About Somerset Physio

Lake M & Associates Physiotherapist  was founded in 2021 by two passionate physiotherapists, Marchelle Jones and Megan Albert. Their shared vision was to create a practice that not only delivers exceptional care but also fosters an inclusive, patient-centered environment. Both founders brought with them a wealth of experience and a commitment to innovation in physical rehabilitation, setting the foundation for what their practice stands for today.

They began with their first location, Tokai Physiotherapy in 2021 and proudly grew their practice and started Somerset Physiotherapy in 2024.

From its inception, the practice has been dedicated to upholding the highest standards of care, always driven by efficacy and evidence-based approaches. Our team believes in continuously evolving, integrating the latest advancements in physiotherapy to ensure our patients receive the most effective treatments available.

We understand that every patient’s journey is unique. That’s why we’ve built a practice that is more than just a physiotherapy clinic. We’ve created a space where various disciplines come together under one roof, allowing us to provide comprehensive, individualised care tailored to each patient’s specific needs.

Our story is one of growth, innovation, and dedication to our patients. As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: to build an all-inclusive environment where our patients feel supported, empowered, and confident in their rehabilitation journey.

Tatum was an excellent physio. My grandmother was in the FairCape step down facility for two weeks and we cannot rate the place high enough. We were so impressed with all the staff but it must be said that the physio Tatum was outstanding and we would recommend her to anyone needing rehabilitation. Thank you for your kindness and getting the job done well.

I have spent two weeks with the physioTatum at Fair Cape Health, post the amputation of my left leg. From arriving weak and scared, I am leaving tomorrow capable and confident that I can cope. Tatum was amazing.

What a wonderful experience I had here at Somerset Physiotherapy. I was explained in detail all treatment and procedures which gave me hope and trust which allowed my willingness to do my part to heal. The Therapists were so patient with genuine empathy and the right amount of firmness. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
