Sports & Family Chiropractor - Bryanston
Meet Dr Kelsi Holz – Family & Sports Chiropractor Dr Kelsi Holz graduated summa cum laude with a Master’s Degree in Chiropractic from the University of Johannesburg in 2019. Her passion for sports chiropractic began during her student years, when she served as Chairperson of the Student Chiropractic Sports Council and Student Representative for Chirosport SA.
In 2019, Kelsi became the first University of Johannesburg student to receive the prestigious Federation Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport (FICS) Student Scholarship Award, earning her International Certification in Sports Chiropractic (ICSC). Her commitment to advancing the profession continues internationally as the immediate past Chairperson of the FICS Student Commission, and nationally as Vice-President of Chirosport SA.
With extensive clinical experience gained over the past eight years, working alongside experienced practitioners in busy practices across Johannesburg, Kelsi takes a patient-centred approach to care. She is passionate about helping people move better, stay active and feel their best, combining chiropractic treatment with practical lifestyle advice around exercise, recovery and nutrition. Whether treating an athlete working towards their next event or someone simply wanting to get back to doing what they love, she believes in supporting long-term function and overall wellbeing.
Outside the practice, Kelsi is happiest when she's moving. Having taken on triathlons, half-Ironman events, double-century cycle races and CrossFit competitions, she understands the demands of an active lifestyle and the importance of balancing training with recovery. When she's not chasing her next challenge, you'll likely find her outdoors, exploring nature or indulging her slightly obsessive passion for birdwatching.

Applying a controlled, sudden force to a specific joint segment to improve the movement and function of the joint, reduce pain and promote healing. Often used to treat back pain, neck pain, disc injuries and other musculoskeletal conditions. The process may involve a quick popping sound, which happens when gases are released from the joint.

A highly effective therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, solid needles into specific "trigger points" within muscle tissue to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and reduce muscle tightness. The term "dry" refers to the use of a needle without any medication or injectables. This technique aims to release tight knots or muscle spasms and improve overall muscular function.

Focus on muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia. They aim to relieve pain, reduce tension and improve movement. Techniques used include massage, trigger point therapy (pressure applied to muscle knots), myofascial release (therapy targeting fascia around tight muscle areas), active release (releasing tension through movement) and ischaemic compression (depriving an area of dysfunction of blood flow for a short period of time which then flushes fresh blood through the area upon release of pressure from the area)

Utilizing various taping materials (kinesiology tape, dynamic tape, rigid and elastic tape) to support muscles, joints and ligaments while still allowing for movement and flexibility. Main uses include support and stability, pain relief, swelling reduction and proprioceptive input. Most commonly used for sprains, strains, joint instability, particularly in injury and athletes.

Is a chiropractic technique used primarily to treat lower back pain, especially involving conditions like herniated disc's and spinal stenosis. It involves using a special chiropractic table that allows the chiropractor to gently stretch and "distract" (or pull apart) the spine while applying a controlled flexion motion. It is a non-invasive treatment that is a gentler alternative to more aggressive interventions.
