 Scott van Niekerk, Director

Scott is a New York State licensed Physical Therapist. His professional training, experience, and empathic nature enable him to help you in your journey back to a pain-free active lifestyle.

Scott grew up in Zimbabwe, Africa. He graduated from the Medical School at the University of Cape Town, South Africa in 1995 with a degree in Physical Therapy. At the time, UCT was acclaimed as one of the world's strongest manual therapy training programs.

Since coming to the U.S. in 1996, he has studied extensively with John F. Barnes, P.T., founder of the Myofascial Release approach, and since 1999 has instructed alongside Barnes at the Myofascial Release seminars nationwide. He now teaches these seminars around the US, travelling approximately monthly, all the while trying to balance his marriage and family life that includes a happy little growing son and a personal life that includes martial arts, meditation, yoga and love of the outdoors.

He founded WPT in 2002 with a vision of creating a Holistic Center for Wellness. With his solid medical and scientific background as a physical therapist, Scott is able to bridge the worlds of Western and Complementary medicine. His eclectic approach to healing creates a nurturing, therapeutic environment which is both safe and effective.
