Bridget Ziperstein

Bridget Ziperstein is a qualified occupational therapist, owner and founder of Bridget Murray Rogers Inc, with a passion for helping and supporting her clients on their unique therapy journeys.
Bridget started her career in the field of wheelchairs and seating. It was here she learnt the significance of correct postural support and the role the environment plays on one’s functional ability.
Bridget went on to establish A2Z Home Rehab in 2011, a home-based occupational therapy practice. It aimed to facilitate the transition from hospital to home, ensuring the skills learnt during in-hospital treatment were carried through into the home environment.
She is dedicated to her work and the needs of her clients.

The motto she lives by is “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try”.

Nica Pietersen

Nica has a special interest in neurological conditions, but believes that the broadness of occupational therapy is what makes us unique and able to view each patient as a whole person.
She is currently completing her MSc OT (neurology) at the University of the Witwatersrand.
Overall wellbeing is extremely important to her and in her spare time she'll either be horse riding, mountain biking or walking her dogs.
Nica is most commonly known for being energetic, passionate and smiling through her KN95 mask.

Derryn Palmer

Derryn has a special interest in neurological and upper limb rehabilitation. She believes that by enabling people to improve their independence, it creates a sense of meaning and fulfilment that is so often taken for granted.

She lives by the motto, “The sun will rise, and we will try again”.

Shayna Webb

Shayna is a versatile occupational therapist with a special interest in physical rehabilitation. She has further training in wheelchair seating and upper limb dysfunction.

She believes that rehabilitation is a journey that requires many different parties playing key roles. Recovery is almost never linear and Occupational Therapy assists adapting to the highs and the lows.

Claire Martin

Claire has been with BMR Therapy for some time, but getting a photo of her took patience and persistence! She runs our in-patient services at Medwedge Stepdown Facility.
Claire is a dedicated and enthusiastic individual who believes in providing holistic care to all her clients. She can be found bumbling about the halls of Medwedge Stepdown Facility with a cheerful smile and empathetic ear.

When she isn’t assisting patients with their recovery, you’ll find her building a puzzle or making a good meal to share with friends.
