Services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sport Clinics addresses musculoskeletal injuries and chronic conditions through personalized assessments and treatments. Our physiotherapists use manual therapy, joint mobilization, and corrective exercises to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve function. Tailored plans target individual goals, whether recovery from surgery, sports injuries, or daily activity support. Evidence-based techniques ensure long-term results, focusing on posture, strength, and flexibility improvements for patients of all ages and activity levels.
Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapists at Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sport Clinics provide deep-tissue and relaxation massages to alleviate stress, muscle tension, and pain. Techniques improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery from injuries or overuse. Sessions address chronic conditions like back pain and headaches while promoting overall wellness. Therapists customize pressure and methods to individual needs, supporting athletes and non-athletes alike in maintaining mobility and preventing future injuries through regular treatments.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture services utilize fine needles to stimulate specific points, relieving pain and inflammation caused by musculoskeletal conditions. This treatment targets nerve pathways to release endorphins, aiding recovery from chronic pain, migraines, and sports injuries. Certified physiotherapists integrate acupuncture with other therapies for enhanced results, focusing on restoring energy balance and accelerating natural healing processes in conditions like arthritis, sciatica, and repetitive strain injuries.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are designed to correct foot imbalances, alleviating pain in the feet, knees, hips, and back. Using foam impressions, our physiotherapists create personalized devices that improve alignment, stability, and gait efficiency. These orthotics benefit athletes, individuals with arthritis, and those experiencing discomfort from prolonged standing or walking, ensuring optimal foot function and reducing strain on joints through tailored support.
Running Evaluation
Running evaluations assess biomechanics and technique to prevent injuries and enhance performance. Two-session assessments include physical exams, injury history reviews, and outdoor track analysis to identify inefficiencies. Personalized training plans address muscular imbalances, footwear needs, and form adjustments, helping runners of all levels improve endurance, speed, and injury resilience while optimizing stride mechanics for long-term athletic success.
