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 utilise 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.

OUR REVIEWS “I have had two stints at the Tokai Step Down Facility and have been very blessed to have had Jenna facilitate my healing resulting from my knee and hip replacement procedures. The professional rehabilitation is amazing and gives one a huge kick start to get back ‘on the road’ so much quicker and is highly recommended.” - Kay Matthews “After having my leg amputated, I went to Faircape and had the pleasure of having Jenna as my physiotherapist. I was very weak on arrival and was there for 3 weeks. If it wasn’t for Jenna, through her commitment and dedication, I wouldn’t be where I am today. With her motivation and strength, you’d have to look far to find someone like her.” - Mrs Sebba “It’s such a pleasure to share my experiences with Jenna as my physio. I have had Jenna assist me following spinal surgery last year and again post Covid and Septicemia this year. Jenna is very professional, knowledgeable, consistent and very positive in her approach, which makes such a difference in achieving the desired results. Jenna made a difference in my process of healing. I am truly grateful.” - Mrs Footman
