Jacqui recently moved down from Pretoria where she was the practice owner and director of McCord-Weideman Physiotherapy. Jacqui comes with many many years of Sport Physiotherapy experience and has worked for various professional sports teams. She also had the opportunity to work as one of the physios for Team South Africa at the Beijing Olympics. She currently still lectures and presents courses in Sports Injuries and Taping.
