Jennifer Brueton Occupational Therapy -
Physical and Neurological Rehabilitation
Jennifer Brueton Occupational Therapy was established in 2015 as an outpatient Neuro Occupational Therapy practice in Glen Austin, Midrand. Since then we have grown and secured ourselves firmly in the healthcare sector and have already helped many clients achieve their goals for an independent life.
​
We provide Occupational Therapy to clients at Midstream Mediclinic, Midrand, Midstream Estate and Centurion. We also perform home visits to clients in the surrounding areas who are unable to get to our rooms.
​
We are contracted to most medical schemes and charge 100% medical aid rates.
