Sue Ramauthar, the innovative founder of SuedeWellness and the Life Resilience Institute, is reshaping the corporate wellness landscape with her unique blend of traditional physiotherapy and cutting-edge technology.
Based in Johannesburg, Sue is a seasoned physiotherapist and wellness ambassador with over 20 years of experience. Her approach has garnered the attention of prominent clients such as Standard Bank, Hannover Re, Lombard Insurance, Sappi, and TCS, showcasing her as a thought leader in the wellness industry.
“My passion has always been understanding human biomechanics and how our daily routines impact how our body feels and moves,” says Sue.
This deep-rooted passion is the driving force behind her innovative strategies. By integrating clinical theory and experience into corporate initiatives, she helps employees understand their musculoskeletal symptoms and provides tools to foster a better relationship with their bodies.
Sue’s emphasis on the relationship between individuals and their bodies is central to her philosophy.
“I believe that the relationship we have with our body is one of the longest and most important relationships we will have in this life,” she explains. This belief underpins the tailored wellness programs offered by SuedeWellness, which are designed to be fun, achievable, and sustainable, focusing on the fundamental pillars of wellness.
Innovation and creativity are at the heart of Sue’s approach. She embraces continuous innovation, leveraging advancements in digital and technological domains to enhance conventional wellness paradigms.
“Balancing traditional physiotherapy practices with new technologies in wellness approaches can enhance the effectiveness of treatment and improve outcomes,” she notes. This balance is achieved by gradually introducing tools like tracking apps and video consultations while ensuring that personal care and interaction remain paramount.
Sue’s background in physiotherapy provides her with a profound understanding of human biomechanics and how to guide individuals and organisations to minimise the negative impacts of a fast-paced lifestyle on the body. Her extensive clinical experience enables her to translate complex medical concepts into practical, everyday wellness strategies that can be easily implemented in the workplace.
SuedeWellness sets itself apart by its ability and willingness to customise solutions based on the needs of each organisation. “No two corporations are the same, and therefore the approach to wellness needs to be based on the needs of the employees,” Sue asserts. This tailored approach ensures that wellness programs are effective, engaging and sustainable for employees. Many of SuedeWellness’s campaigns focus on making wellness initiatives fun, achievable, and sustainable, recognising that small changes today can yield big results tomorrow.
Innovation in wellness is not only about adopting new technologies but also about fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Sue encourages her team and clients to stay abreast of new technologies that can supplement wellness efforts, providing key data for personalised treatment plans. “We are cognisant not to replace personal care and interaction with technology,” she says, highlighting the importance of maintaining a human touch in wellness initiatives.
