Reviews of Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sport Clinics - Westboro (Physiotherapist)

Anna McGillis

Bert at the clinic is amazing! By the end of my consultation he had my knee diagnosed and had a treatment plan in place. I was given weekly exercises to help strengthen my knee, hip, and lower back and in just a little over a month my knee was back to normal and pain free. I can’t thank Bert enough for helping me get my knee back to normal after over a year of excruciating pain. I highly recommend this clinic as well, it is very clean and very well maintained. I will definitely be coming back if I injure myself again. Thanks again!

Drew Czernik

Great staff. They've helped me on two separate injuries and both times it's been a great recovery.

Diana Riabko

Mr. Richard Penning has help me a lot with my lower back pain. The best place i can go for my physio. All stuff are very friendly and its really fun to be a part of there team. I will 100% recommend this place to my family and friend.

Mohamed Farah

I go here 4 times a month, and they great. Very helpful, patient and careful individuals all-around. I recommend this place to anyone rehabilitating from a car accident or any injury.

Ben vdH

Top notch, in every aspect of the business. I had the pleasure of working with Richard. Not only was he super nice and inviting, he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Seriously can’t recommend this place (and Richard) any higher. Ben

Russell Bilodeau

After moving to Ottawa in 2016 it took me a while to find a good physiotherapist to do regular maintenance on my stiff neck and deal with sports injuries that come up every now and then from my running, skiing and cycling. He's helped me considerably with improving the range of motion on my neck with treatment and exercise routines to do on my own. He is now my go to resource for any issues that life throws at me and I highly recommend him.

Joel Bisson

This is a provider that takes health and wellness seriously. When entering, Covid screening is taken very seriously. My physiotherapist, Lesley Baker is thoughtful, analytical, and just an all-round good person. I once came in a little early only to find Lesley and the staff working together on new techniques to improve their skills. I highly recommend Leslie and the staff at the Ottawa Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic - Westboro

In June, I went to OPTSC on Churchill Avenue for help with a 'frozen shoulder.' It was extremely painful and very limiting, by far the worst physical issue I've had to deal with in my 50+ years. I don't know what I would have done without Marlee Held's exceptional treatment and kind support. She was knowledgeable, professional, persistent, careful, communicative, and an absolute pleasure to work with (and she did get me to work! :). I was especially grateful for the extra steps she took to advise my doctor of my symptoms, prompting further action on his part. I am happy to report that, because of Marlee, my shoulder is almost fully back to normal - and I will definitely continue with her recommended exercises to regain strength. I have no hesitation in recommending that you seek her support if you need physiotherapy for any issues that are causing you pain or limiting your physical abilities. ~Elizabeth

Great service and staff, helped me a lot with various pains/injuries over the years and my “weekend warrior” career!

Alexandre Bellevue-Halaby

One of the best physiotherapy clinic by far. Theo is a great professional and well knowledgeable by providing great rehab program and treatments. With his help, I’m now back on the soccer field at my best. Also, great staff with a great atmosphere!

Carrie Roussin

Great physiotherapists but overall administration could be improved. After filling out an eform before each visit to confirm that you haven't been out of country or exposed to covid, you also have to verbally respond to the very same questions which is redundant and time-consuming. Org relies on generic templated emails that don't always make sense in circumstances. Other than that, convenient hours, location and talented physiotherapists.

Bill K

I am completely satisfied with the Westboro Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic. Everyone is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I have dealt with them on two separate occasions. About 2 years ago and again recently. Their performance is excellent.

Matt Butler

I’ve been to the Westboro location for a number of injuries over the years, and they have always been sympathetic and provided great care and guidance that has always gotten me back to 100%

Wade Hawkins

I had a great experience overall at the clinic. I had no problems getting appointments, the location was very convenient for me, and the staff were fantastic. They really helped me out both with understanding my problem and with helping to fix it. I couldn't find anything negative to say if I wanted to. The bottom line is I would recommend this clinic to anyone I know and I know where to go the next time I have an injury.

Amanda Brandimore

Kam is a very knowledgeable and professional physiotherapist. He explains his approaches in treating injuries with clarity and has helped me many times during my injuries through trail running.

