PLEASE give Central Florida Therapist and Rehab Group a chance to help you. Myofascial release technique is used. It is a different type of PT - you do absolutely nothing but relax, he does all the work. No weights, no stretchy bands, no bikes to ride or stairs to climb. It is the most amazing process.
After two years of spending thousands of dollars trying to get sciatic nerve pain relief - going to chiropractors (3) epidural shots, acupuncture, pain pills...nothing worked. I was scheduled for surgery - they were going to take out part of my spine!!!
Raifu is the therapist. He is amazing, gifted and so knowledgeable about how the body works. Once you have tried him, you will never go back to regular PT. He's directly behind the Renaissance Consignment Shop on SW 60th.

Your search for a physical therapist is over. Please hear me out! The therapist you choose to help you recover is extremely important to your healing, don't make the same mistake I did.
This is The Most Talented Physical Therapist that Will Bring Healing To You.
Hi my name is Rachel G and in May 2019 I almost died in a head-on collision. I had 23 broken bones and fractures shattering my foot and hip, breaking my back and pelvic to name a few others... repairing my hip was postponed 13 days while they waited to see if I would live. My foot was repaired immediately because of the bones coming out of the side. The muscle, tissue and nerve damage was severe. After 2 months in the hospital I was finally able to go home. I could not walk and the amount of pain I was in was extreme, but I was alive. I began physical therapy as soon as I could, I was referred to Advent health and believed my healing would truly begin. Boy was I wrong. Four months of torture is what happened next. Four months of being told I had to learn to walk through the pain to recover from the pain. Four months of no improvements. At every appointment I would walk regardless of how painful it was, regardless of how sick I felt or how many times I would throw up from the pain, every appointment I would push myself as much as I could because they insisted at Advent health that I had to walk through the pain to heal and I was determined to heal. One day of therapy equaled two days of extreme pain recovering from therapy. They insisted it was necessary. I finally gave up on advent health when the physical therapist assistant, that's who works on you there an assistant not an actual physical therapist, the assistant sat me down and told me there was no reason for me to still be in so much pain and that it was all in my head and I needed to speak to a professional... I was shocked, speechless, I left my appointment early and sat in my car crying. How could she say such things... I knew I couldn't go back. That's when I went to google to find a new therapist. I found Central Florida Therapy and Rehabilitation, I called and told the women who answered the phone what had happened. Tracey was so compassionate and shocked at what I went through and what the assistant at Advent health told me. She took down all of my information and my doctors information and took care of the rest, from obtaining referrals from my surgeons to contacting the insurance company for coverage. Three days later I had a new physical therapist and my first appointment scheduled. The office staff at Central Florida have remained kind compassionate people ready to help with any request, they truly make you feel important.
From there it only gets better!! First at Central Florida you will be treated by a physical therapist, not an assistant to a physical therapist with 18 months training but an actual Physical Therapist. Dr Raifu is an amazing man who does not demand that his patients get use to the pain but the opposite, if it hurts we don't do it. Instead he uses his instruments, moist heat and healing massage and stretches, to name a few techniques, to repair the damage creating discomfort to your body. In the past 6 weeks with Dr Raifu at Central Florida I have experienced an incredible healing. The swelling in my foot is almost gone, the circulation is so much better, my foot is no longer turning black from the blood pulling and yesterday I walked without pain for over an hour. My hip and back pain is much better and I am so excited for my future. Dr Raifu says I will walk without pain again soon, and I truly believe him. So go no further, this is the therapist that will bring you or your loved ones healing, he will not torture you or demand that you get use to the pain. I truly believe Dr Raifu is the most talented physical therapist you will find, he truly cares for his patients and he will help you recover. Call Tracey Now!

Dr.Raifu is doing magic just in the couple weeks we’ve been going to him ... the only regret is not knowing sooner to go to him for my 14 year old lower back minor scoliosis ...thanks to Dr.Raifu he’s been having less and less pain and discomfort.

Excellent experience for me. I was in a really bad accident a couple of months ago and if it wasn't for mr.raifu i would probably be in a worse situation than where i am now. So if you are looking for a good pt i would recommend him. Also CFTRG is a very friendly place as well.

My daughter and I are both patients here and it was a true blessing for us to come here. Mr Olorunfemi is very attentive and patient. He really makes you feel comfortable and he cares about truly helping you with whatever is wrong. My daughter is 11 years old she came to the clinic about 2 months ago she had a problem with her leg and she had pain in her knee and could not stand straight. After he worked with her for some time, she has no pain and now standing straight and able to walk longer periods of time. He is blessed.. I began having treatments about 2 weeks ago and I truly feel better after every visit. I have several elements going on, I am being treated for vertigo and fibromyalgia and I also have herniated disc. So far all my dizziness and headaches are gone. My stress level also improves after every visit. Mr Olorunfemi is the greatest physical therapist I ever had. A true healer.

