Life Therapies

At Life Therapies, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and effective healthcare solutions that promote optimal health and wellness. Established in 2000 by Elliot Vlad, a passionate and inspiring individual who has made a remarkable recovery from a near-fatal car accident, our clinic has evolved into a multidisciplinary healthcare center in Ottawa, Canada. With over two decades of experience and a commitment to continuous learning, our team of experts has developed a unique approach to healthcare that combines the best of traditional and alternative medicine.

A Personal Journey to Founding Life Therapies

Elliot Vlad's near-fatal car accident in Ireland led to him being told he would never compete again and would likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Devastated by this prognosis, Elliot spent years in physical therapy, teaching himself to walk again. This life-changing experience ignited a passion in him to help others find relief from pain and suffering. With the help of his partner, Tamara Bond-Vlad, a registered physiotherapist, Elliot founded Life Therapies with the goal of providing a comprehensive approach to healthcare that combines traditional medical practices with holistic and alternative therapies.
