A family-run clinic built around people.

Alireza Aminlari is an Ontario-registered physiotherapist with more than 35 years of experience in physical therapy. He is known at Physiotrust for careful assessment, clear clinical reasoning, and a remarkable memory for the people he treats—not only the information written in their charts.

Alireza graduated in physiotherapy in 1987 and completed a Master of Science in Physical Therapy at Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 1995. Before moving to Canada, his career included clinical practice, teaching, cardiac rehabilitation, and program leadership. He directed the cardiac rehabilitation ward at Moheb Hospital and was a founder and educational director of the Iranian Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Association.

In 2009, Alireza received the Best Lecturer award in the physiotherapy field at the 16th Congress of the Iranian Society of Cardiac Surgeons. His additional education has included cardiac rehabilitation, kinesiotaping, principles of pharmacology in rehabilitation, and lumbar and sacroiliac care.

After moving to Canada in 2010, Alireza became registered to practise in Ontario and began working here in 2012. He and his wife, Azam Khoshsiar, opened Physiotrust in 2014. Many of the clinic’s patients have now trusted him with their care for years—and have introduced him to the rest of their families along the way.

Azam Khoshsiar is Physiotrust’s co-manager and one of the people responsible for the clinic’s unusually organized, personal way of working. She knows the clinic’s patients, understands the details behind their appointments and paperwork, and helps make sure that questions do not disappear into a pile of forms.

Before moving to Canada, Azam trained and worked as a physiotherapist in Iran. Her rehabilitation background includes orthopaedic and neurological care, with a strong interest in exercise therapy. That clinical experience continues to shape how she supports patients and the Physiotrust team today.

Azam opened Physiotrust with her husband, Alireza Aminlari, in 2014. Since then, she has helped turn a family-run practice into a clinic where thousands of patients are greeted as people the team actually knows.

Sirous Abbasalipour is a manual osteopathic practitioner with previous physiotherapy experience outside Ontario. His background in rehabilitation and hands-on care informs the way he assesses musculoskeletal concerns and considers how different areas of the body may be contributing to them.

Sirous has a particular interest in working with people experiencing stress-related headaches. His approach is thoughtful and individual, with techniques selected according to the person’s presentation and comfort.

Annie Zhang is a Registered Massage Therapist and a graduate of Centennial College’s Massage Therapy Advanced Diploma program. Her training includes Swedish massage, deep fascial release, hot-stone massage, trigger-point therapy, and individualized client care.

Annie has experience supporting athletes, prenatal and postnatal clients, and people dealing with back, neck, shoulder, knee, foot, ankle, and sports-related concerns. When appropriate, she may also suggest simple stretches or exercises for clients to continue at home.

Suyan Sun has worked as a Registered Massage Therapist since 2014. She begins with a thoughtful assessment and clear treatment goals, then adapts her hands-on care to the client’s needs, comfort, and reason for visiting.

Her areas of practice include Swedish massage, deep-tissue and trigger-point techniques, lymphatic drainage, and prenatal and postnatal massage. Suyan has built a loyal group of returning clients who value both her skill and her consistent, attentive approach.

Navid Dinparast Djadid is a registered acupuncturist with academic training in acupuncture, public health, tropical medicine, and biological science. He brings that broad scientific background to an individualized style of care, with a particular interest in pain and injury-related concerns.

His practice may include acupuncture and related techniques such as cupping, Gua Sha, moxibustion, and Tui Na when appropriate. Navid reviews the person’s health information, explains the proposed approach, and selects care according to their needs.

Mehdi Lotfalizadeh is a clinical psychologist licensed in Ontario. His background includes university teaching, independent psychological assessment, and many years of assessment and intervention work with people affected by psychological trauma.

He is a member of the Ontario Psychological Association and the Canadian Society of Medical Evaluators and holds certification in medicolegal expertise. His practice emphasizes the assessment and treatment of the psychological effects of trauma.

Anahita Meraj is a Registered Psychotherapist with a clinical psychology background. Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioural, dialectical behavioural, emotion-focused, solution-focused, acceptance and commitment, prolonged exposure, and trauma-informed therapies.

She works with adults, youth, children, couples, and families on concerns that may include anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, relationships, life transitions, sleep, and returning to work. Anahita is fluent in English and Farsi and provides culturally sensitive, strengths-based care.

Joylyn Aficial has been part of Physiotrust since 2018. She supports patients throughout their time at the clinic and helps with the insurance paperwork that can otherwise make care feel more complicated than it needs to be.

Joylyn studied physiotherapy and gained clinical experience in the Philippines before coming to Canada. She brings that understanding to her patient-support role, along with the warmth, patience, and attention to detail for which she is known around the clinic.
