Joseph Difonzo

Physiotherapist, founder (North York, stouffville)

Over the past ten years, Joseph has honed a treatment skill-set focused on addressing the root causes of his patient’s problems.
Joseph’s decision to become a physiotherapist was driven by his love for two things: sports and helping people, and even after a decade in the field, these passions remain unchanged. The most rewarding aspect of his job is the relationships he has built with his patients.

Joseph’s approach involves a combination of manual therapy, electroacupuncture, and exercise. In his assessment process, Joseph delves into various aspects, asking questions about the forces exerted on the body, the frequency and duration of such forces, past injuries, and contributing factors to the problem.

By piecing together the answers to these questions, Joseph constructs a narrative surrounding the injury or pain problem, with a key emphasis on understanding the “why” behind the pain. This clarity informs a more targeted and effective treatment approach, and Joseph collaborates closely with his patients in solving this puzzle.

Outside of his professional endeavors, Joseph enjoys spending time with his family. An avid outdoors enthusiast, he dedicates his summer free time to playing golf and exploring new lakes for fishing. At the heart of Joseph’s life is his son, who has reignited his passion for sports through the exploration of various activities.

Joseph looks forward to the opportunity to assist others in moving, feeling, and performing better each day.

Eric Lee treated my back, did adjustments. My body felt so amazing afterwards. He is friendly, explained everything thoroughly before begin the session and reminding me as we go along. Treatment room is bright and reasonable clean. I recommend Eric Lee to whoever have back issue.

From the minute you enter the clinic you are treated with respect and discretion. The staff is professional and attentive. I am a patient of Makayla Latham, an RMT. After the treatment I feel relaxed and revived. Highly recommended.

My first time with Makayla, massage therapist at The Rehab Grid, Toronto, and I was really impressed!! She knows her anatomy, and thus, how to release tight muscles knowledgeably. With this sense of the body, she didn't need to ask if the pressure was too much or little, as she applied just what was necessary for the release. Oh, and Bonus: I loved her music choice! But it all started with a visit to Sabrina, physiotherapist, to work out the issues in my body after fracturing my right talus and pulling ligaments and tendons. My body was compensating all over, and I felt still not back to 100% after 9 months. I am happy to say that walking out of my first session with Sabrina, my gait was another and with less pain. Session two she gave me a short exercise regime. After only a few run-throughs, today dog walk was literally a walk in the park! She's working with my arthritis in my feet as well, and I'm already really pleased with the results. She's also delightful and knows what she's doing. Thanks to the friendly staff at Toronto Rehab Grid, as well!!

I had been struggling with significant shoulder pain and immobility for the better part of a year, which made it impossible for me to continue powerlifting—a sport I’m passionate about. After just one session with Sabrina, she not only assessed my issues with incredible precision but also performed manual therapy that immediately allowed me to bench press and lift again. I went from barely being able to bench 135 lbs, due to this injury, to comfortably benching 365 lbs pain-free after just two sessions with her. It’s been months now, and I’ve remained completely pain-free. Although Sabrina is relatively new to the profession, she is extremely gifted and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with serious issues or simply in need of a tune-up. Sabrina truly has a rare talent for healing!

I had a great experience at Rehab Grid and Dr. Eric Lee is an awesome person. I would recommend the centre and Dr. Eric because he takes his time to go through all the procedures carefully.