Adam Chubbs-Payne

When I first went to the Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sport Clinic I was was having left knee pain while running and biking that was getting to the point of impacting my well-being. I met with Kirstie over a span of 3-4 weeks where I was given a complete functional analysis, targeted motor exercises, and progressive loading movements. With Kirstie's knowledge and encouragement, as well as the help of the Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sport team, I was able to address my motor deficits, re-build my strength, and get on the road towards recovery. I would highly recommend Kirstie and her team to any motivated individuals looking for physiotherapy assistance!

Shaun Scholtz

Been going here for a while. Amazing staff.

Anda Vulpoiu

Kirstie is amazing and extremely knowledgeable and takes care of my complex issues really well. Excellent service in general!

Janessa Mann

Marlee was a great pelvic floor specialist after I had my baby. I'm grateful to her for helping me get back to running and powerlifting.

Diane Spencer

Th Physio treatment I was given at Ottawa Physiotherapy for an injured MCL was very thorough and key to my recovery. Luca was an excellent therapist who provided a wonderful variety of exercises along with his treatments to ensure I would be able to return to my activities as soon as possible. The Sunday morning vibe amongst the staff and patients was also super. I will surely be back the next time I need physio.

Emily O'Connor

My husband and I both had fantastic experiences with Bert. I saw him for back pain that I had had for years and within a couple of months it was gone. Gone. I was so happy with the results that I recommended him to two good friends and will continue to recommend him!

Anna Kim

Physiotherapists Kirstie Gillanders and Jessica Thompson treated me on several different occasions for issues that I was having. They are both amazing! Skilled and knowledgeable. A pleasure to work with and lots of fun even if they're making me do exercises that I really don't want to do. The follow through to ensure that I'm doing better and the care for their patients is top notch. I can now say that I'm fully healed and only require maintenance going forward. I would highly recommend them and the office staff at the Churchill location.

Camille Green-Philippe

Great service and the therapy is yielding results. Thank you Dr Marlee!

David Berman

Team Andrew rocks: innovative, precise, clear, upbeat, on time. Wishing them a happy note across the street to even better digs!

Qillir

This place cares. New here but loving it.

Margaret Jans

Marlee was a wonderful therapist. Patient, understanding, and kind. She did not make me go to extremes to add in the physio movements which greatly helped my sciatica and imbalances which underlay. Each week we added 1-2 more movements, or made the current ones more difficult. She was understanding of my need to keep physio time-limited due to small insurance coverage as a student and addressed the issues quickly, allowing me to do much of the work at home, rather than making me come into the clinic a lot. As an athlete, I appreciated that she did not try to dissuade me from my activities, but rather, to find a happy balance between the discomfort that it might cause and the benefit that i gain from certain levels and types of activity. Much appreciated Marlee.

Candice Armstrong

Great physio, great people! Will give you exercises to do on-site and at home, has tens and acupuncture available as well.

roger aramouni

Knowledgeable and friendly staff at the Orleans location. Pulled my hamstring on my right leg while playing soccer 3 weeks prior to me leaving on a 5 months vacation and Julien managed to reduce the pain and swelling I had. Thanks Julien, back golfing and playing tennis in Florida now. Roger

Ruth Wiber

Andrew is excellent

Tim Skelly

Kirstie was extremely easy to work with, very professional, and got me back to work in no time. Thanks!

Janet Glendenning

I highly recommend Ottawa Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic. Professional and courteous and most importantly, very knowledgeable.

Elliott Buckland

Marlee was fantastic! Took great care of my injured shoulder, fixed me up, and left me with some helpful maintenance exercises. Definitely recommend!

Aidan Fritz-Millett

As a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner I am always bumping into different injuries: back, shoulder, ankle, etc. Kamil has been amazing in developing plans to get me working towards being back at 100%.

Andrew M

Awesome staff. Getting great results

Todd Shannon

As a dedicated runner who had a setback during a big training block, I needed a clinic that understood my circumstances and would help get me back on track. Lesley over delivered. She diagnosed the issue(s), worked on strengthening and prevention, while still allowing me to keep my fitness and training up to a reasonable degree, and on preparing me for the big day. I now feel even stronger and more resilient than the day I walked through the doors.

