Reviews of Motion Matters Physiotherapy - Physiotherapy Ottawa (Physiotherapist)

Judy Kroeker

I have been very impressed with the staff at Motion Works, from Nicky at the front desk (always pleasant and helpful), Cassie who has been so professional and personal at the same time (she has strived to make me pain free, by sticking needles in me ????), Kim who I have only seen twice (but am very impressed) and all those young ladies that manage the tens machine (always a relaxing way to end an appointment).

My physiotherapist Donna had me up and at it in no time. The clinic is very clean and the staff is awesome! Thank you so much!

Experience was okay. Felt that there was not enough guidance for my injury and did receive the workouts in a timely matter. Location is decent especially if you are located downtown. Left this location after two sessions.

Earle DePass

I have really enjoyed being a patient of Katht at Motion Matters. Her care and follow up, along with that of the support staff, before and after my car accident has been wonderful.

Kristina Kolonko

Great staff, cleaned clinic, fait pricing. Clinic boasts a large selection of skilled therapists who are passionate about what they do and keeping updated on latest techniques.

Taheera Walji

My experience at Motion Matters has been great. Kathy took the time to understand my concerns and tailor my treatments and exercises accordingly. In a matter of weeks, I’ve felt much better and learned a great deal on how to continue with the recovery process. Would recommend Motion Matters to anyone in the downtown core looking for friendly and effective PT.

This review is long overdue. I am a TCM practitioner here in Ottawa. I have known Donna for 15 years. She is also an acupuncturist. We have quite a few mutual patients. We all speak highly of this wonderful caring person and her services. Donna leads a great team of health professionals. They adopt a total health philosophy, connecting mind, body and lifestyle improvement. They embrace a variety of modalities, such as nutrition, massage therapy and acupuncture. Patients benefit tremendously from their one-on-one and hands-on sessions. Their well-equipped modern clinic is filled with calm, relaxed zen atmosphere. I recommended Donna and her team highly for holistic physiotherapy!

I had a great experience with Michelle Bergeron, one of Motion Matters top notch physiotherapists. She not only quickly got to the root of my problem and helped me to get out of pain, she created a detailed exercise plan to address the underlying imbalances. I'm happy to say that since then I haven't had any problems. I have since referred several people to Motion Matters/Michelle and they have all had fantastic experiences. If you're looking for a great physio clinic downtown, you're in the right place!

The physiotherapist expertly figures out my issue and sets me on a course that gets me back to proper functioning and no pain every time.

Said Madi

I love this place so much . everyone from the receiption to the staff who works at this location is friendly caring and super professional. I went for physiotherapy after an ACL operation and the level of care was amazing . They got modern equipment and machines to help you heal faster. My physiotherapist Kathy is super detail oriented and knowledgable. She constantly measured, documented and supervised all my exercises and progress. She gave many helpful tips and variations that made every exercises more comfortable and effective. The assistants (Emily and Soheila) are amazing at thier work, attentive and caring. They make sure you are comfortable and that the place is clean and ready at all time. The price and location is very good which also helps the experience I would recommend this place for everyone who wants a detail oriented professional care that will get you back to a better you in a timely manner.

I had several sessions over the course of a few months with Emma Madigan. I thought she did a great job helping me rehab my Achilles tendon. She was very accommodating with scheduling, she knew what exercises were important for my particular injury and she employed several modalities to accelerate the healing, including Graston/blading. The support staff from the technicians to the front desk was also great. I did not have insurance so we scheduled appointments at a frequency I was comfortable with even though it may have not been ideal from a physio standpoint. I definitely recommend her as a physiotherapist.

BETTY EDWARDS

Excellent care - I love the exercise component.

Lily Lin

Excellent staff, they take care of you. My physiotherapist takes the time to understand my issue and tries to resolve it. Definitely recommend this place.

Sylvain Cardinal

I started my treatments in the Spring 2018 for lower back chronic pain and I am happy to report that my last appointment was August 6, 2018 with no more pain. My Physiotherapist, James Schuster, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, patient and very professional. I highly recommend Motion Matters as a great physiotherapy clinic.

Ewan Masta

Great place and cool atmosphere.

Jody Lobb

I've been a client of Motion Matters several times over the past 8 years and the service and professionalism is always excellent. Their therapists are highly skilled and experienced. They take the time to explain the assessment results and work to set up a treatment plan that suits my lifestyle and abilities. Both Kathy and Emma are fantastic. Highly recommended!

Fred Dixon

I am very happy with their service and recommend it to my friends. I had a persistent knee injury that had been bothering me for over two years. I booked an assessment with one of their physiotherapists and, after 30 minutes of tests, they identified the root cause. A few months later, thanks to their care and treatment, I recovered and can now bike again. I highly recommend Motion Matters to anyone who is looking for physio in Ottawa.

