area of expertise
The csm group
The CSM group also provides a concussion management programme for clients who participate in any contact or collision sport. This programme includes baseline testing as well as the diagnosis and appropriate management of these injuries in children, adolescents, and adults. Where appropriate, we liaise with the schools and provide a framework for these learners to return to full academic life before they commence their sport.
Cape Sports Medicine is a partnership between Drs Jason Suter, Jeroen Swart, Leigh Gordon, Sid Allie and Adrian Rotunno.
In addition to the founding partners, this practice is staffed by Michael Kiessig, Raaghib Fredericks, Lynelle Hoeks and Caroline D’Alton, The multi-disciplinary SSISA team includes sports radiologists, physiotherapists, biokineticists, podiatrists, dietitians, and psychologists. SSISA also provides chronic disease rehabilitation programmes (especially cardiac rehab), for which CSM provides medical support.
We work together with professionals in other allied disciplines to facilitate a multi-disciplinary approach for the optimal non-operative management of injuries. However, where injuries may require surgical intervention, we refer rapidly to our surgical colleagues to optimise recovery and rehabilitation time.
