Dean Kotopski - Physiotherapist

burnaby registered physiotherapist dean kotopski located at Performax Health Group on Kingsway

Performax Health Group was established by Dean Kotopski, a 20 year veteran of physical rehabilitation with certifications in physiotherapy, massage therapy and acupuncture. Dean began his professional career as an auto mechanic at the age of 19 with a passion for movement and all things mechanical. His enjoyment of athletics and academics soon led him to pursue a career in physical rehabilitation and, as they say, the rest is history.


His unique skill set has been employed by diverse, demanding and result based organizations such as the Vancouver Ravens of the NLL, Skate Canada, Cirque du Soleil, the Winnipeg Jets, the Mann Cup Champion Coquitlam Adanacs and professional fighters in the UFC , K 1 and Strikeforce.  


Dean loves challenge and the opportunity to solve the “unsolvable” pain puzzles so many of his patients face. “Restoring fluid, pain-free movement requires a team approach between myself and the patient. It is an awesome gift to be a part of improving the quality of another’s life”.  His commitment to excellence and passion for his work set Dean and the Performax Health Group team apart as innovative leaders in their field.
