A little late but...

On September 16th, Gemini Health Group celebrated our 2 year anniversary of opening with our dedicated team and patients. This was more of a celebration of our patients for sticking with us and trusting our team throughout a pandemic, and finding a way to keep everyone working toward their health goals in a safe way. No better way to say congratulations to a hard working team and our many incredible patients like delicious cupcakes from Ginger's Cupcakes & Desserts in Aurora!

Looking forward to another great year at Gemini Health Group!

Dear Gemini Friends and Family,

As most of you are aware, gyms and fitness centers in York Region are closing for 28 days starting Monday, October 19th, 2020.

Our popular physiotherapy Injury Prevention Program will continue running out of the Anytime Fitness next door. This means that patients coming in for their scheduled physiotherapy Injury Prevention appointments will have the entire 5000 sq ft facility dedicated to their sessions with no regular members allowed inside. Get the professional athlete / VIP experience.

We continue to operate with the utmost attention to keeping every one of our patients safe and healthy. We take this extremely seriously and continue to ask that you do too!

We ask that you please reschedule your appointment if you:

- experience any cold or flu symptoms (except for minor congestion)
- have come into close proximity of anyone diagnosed with Covid-19
- have travelled outside of the Province of Ontario in the last 2 weeks

Please bring your mask to every appointment and sanitize your hands upon entry both at the clinic and the gym.

We can only stay safe and healthy as well as continue to operate our business if everyone works together.

Thank you,

Your Gemini family

Gemini Health Group Is Opening Its Doors Again...Safely

Gemini Health Group is extremely happy to announce that we have been cleared by the Ministry of Health to resume in-person physiotherapy and rehabilitation services when it can be done in a safe manner. We officially opened last week, and have set many strict new safety protocols in place.

We are very excited to get back to helping you feel your best but we are begging you to please not come in to the clinic if:

❌ You are experiencing any COVID-19 / cold and flu symptoms

❌ You have been in contact with anyone who is experiencing such symptoms

❌ You suspect for any reason that you might have COVID-19

We will be screening every patient the day before their appointment AS WELL AS at the clinic upon entering.


What we are doing and asking you to do to ensure everyone stays safe:


☑️Mandatory face masks for all staff / therapists and patients at all times

☑️We ask that patients bring in their own mask, if you do not have one we can provide you with one (supplies are limited)

☑️We have made a huge purchase of hand sanitizer - PLEASE DON’T BE SHY AND USE A BUNCH - OFTEN!

☑️Intense patient screening protocols

☑️Staff members will not be coming to work if they are experiencing any COVID-19 / cold and flu symptoms

☑️We are a low volume clinic and we will have no more than 2 people in the waiting room at the same time

☑️Enhanced cleaning and sanitization schedule

☑️Installed a protective shield at the front reception desk

☑️We ask you to please use the washroom at home/work prior to your appointment - you can still use our facilities of course but decreased use will reduce the risk of spread

☑️Reducing the use of cash - we will still accept cash, however Credit/Debit/Direct Billing is preferred

☑️We continue to provide virtual services as well in case you are not comfortable coming in for in-person sessions but require our services.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Getting comfortable at home, strategies for setting up an ergonomic home based office. Join Alex Gurba Registered Physiotherapist & Clinic Owner from the Gemini Health Group, as we explore some of the best practices when it comes to setting up your home office.

Dear Gemini Friends and Family,

We continue to support our patients through Virtual Physiotherapy services and are now proud to present our new program - Virtual Ergonomic Assessments of your home office/wherever you're working from + 40% off our incredible Gemini Lumbar Cushion when booking a Virtual Ergonomic Assessment.

At Gemini Health Group, our registered physiotherapists are trained to perform the most comprehensive virtual ergonomic assessments for individuals working out of absolutely anywhere. Our years of experience treating the injuries caused by poor ergonomics make us the perfect specialists to resolve the problems before they arise.

Our Virtual Ergonomic Assessments are covered by all insurance health benefits plans under Physiotherapy because they are performed by registered physiotherapists.

No matter how well equipped your home office is, if you're lucky to be working from an office at all, it is likely not set up the way your workplace office is. I know my dining room definitely falls short of an ergonomic masterpiece.

This will inevitably lead to musculoskeletal disorders that will cause pain and dysfunction. These injuries are the number one type of lost-time work injury reported to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) in Ontario according to the Ontario Ministry of Labour.

Our Virtual Ergonomic Assessments, coupled with the Gemini Lumbar Cushion will help you stay healthy and keep your spine happy while you work from home.

Our Gemini Lumbar Cushion:

Designed and developed by registered physiotherapists who understand the spine

It is made with 100% PURE MEMORY FOAM - The memory foam is far superior to inflatable devices at contouring itself to your back and keeping you comfortable and supported

DUAL ADJUSTABLE STRAPS - Unlike low quality cushions with one strap our double straps secure the cushion in the correct position and prevent it from sliding down

HYPOALLERGENIC, BREATHABLE 3D MESH COVER - Allows airflow through the cushion to keep your back cool and dry for the best experience

Our Gemini Lumbar Cushion is perfect for the office chair, dining room chair, car seat and even wheelchair

Book your Virtual Ergonomic Assessment for your home work-space for $85 (Can be billed directly to insurance if applicable) and get the Gemini Lumbar Cushion for only $26.55 + HST

Stay safe and healthy,

Your Gemini Family
