OUR REHAB TEAM The Story Behind Our Team Tokai Physiotherapy Inc was established in 2021 by Marchelle Lake and Megan Bezuidenhout. Our practice upholds the highest standards of care and is committed to efficacy and an evidence based, innovative approach to physical rehabilitation. Our team is comprised of 6 dynamic physiotherapists boasting over 35 years of combined experience. We make a significant and positive impact on people’s lives through caring, healing and empowering. We treat every patient with dignity and respect. Our physiotherapists believe that every patient is unique. That’s why we conduct thorough first evaluations to ensure treatment programmes are equally unique. It’s our goal to treat not only the symptoms but the underlying cause. Our vision remains to build an all-inclusive environment with a patient-centered approach and utilize the various disciplines in-house to provide the highest possible level of care.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? Each physiotherapist has a special interest within physiotherapy and has the ambition to thrive and excel within their field. We run 6 main departments within the practice each with a lead physiotherapist that is highly skilled and trained to offer effective patient centred care in line with international guidelines.

NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION “Start doing what is necessary, then do what is possible and suddenly you’ll be doing the impossible.” Neurological rehabilitation is the focus on improving one’s function, reducing neurological symptoms and improving the wellbeing of people who have experienced a neurological event or have been diagnosed with a neurological condition. It improves quality of life by giving back independence. At Tokai Physiotherapy, we are passionate about helping people who have experienced a neurological event, or those who are living with a neurological condition.
OUR APPROACH Following an initial complex assessment, the treating physiotherapy will create a tailored treatment plan to improve quality of life, facilitate movement and improve functional ability.
