Dr. Zhakir Ali Mowzer


I graduated from the Durban University of Technology (KZN) and I have been in private practice for over a decade. My predominant area of interest is in general family practice especially colicky babies and I have worked with professional athletes at various professional events at various levels. My focus lies in natural health, acupuncture, sports injuries, ergonomics and overall wellness. In my spare time I am involved with various community based projects because I believe we should give back to our communities and assist where wherever can.

Aside from practice, I guest lectured at the School of Natural Medicine (University of the Western Cape) and I have supervised Naturopathy students on their clinical approach to patients. I have a strong inclination towards teaching and I believe in striving for continuous development, both personally and professionally. I have done some consultation work for Men’s Health magazine on ergonomics and I was invited onto various television interviews to speak of my work, one of which was Expresso with Dr. Michael Mol to discuss the importance of physical balance and recovery after injuries. Furthermore, I have given talks at the medical associations, wellness days arranged by Discovery Health, the Society of Radiographers of South Africa and the Department of Dentistry (UWC) on the importance of maintaining a healthy spine and posture.