Shaun Scholtz

Amazing staff. Very helpful and knowledgable. Gone back several times for my knee and they nailed exactly what was wrong and what was needed.

Julia

Great staff, friendly atmosphere.

Bernard Durand

Great therapist but I would give you an extra star if only you cared for your clients and provide them with a coat rack and perhaps a hook in order to hang our winter jacket, shirt or pants, during my treatment as oppose to be hard pressed to find a suitable place on the one and only one chair, beside the treatment table, where there is already two pillows occupying the chair. Update as of February 28, 2019 I have since took my business elsewhere. Glad to report the other place on Wellington Street offers what is important to me, a place for my winter coat and they only have private room for the treatments.

Keith Willey

excellent

Mathieu Boutin

First time going to a physio therapy clinic at all, and must say I loved my experience! Didn't really care about the coat rack, what I cared about was receiving good care! I was taken in charge by Julien Trapeau and I recommend him to anybody! Was simply really really good! Speaks English, French and gave me great advices to restore my condition as fast as possible. He knows his stuff! If whenever I need to go back to see a physio, I will definitely go back to see Julien at this clinic in Westboro! People are nice and welcoming!

Donna Rennie

I have been to several physiotherapists over the last few years to resolve my back issues. Jo at Ottawa Physio & Sport in Westboro was the first to discover and address the root cause of my reoccurring issues I now feel I’m finally on the right track to making a full recovery. I cannot express enough how thankful I am to find back pain relief. Jo is truly an angel. Thank you Jo!

micheline leclerc

Thanks Marlee - you shared with me your knowledge. Excellent treatments and support.

cheryl brownlie

Professional, friendly, expert care. Kirstie helped get me back on my feet - literally! I was reluctant to seek physiotherapy because of the pandemic, but the clinic more than met Covid-19 safety standards. Excellent care - thank you!!

Jacqueline Mantle

Jessica is awesome in providing effective physiotherapy services! Can't imagine going anywhere else. I enjoy the friendly, relaxed and fun atmosphere of the clinic - everyone there is great!

Tamanna Hossain

Great ambiance, great stuff, very cordial and thorough. Theo is my physio and he is very, very qualified and takes time to check. Highly recommended

Mandy Witteman

Great place - Highly recommend Bertrand Lim!

Laszlo Kovacs

Knowledgable & supportive staff!

Tatiana Seitkhalilova

Last spring, I tore the meniscus of my right knee which put me in a wheelchair. Orthopedic doctors said that my knee needed surgery.Someone recommended Westboro Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic to me, even if my injury was not sports related. I was so fortunate to meet Julien who took care of my knee! Using massage and exercises, Julien was able to restore my ability to walk and move around. No traces of injury, not even a limp! My knee feels like new. No surgery needed! When recently I had a problem with the other knee, I knew where to turn! Thank you, Julien, for your expertise, skill and care!

Glen Tremblay

Very knowledgeable people. Got to the root of the problem for my shoulder and began treating it immediately. Would highly recommend to anyone.

A Gohari.

Excellent service

Karuna Lakkineni

I have been in consultation with Ottawa Physiotherapy for several months. I am very satisfied with their approach. Julien T. was very helpful with his in-depth knowledge on the subject. He was very professional in his way of treating patients. I sincerely recommend Ottawa Physiotherapy.

Richard Simpson

Was referred to this clinic by a friend and I couldn't be happier.

Amanda Blazevic

Kirstie has been amazing, and has helped me so much with my back...she had the problem diagnosed quickly and has given me exercises that work. I can't be thankful enough!

Sandra Macinnis

Excellent therapist. Extremely knowledgeable, real results fast. Highly recommend.

Marlene Patrick

Strong on patient engagement and empathy

Dan Kennedy

Very good physio in all aspects. Assessment was thorough and good excercises were prescribed for home. The weekly visits reinforced the home excercises and kept me on track and progressing.

KB

Lucas is a true professional, He sought out the right solutions to ease my pain.Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Delaney Anderson Fudge

Everyone from the front desk to the Massage therapist and physio, Fantastic!!!

