Extensive rehabilitation expertise
Dr Cilliers has extensive experience in physical rehabilitation and inpatient care, with a strong focus on restoring function and improving quality of life. His expertise centres on rehabilitation medicine, clinical leadership, multidisciplinary rehabilitation and geriatric rehabilitation, built on a broad clinical foundation. This depth of rehabilitation experience allows him to see the full picture of each patient's needs, from the immediate clinical priorities to the longer-term goal of regaining independence.
Leading interdisciplinary care
As Clinical Head, Dr Cilliers plays a key role in guiding the multidisciplinary teams that make rehabilitation effective. At Intercare Physical Rehabilitation Hospitals, recovery is delivered by doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, dietitians and social workers, all working towards each patient's personal goals. Strong clinical leadership ensures these teams stay coordinated, goal-focused and centred on what matters most: helping patients move from possibility to ability.