"It's your posture that's causing your pain" he said. I looked at Raifu with a puzzled face "what my posture no I was told & the MRI showed pinched nerves at the root". So he stood me up before a mirror & showed me how one side was up the other down.
For the first time in my life I was stretched by a Physical Therapist. That is how my journey with Dr. O started. I found him to be a walking body encyclopedia , but one who took the time to listen to me & my physical problems he even once a listen to my psychological complaint, when I was having a down day thinking about my husband who died a year and a half before. Dr. O shared information that made me feel better. Raifu explained why my body was reacting with pain & what trigger muscle or ligament that could relieve it through stretching &/or exercise.
I've been suffering with lower back pain since 2007 two years after a laminectomy. I was trying everything to prevent another surgery. I realized I could stretch & relieve the pain without medication. It was the most informative, non-invasive, helpful therapy I've ever had. Central Florida Therapy & Rehab will be my therapy of choice forever.
Oh yes one last comment; the office staff are wonderful. They are all kind & helpful. My entire experience was to MY benefit. You cannot go very many businesses and report that, especially those that deal medical issues.

Having worked in the fields of exercise physiology, orthopaedics and rehab, I was interested to see how Dr. O would approach my pain problem. I was pleasantly surprised to experience his unique methods, that considered not just the site of the pain but how the body interacts as a whole. He not only relieved my pain from an old accident injury, but more importantly, helped me to understand how to exercise and stretch to prevent further pain and injury on a lifelong basis. I found his non-traditional physical therapy to be effective and allowed me to avoid further invasive pain management. It was important to be open minded about how to manage my own body and well being, as opposed to me seeking more invasive techniques. That was my goal.

In January of 2018 I injured my right shoulder during a mountain biking accident in Las Vegas. This resulted in me only being able to lift my arm up 40 degrees with severe pain. When I returned to Ocala the next week I sought medical treatment.
My physician ordered X-rays, MRI's and EMG's. I was also sent to a Orthopedic Surgeon as well as a Occupational Therapist and was finally seen by a Neurologist and diagnosed with right upper trunk brachial plexus injury.
I was referred to Raifu Olorunfemi, PT, MS at th Central Florida Therapist and Rehabilitation Group in April of 2018. By this time I had severe weakness and substantial muscle loss in my right arm, shoulder and back. When I met Therapist Olorunfemi he said right away that he could help me in my recovery.
I started receiving treatments twice a week. I'm now at a point in my recovery where I have regained full range of motion for my right arm. Additionally, I was able to rebuild muscle in my arm, shoulder and back. I believe that Therapist Olorunfemi's rehabilitation treatments were the sole reason for my physical improvement and recovery.
I received my last treatment from Therapist Olorunfemi a couple of weeks ago and have continued to regain my strength and muscle mass.
I am grateful for the caring treatment Therapist Olorunfemi and his staff have provided to me. I highly recommend Therapist Olorunfemi and the Central Florida Therapist and Rehabilitation Group to anyone who is seeking physical therapy.

My nine year old daughter had an extensive surgery back in October of last year. She was diagnosed with flat foot- it was so bad where she was practically walking on her ankle. So they decided to fuse the ankle. She was immobilized for 5-6 months.
Just about 2 weeks ago she had the walking boot removed where she can actually feel normal again. She was actually able to walk. she is very unstable and has trouble balancing at this point so the doctor (Nemours Hospital) referred her to do physical therapy for roughly 4-5 months several times a week.
I looked long and hard for a good therapist to work with her and help her get to where she needs to be- I found Central Florida Therapist Rehabilitation Group here in Ocala. When I tell you it was an amazing experience - it was amazing!! My daughter was so comfortable. He literally did one stretch and her feet were leveled! I understood it wasn't permanent, that it was temporary but to see the difference was amazing. It almost had me in tears - the way he explained everything in detail and the knowledge he carries is mind blowing!
I have full trust in him that he is going to get my baby feeling wonderful and pain free! I'm so pleased with the customer service that was provided and the communication with the staff. I'm very happy I found them! I would most definitely recommend them to anyone I know that is having any issues whatsoever.
And the weird part is that was just an evaluation- therapy sessions haven't even started but that one 30 minute session made me feel comfortable and put me at ease that's where my daughter needs to be which is in the good hands of a very knowledgeable doctor and a wonderful pleasant staff. I would highly recommend them!
