Cape Rehab Team provides comprehensive neurological rehabilitation services for adults in Sunningdale and surrounding areas.

Rehabilitation normally begins in the acute phase and can be initiated as soon as the patient is medically stable and is able to begin participating in therapy.

We provide holistic and comprehensive rehabilitation for patients who have suffered a stroke, brain injury or other neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Motor Neuron Disease.  Our focus is to restore patients’ quality of life and independence as much as possible, giving them the best chance to build strength, capability and confidence as they recover.

We strongly believe in the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach and therefore liaise with any relevant parties involved in the patient’s personal life and care, including the relevant healthcare providers and the patient’s family, friends and carers.

Cape Rehab Team’s Stroke Support Group provides attendees with vital recovery information and allows stroke survivors and their families and friends to find support and form friendship among others who understand their journey.

Testimonials

My first interaction with the Cape Rehab Team was in December 2020 when I was admitted to Blaauwberg Netcare with GBS. My first recollections of treatment was in ICU and what I can clearly remember is "well done". From day one they did their utmost to assist and help with rehabilitation and encourage. The morning of being transferred to a rehabilitation centre, the therapists had me wobbling, but on my feet and just a few days earlier had me sitting - aided! After my rehabilitation it was recommended that I have further treatment and the recommended practice was Cape Rehab Team - so we went full circle. Initially it had to be home sessions and when people enter a home it automatically becomes very personalised. I truly value new connections formed. The professionalism, support, interaction and encouragement made me even more determined to try and have a complete recovery. I am still having treatment, but now am able to drive myself to their office suite. Thanks to all the help and assistance I continue to receive from a really special bunch of ladies.

The brain needs a special approach to nurture it to its fullest health. You need insight, warmth, knowledge, patience, skill, and lots of experience. i have been working with this team for many years and i would take my own brain to them without hesitation. they are well equipped to deal with a wide spread of neurological problems. from traumatic brain injuries to strokes, from muscle diseases to balance problems, from memory impairments to pain management. they are a good earth to sow your seed of hope.

The therapists of the Cape Rehab Team are not only professional in their attitude and approach; but extremely compassionate towards their patients. Trevor, 56 years of age had a stroke in September 2020, his ongoing recovery is greatly attributed to the team of therapists as they persevere with him and encourage him; understanding his condition completely. Without requesting their assistance, they have taken it upon themselves to liaise with the medical aid; again understanding how tiresome this process may be for the patient and his family. I highly commend this team for their outstanding willingness to help! Thank you.