Pearl Jaekel

My experience at the Churchill Ave site was amazing. . The physio therapists are Friendly, competent, encouraging, patient, and always work as a team. My therapist was Lucus and he worked hard to get me rehabilitated and functioning well . This was through covid and it also helped me mentally during lockdown. Any of the therapists would walk by and encourage you as well. Physio certainly helps you overcome injuries and get you able to function normal lives again. Many thanks for all your help and care

Rob Dobson

This is the second time I have been to see Julien and am very happy with the progress. I am also quite impressed with how he works with his student.

O M

A big thanks to Theo! He helped me to recover following a meniscus surgery. I especially appreciate that he took the time to explain how the joint works, and what was going on inside my knee as I recovered. Best physiotherapist I’ve had so far.

Fr. Doug Hayman

I have found them to be friendly, attentive and professional. Thanks especially to Bert for his care.

Food Basil

Kirsten is the best!!!

David Munden

I gave this 2 stars for the owners of the clinic, but 5 stars for therapists Halli, Jessica and Cam. No light in the front footwear room, you have to pre-arrange for a private treatment otherwise you are in an "open curtain" area where everyone can hear full assessment details, or hear your details for that matter. No place to hang your coat or bag, just throw it on the floor. Front desk manager is wonderful. The new clinic is light years ahead of the old shack, but sterile walls make it like an asylum. I want to like the clinic, but I don't. I like the therapists. The business model of the place does not suit the demographic of clientele I've witnessed over the last two years. Meh.

Hesham M

I had a severe pain in my back, affecting my leg. Many doctors didn't get the right definition to the pain. My family doctor recommended Theo. He diagnosed my pain due to nerve entrapment, I followed his insturctions. Got a great progress, enventually I could run again without pain.

Darcy Polasek

I was recommended to Kirstie by a friend. She did not disappoint. Knowledgeable, personable and so nice. The whole clinic was first rate. I highly recommend them!

Marie Fiala

Friendly knowledgeable staff provide excellent guidance for speedy recovery!

Edward Cabrera

I started feeling knee pain that would flare up when I would squat or do lunges to the point where I could not go up or down stairs without pain. I started seeing Julien and Marlee for treatment and they sorted out my knee pain and helped me with my form during lifts. They are both awesome. I would 100% recommend them.

Natalie Paille

One of the best places in Ottawa for physio therapy. I went in for Bell’s Palsy and recovered fully in 2 weeks. Then we continued on with post concussion exercises and I’ve never felt any better. Highly recommend Kristie !! But the others sound to have the best attitudes, making the environment an easy going, fun place.

Moises Freitas-Andrade

I had a chronic back issue that bothered me for years. When I started with Julien, I was not sure he could help since my issue was so chronic. However, his persistence and knowledge resolved my issue. The people at Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sports Clinics are professional, highly skilled, knowledgable and competent. More importantly, they really care about your wellbeing and find solutions to your physical issues.

Jennifer Matthew

Great clinic! Booking is easy, staff are friendly and the therapists know their stuff. I decided to come in to work on some sports-related injuries that were starting to bother me. Marlee has been helped me identify and strengthen weak points so that I stay healthy and injury free. Would recommend her to anyone!

Khuloud Karazi

Great place for physio for kids too.Julien was awesome with my son. Thank you:)

Robert McMullen

Excellent and professional service with Kirstin

Ste Dimstedim

Great and, above all, very professional service, including e-mail follow-ups and communication with my family doctor.

Raphael Solomon

I came to physiotherapy with an injured hip. The injury was bad enough that I had pain bending over to pick things up and walking at a reasonable pace. The quality of physiotherapy I received was superb. My therapist suggested sequences of exercises that, combined with the treatments she gave, were effective both at eliminating my pain and strengthening my hips so the injury is less likely to recur. I recommend this place highly.

Yanie Forgues

I have been seeing Jessica RPT for different physical conditions and she has managed to help me heal every little thing I have bee seeing her for with the hands on manipulations combined with the exercises she recommamded me to do at home. She is excellent, very knowledgeable and has great personality . I really like her.
