The Rehabilitation Team

Knowledgeable, experienced and truly passionate – our team of therapists are exceptional at what they do. Together with the Synergy Holistix philosophy and approach, each team member brings their own unique skills to the Centre, and whilst each treatment is independent, together the therapies encapsulate ‘Synergy’ – ‘working together’ to achieve remarkable results for our patients.

A Professional Team of Experts

Dr Wayne Borowsky
Chiropractic Practitioner
  • Mtec Degree (TSW) SA

My philosophy has always been based on blending healing methodologies, and I can testify to both the physical and emotional manifestation of this. By focusing on both spheres, it allows one to naturally treat more than just the symptoms. My team at Synergy Holistix all share philosophies.

Each patient has to be treated uniquely, and the treatment platform will be decided on an individual basis.

Dr Marco Maruggi
Chiropractic Practitioner
  • M.Tech Chiropractic (UJ)

My main passion has always been sport and I have played at a provincial level. Over the past 10 years, I experienced many injuries due to sport and this led me to be treated by our very own Dr. Wayne Borowsky – whom I learned a lot from.

As a result of this, my passion subsequently went from playing sport to treating sport-related injuries, as well as the general well-being of patients.

I grew up in a sporting family and was always involved in sport throughout school and university. I have always had an alternative view on life and the way the physical, psychological and metaphysical work hand in hand. I graduated from the University of Johannesburg in 2013 with an undergraduate in Sports Psychology and honours in Biokinetics.

I have further studied alternative forms of healing, which I include in my practice, to gain a further understanding of one’s situation at hand. I have worked with many different athletes ranging from novice to elite performers. My main passion is to work with sporting teams in both rehabilitation and high-performance situations.

Passionate about Pilates, I discovered my love for movement at an early age when I began dancing at 3.  I was extremely active and participated in almost every sport growing up.

I began learning about the human body and how it works, I spent a year focusing on anatomy and physiology as I studied Swedish Massage and Reflexology.

In 2011 I studied Sports Science and completed my Sports Science Diploma as an Exercise Specialist working with the elderly, pregnant woman and children.  It was at this time when I was introduced to Pilates and completed my Mat work certification.
