Liana Grünewald – Travelling Physiotherapist in Johannesburg
Physiotherapy at your home.
Are you or someone you care for recovering from an accident and unable to travel easily. Maybe it’s your elderly parents who feel more comfortable at home than being driven off to therapy rooms. Getting to your local physio is often difficult for those who truly need it so Liana brings your treatment to you.
Liana qualified as a Physiotherapist in 1993 at the University of Pretoria. She has worked in a wide variety of settings including hospital, private practice, sub acute (step-down), frail care at old age homes, nursery schools and home visits. Liana has been self employed since 2006 focusing on home visits for rehabilitation of various conditions. Liana speaks English and Afrikaans fluently.
Liana believes in quality time with her patients and spends on average 45 minutes per treatment.