Sam Jack

The best in town! Dedicated staff with great knowledge and smile. They have been very helpful and kept me going for many years...

John Nguyen

Very convenient location for those of us working downtown with extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have been back over the past 7 years for various injuries and the staff has always been able to take great care of me. Thank you!

Mimo J.

I had my first experience at motion matters . It was certainly a positive one. Welcoming front staff and the therapist took his time to listen to my concerns and treat my injury. I have no doubt booked a second appointment.. very much recommended..

Michelle Bergeron is excellent. I had a hip injury and she took great care of me. I found her really attentive and professional. Would highly recommend going to Michelle for any injury rehab but particularly a sports related injury.

Tim Jolly

I wholeheartedly recommend Motion Matters, and especially James Schuster. All of the employees that I encountered are extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, and James in particular exemplifies both of these qualities. He is everything you could ask for in a physiotherapist, and it is no surprise that I have recovered quickly under his exceptional care.

Daniel Ernest Renaud

I have been going to Motion Matters for over 15 years now, on and off, for all kinds of aches, pains and mishaps. Getting old and being out of shape sucks, but the staff and team of physiotherapists have always been TOP NOTCH professionals. With Monate, Vanessa and now Kathy, I have always been treated well and received great care from the physiotherapists. The support staff, Elizabeth, Soheila, and others, are awesome to deal with and make you feel valued and important. Great services, great team! Highly recommended!

Marc Saner

Went to see Pierre Perron at MotionMatters for chronic (and suddenly painful) problems with my achilles. I have to say, he not only cured my pain but gave me clear information on what to do, what not to do, what is known and what is not known. Based on my experience, you can respectful, pleasant, gentle, informative, and successful treatment!

Oxana Sawka

Love the staff.. so caring and so competent! I have referred many friends and, they have all been pleased and impressed !! Bravo to all!! Oxana

Adalgisa Portaccio

Great physio place! Joëlle is very knowledgeable and caring. Her pilates classes are great because she pays attention to every student. Yoga classes are recommended as well because Stephanie explains the poses and how to avoid injuries. Elizabeth and Erin, the receptionists, are very helpful and always willing to accommodate client's needs. Hours are flexible and there's also a gym at a very reasonable rate.

nick F

I can’t thank the staff at Motion Matters, but especially John Campagna, enough for their professional, accommodating and always friendly support while I navigated post-surgery rehabilitation of a fractured wrist. I was concerned that I’d never regain enough mobility to resume yoga, cycling and all the things we take for granted before an accident stops us in our tracks, but once again I’m able to do arm balances! Throughout physio John was unfailingly kind, gracious, and knowledgeable - he often had me laughing through sometimes painful sessions. Thank you!

Sabrina Andee

I love the team at Motion Matters. They provide excellent treatment and service.

Ian Johnson

Very happy with the service I received for my back issues. Very convenient location... close to my work.

Curtis Lutwick

Received excellent treatment from Eslin. She accurately diagnosed my injury and provided a treatment plan that got me back to my physically demanding job very quickly.

Danielle Morgan

I have been seeing Donna at Motion Matters for issues with TMJ. She has been absolutely amazing and I feel great when I leave. She has given so many exercise to do at home to help improve the mobility of the jaw. The team is also great, very friendly and always remembers your name. They are very friendly and accommodating! What a great place!

Lesley Cooke

Great place. Quick wonderful team approach service. *****

Ashley Taylor

Very thorough diagnostic appointment from Eslin. It was a real game changer in my medical recovery plan. After very few treatments, I was up and running again! Fantastic service!

Harold L.

Very good physiotherapists. Highly recommend

corey allard

I've been to a few physio clinics and this one has them all beat by a long shot! Strongly recommend Kelly

Lynne G

I've been going here for various sports injuries over the years and working with Emma for the past two years following a serious bike crash. She is amazing!

Brenna Belland

I can't recommend this clinic enough. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and work really hard to find solutions for whatever your problem is. Shout out to Eslin and Stephanie for all their help and guidance.

John Staskow

Great downtown Ottawa location with outstanding physio practitioners who are miracle workers. The front office staff are well organized, friendly and efficient. I have been a patient for over two years and highly recommend the Clinic to everyone.

John Helsdon

I have been a client of Motion Matters for over 15 years. They have consistently helped me recover from injuries and I highly recommend them. The front desk, physiotherapists and assistants are all fabulous. Regardless of the reason for my visit they always tailored the in clinic treatment and my stretches and exercises to treat the issue. If you need a physiotherapist do not hesitate to call Motion Matters.

Sharon Behrendt

Called this clinic weeks ago to speak to their "hip replacement specialist". Was assured she would call me back. When she didn't I called back a second time and was reassured she would. That was weeks ago now. They have lost clients forever.

