Faizal Navodia

Registered Physiotherapist / Clinic Owner

Faizal has a reputation for achieving great results for his clients with complex injuries and conditions. Faizal's passion lies in the field of Neuro and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy which he developed soon after completing his Masters Degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science from Oakland University. With over 14 years of experience in the field, Faizal has a knack for simplifying things for his patients so that they understand the diagnosis and treatment helping them take better care of themselves. His hands on approach not limited to Myofascial Release Therapy helps him to utilize many skills to ensure the body is working in “sync”.

His dedication to his clients has motivated him to complete several certifications in the field of Neuroscience Physiotherapy including Neuro Development Technique (NDT) and Bobath, NeuroKinetic Therapy, Concussion Management, Vestibular Rehabilitation , PONS therapy and Acupuncture. Faizal enjoys sharing his knowledge with the next generation of therapists and has assisted in teaching certification courses along with mentoring students who are near completion of their degrees.

This passion led Faizal to open his own rehab centre in Ajax. With a great team of client-centered care, Faizal and his team are sure to help you achieve your goals in your journey to better health! The goal of the team is not to only treat the symptoms you present but to get to the root cause of your pain which helps achieve long term goals and alleviates the vicious cycle of chronic pain.

In his spare time, when Faizal is not undergoing a makeover or playing tea party with his two beautiful daughters, you will likely find Faizal running (perhaps from his wife!). This newfound passion (thanks Covid!) had Faizal recently complete a half marathon and train for his first full marathon which he hopes to complete by the end of the year.
