place I have been offered a physio treatment that includes spinal manipulation. I am very happy with the results of my therapy.

"I suffer from scoliosis and throughout my life I have tried everything to treat this problem, from doing different kinds of exercises to physiotherapist sessions.Finally I came across the Schroth exercises with Viktoria Kitanova, and for the first time I really feel these exercises help. These exercises treat the problem and not the symptoms, and as a result I have experienced a great relief in pain."

"Painful and frustrating experiences with countless professionals led to a final realisation that nobody could effectively explain or treat the most excruciating pain I suffered daily.With the pain came the anxiety that I would eventually be unable to walk and may even require a wheelchair in the near future.I was heartbroken. My search for cure however didn't end. On the internet I found SCOLIOCARE while I was searching for someone who could really diagnose and treat my severe back pain. In a moment of desperation and little hope I made an appointment and found Viktoria.Who finally explained that my pain was due to Scoliosis;Lumbar and Thoracic, and that with the SCHROTH METHOD she would be able to ease the pain and give me back my mobility. My initial scepticism was soon turned to hope as week after week she gently coaxed my muscles to become stronger and improved my posture and helped me regain my self-esteem. Viktoria's experience in this method and her positive attitude is rarely found in people dealing with the debilitating effects of scoliosis. There will thankfully be no need for the cortisone injections or that dreadful morphine pump. Viktoria has really improved the quality of my life."

"I have been a patient of the Greenside Clinic since 2013. I am nearly 71 years old now and I used to struggle with hip and shoulder pain because of Scoliosis.Viktoria started to treat my scoliosis in March 2014. When I started the process I could not have imagined how much it would help me. My condition has dramatically improved. Although Viktoria explained that the treatment could not reverse my scoliosis , especially at my age, I have experienced dramatic improvements. I no longer have pain because of my scoliosis and I am very happy because I have actually improved my posture after regular treatments. The treatment has even had the effect of reducing the curvature of my spine to a small degree.
Viktoria is extremely patient and even more encouraging. I really appreciate her positive attitude and commitment to help and motivate me to prevent my condition from deteriorating.She is very dedicated and caring. I will continue to work regularly with Viktoria so that I can maintain and improve my condition. I would recommend the scoliosis treatment that Viktoria provides to anyone who has the condition. I would like many people that may be affected by scoliosis to know how much the treatment has helped me and how much stronger and more confident I feel. "
