About Us

At Monique Groenewald Physiotherapy, we are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based physiotherapy services to help our patients move better, feel better, and become better.

Founded by Monique Groenewald, a highly qualified physiotherapist with years of experience in chronic pain management, post-surgical rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal therapy, MG Physio is dedicated to individualised, patient-centred care.

We believe in a holistic approach, combining hands-on therapy, exercise prescription, and innovative treatments to address a wide range of conditions. Our goal is to empower our patients, helping them regain function, reduce pain, and enhance their overall quality of life.

Services Offered

At MG Physio, we offer comprehensive physiotherapy services designed to meet the unique needs of each patient. Whether you require rehabilitation after surgery, treatment for chronic pain, or general musculoskeletal care, we are here to help.

In-Hospital Physiotherapy

We provide expert in-hospital physiotherapy services for patients recovering from:

• Surgery (e.g., joint replacements, spinal procedures, abdominal surgery)
• Cardiopulmonary conditions
• Neurological events such as strokes
• Prolonged hospital stays leading to reduced mobility

Our hospital-based rehabilitation focuses on early mobilisation, pain management, and functional recovery to ensure a safe and effective discharge.

Out-Patient / Individual Physiotherapy

For those requiring ongoing rehabilitation, our out-patient physiotherapy services cater to individuals recovering from:

• Sports injuries
• Orthopaedic conditions
• Chronic pain and fatigue syndromes
• Neurological disorders
• Women’s health conditions

Each patient receives a customised treatment plan tailored to their specific condition and goals.

Shockwave Therapy

We offer Shockwave Therapy, an advanced treatment that stimulates tissue healing, reduces pain, and improves mobility. This is particularly effective for conditions such as:

• Chronic tendon injuries (e.g., Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis)
• Muscle and ligament injuries
• Calcific shoulder tendinitis

Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive solution that promotes faster recovery and long-term relief.

We offer specialised exercise classes conducted by professional physiotherapists. Participating in a structured class can improve strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, cardiovascular fitness, and balance. Our classes are designed to help:

• Improve functional capacity
• Reduce the risk of falls
• Manage chronic conditions

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends at least:

• 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or
• 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week
• At least two days per week of muscle-strengthening and balance exercises

Our classes are tailored to individual needs. Speak to us to find the right class for you.

Pilates can help improve overall body awareness, reduce injury risk, and support rehabilitation.

Conditions Treated

At MG Physio, our treatments are tailored to each patient’s specific symptoms, weaknesses, and functional limitations. We use a combination of hands-on therapy, therapeutic exercises, dry needling, electrotherapy, and taping to support the healing process.
