About the practice
Physiotherapy built around you
Peak Physiotherapy is an independent practice in Mayville, Pretoria, in the heart of The Moot and just minutes from Life Eugene Marais Hospital. We provide outpatient physiotherapy for everyday aches and injuries, sports and musculoskeletal problems, and post-surgical recovery, for patients of all ages and activity levels, from weekend walkers to competitive athletes.
Our approach is simple: understand what's driving your problem, explain it clearly, and build a structured plan with measurable milestones so you always know where you're headed. You work one-on-one with your physiotherapist for the full session, there's time to assess properly, treat thoroughly, and answer your questions.
We charge medical aid rates and can run a benefits check for you before you come in. You don't need a doctor's referral to book, you can come directly, and we'll take it from there.
How we work
What guides our care
Evidence-based & structured
Assessment comes first. Treatment follows a clear, structured plan grounded in current physiotherapy evidence, not guesswork, with milestones so progress is something you can see and measure. In practice, that means a full assessment before any treatment starts, a plan you can actually understand, not just follow, and progress that's checked and adjusted as you go.
Personal, one-on-one care
You're treated by your physiotherapist, with time set aside to understand your goals, your lifestyle, and how you move. Care is built around you, not a production line. There's no handing you over between different staff session to session, and no rushing the last five minutes, the person who assesses you is the person treating you, every time.
Movement & sport focus
With a background in sports and rehabilitation, we bring strength-and-conditioning principles into everyday care, helping you return to work, daily life, or sport with confidence. Whether that's getting back to a desk job without pain or back to full training, the same principles apply. Build capacity, not just chase symptom relief.
