Our Team

ADRIEN DANNHAUSER
Owner and physiotherapist
Adrien graduated from The University of Pretoria with a Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy (BPhyst) in 2008. She continued with post-graduate studies completing her SPORT1 diploma in 2014. Since qualifying Adrien has worked at various private practices around Pretoria, gaining over 10 years of clinical experience. In July 2017 she decided to start her own practice – JUST PHYSIO.
Adrien is a hands-on physio with a special interest in sports injuries. Being a sportsperson herself she understands that sportspeople need to get back to their sport as soon as possible. She believes that your treatment can only be as good as your diagnosis. You have to find the problem to help the patient. Treatment doesn’t stop in the room, so a home exercises program will always be given as part of the treatment. She uses a lot of massages, dry needling, strapping and manual therapy like Mulligan, McKenzie and Maitland techniques.
In her efforts to keep up with the latest treatment techniques and research, Adrien has completed the following courses:

MARELIZE MARITZ
Physiotherapist
I am extremely fortunate to be a part of Just Physio. I qualified in 2014 from the University of Pretoria. I have over 10 years of clinical experience in both hospital and out-patient settings, and still enjoy both. I love the great variety of conditions that I am able to treat, as this expands my knowledge and expertise even more. I have a great passion for health, fitness and wellbeing.
My goal in my profession is to help every single patient to understand their condition, whatever it may be, as well as (as our mission here at Just Physio states), I strive to empower my patients toward healing by guiding them through the process thereof. Also, I strive to provide the best evidence-based treatment for each individual according to their specific needs.
I find my work is extremely rewarding. Not only because I can make a difference in my patients’ lives but because I gain a lot from them in return.

LIZA VAN ROOYEN
Physiotherapist
I grew up in a small town in the North West Province and obtained my degree in Physiotherapy from
the University of Pretoria in 2019 where I received the award for best student in Manual Therapy. I
have a special interest in Women’s Health and conditions related to the Pelvic Floor. I don’t only
treat pelvic floor conditions, I find the field of Physiotherapy most interesting and ever evolving,
there is never a dull moment. Because of this reason I also have a keen interest in treating
musculoskeletal and sports injuries and people who suffer from headaches. My motto when treating
patients is: Encourage, Educate, Empower! I strongly believe in encouraging patients to strive for a pain free life, educating them on the reasons/ causes for their pain and ways to stay pain free. This also relates to my passion for Women’s Health and treating conditions of the Pelvic Floor. My aim is to make people more aware of the pelvic floor and issues relating to it as well as the important role Physiotherapy can play in this. Empowering women to take the step, make the change and speak up about conditions/ pain that has been seen as “normal” for a long time is important to me.
I have a big love for animals, enjoy a variety of exercise and love swimming in the ocean. I strongly believe that if you want to live a long and fulfilled life you have to give your body and mind the “food” it needs.
