Prior to her relocation to South Africa in 2005 and establishing the practice in 2006, Inge worked in Cologne, Germany as an assistant head of a unit in a sub-acute rehabilitation facility, including an in-house Intensive Care Rehab unit.

Inge facilitated in-house trainings as well as conducted out-reach programs.
