Suzani Steyn

I am the founder of Suzani Steyn Physiotherapy, which started as a new business adventure in January 2021. I am an enthusiastic physiotherapist who has a passion for serving the people in the community that I find myself in. Although I do love my profession as a physiotherapist – in all its glory; I do have a special interest in sports rehabilitation, paediatrics, lung conditions, and disability assessments. 

I really do enjoy doing Pilates and Rebounding classes as part of a holistic approach within the practice, as we all know that prevention is better than cure! My aim is to provide patients or clients with a safe place where they can come share their fears and feelings, and assist them in reaching their own best versions of themselves.

Liza Marie Steyn

I am an energetic and driven physiotherapist who has a love for life, people, nature, and my profession. I recently started working at Suzani Steyn Physiotherapy, and I am very excited to see how I can help to make a change in the community. I really enjoy all the different fields of physiotherapy; but I do have a special interest in neurology rehabilitation, orthopaedic conditions, paediatrics and geriatrics. 

I am a firm believer in treating all patients holistically and work towards an individualised end goal with a unique treatment plan according to the patient’s need. I enjoy educating my patients about their condition; as I have found that if you understand what is wrong, the physical part of rehabilitation becomes a little easier. My aim is to serve the people in the community by assisting them to reach their personal goals, so that they can live their best life regardless of their condition.
