At Dynamic Health and Performance, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. George Rofail frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• With George Rofail's help, managing tendonitis pain flaring up in my shoulder, knee, elbow, or foot to achieve feeling a substantial improvement in their mobility and range of motion for easier movement becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips.
• For those whose awful foot pain first thing in the morning, like I'm walking on glass (plantar fasciitis) has made engaging in detailed crafting, sewing, or knitting hobbies for hours seem like a distant memory, George Rofail's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward sleeping more soundly through the night due to reduced pain and discomfort. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to engaging in detailed crafting, sewing, or knitting hobbies for hours with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Are you finding that one leg feeling shorter than the other, causing hip or back pain stops you from enjoying peacefully paddling their kayak or canoe on the lake for hours? George Rofail is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a noticeable reduction in daily discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• At George Rofail's physiotherapy practice, individuals with facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy) are guided towards improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as playing fetch with their dog in the park for an extended time.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the Physiotherapist to easily access and assess the area being treated, and permits you to move freely for any exercises or movements. For example, shorts are ideal for knee, hip, or ankle issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for shoulder, neck, or upper back problems. Athletic wear or gym attire is generally a good choice. You may also be provided with a gown if needed.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

What are Dynamic Health and Performance's operating hours?

Dynamic Health and Performance is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call our office at (905) 339-2333 or check our website for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics for most Ontarians. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. It is strongly recommended that you check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

What is Dynamic Health and Performance's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation journey and empower you to take an active role in your recovery process. Your Physiotherapist will carefully select and teach you exercises specific to your needs. These exercises help to reinforce what's done in the clinic, manage your condition effectively, and ensure you continue progressing towards your goals even when you're not in a session.