Wendy Hepburn

Motion Matters is exceptional - I have have had the pleasure of working with a number of physios there, and they are highly qualified, professional, and determined to properly diagnose and treat acute and chronic injuries. Stephanie Therrien in particular is spectacular, as are Eslin, Kathy, Susan, and Pierre. The team that supports them are also great: Elizabeth, Suhaila, Erin, and Jane! Highly recommended.

Arafat Khan

I tried motion matters on the recommendation of a friend as I had a lot of pain in my shoulders from a workout injury. I didn't have a lot of hopes when I came in because I understood that these injuries take a lot of time to recover. However, I was very surprised when I actually received the treatment. I was feeling much better after just 1 session alone. Aaron the physiotherapist was extremely patient with me and helped me a lot in my recovery and getting back to the gym. I will always be very grateful to Aaron and the team at Motion matters for helping me with this injury.

Amy Maillet

I can't say enough about the amazing skills of Stephanie Therrien and the Motion Matters team! With her combination of yoga physio, Stephanie is able to not only treat your injury but also show you ways to strengthen your body to help avoid the injury in the first place by setting you up with the right set of exercises to build not only your strength but also your confidence in proper movement.

A. I.

Best Physio I’ve ever been to and God knows I’ve been to a lot. Susie truly helped me to understand my problem and how avoid it in the future.

Wayne Joy

Exceptional service, friendly and professional staff in a great location.

Silvana Bolano

Donna is a fantastic physiotherapist who provided me with exceptional service and helped me get back on my feet after an injury. I highly recommend her (and have already recommended her to friends). The clinic is also very clean and I felt very safe as they were taking excellent precautions during this pandemic.

Steven D

MotionMatters was recommended to me by someone in the physiotherapy trade and I can see why. The downtown Ottawa location is really convenient and working with Emma M. has been great. I’ve seen progress in my recovery from a knee injury each week and staff have always been very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Triona Thomas

Five-star staff and a five-star service! Everyone at Motion Matters are great. For my sciatic nerve injury, both Donna and Anna have been helping me to recover. They have been fantastic. They listen, they explain, they motivate, and they give me the right level of challenge in my home exercises to keep me moving along the road to full movement. I have been to other clinics but these ladies put them in the shade! I really thought I wouldn't get my flexible body back after I injured it but now I know I will. I strongly recommend Motion Matters Physiotherapy.

Mike Balzich

I found that the care I received at Motion Matters was excellent. The staff were kind and friendly, and made my experience very satisfying. I would certainly recommend this clinic to anyone.

Rebecca Brooke

This is the best physio clinic in Ottawa hands-down. They are very professional. The clinic is very well-run. Most of all they have an amazing team. Everyone from the receptionists, the assistants, and the physios are very kind and are there to help you get better. I had an excellent physio who took the time to really understand my issues and help me get back to full function. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Marilyn Miller

Motion Matters Rehab is a very special place where my PT is very Knowledgeable, encouraging, and always has new exercises to help gain my mobility back. With Motion Matters excellent treatment, I am getting my life back after 7al years with little progress.

Stephanie Smith

Motion Matters is a great physio clinic and all of the staff are friendly and encouraging. Stephanie T has helped me through several injuries. I am now focussed on prevention and I love the yoga classes! The classes are small and the instruction is excellent with lots of individual attention. I highly recommend the clinic and the classes.

Andy D

A really nice clinic with very professional staff at the front desk!

peter mcilroy

This is an outstanding Physio clinic that will change your life.

Sam Neale

I've worked with both Eslin and Aaron and had great experiences with both of them.

Motion Matters is a great clinic that offers the highest level of support and service. Eslin helped me through an ACL injury, surgery and recovery and continues to help me with my fitness goals.

Megan Martel

Excellent and friendly staff who take the time to help you get back to your regular activities.

Carol Brigham

I would highly recommend Motion Matters - great location, nice staff and highly qualified physiotherapists. For the past three years I have used Stephanie T. to assess and treat my sports injuries. In addition, I have started using the personal training program which is excellent for injury prevention.

Spike Lyne

These folks are the best, always so helpful and understanding. Always feel so supported and welcome from the moment I walk in the front door.

Mireille lacroix

I love Motion Matters! You are treated well with care and attention not only with the therapists you are seeing but from the entire staff. They are flexible, accommodating and do everything with a smile and kindness. The therapists are very competent and professional.

The first time I went was for sciatic nerve. Kathy had me walking on the first visit. She gave me exercises to do. Two more visits and that was that. I was pain free. I only need to do the exercises, now, should the pain come up, again, and the pain is gone. A year later, I now go for IT band and gluteus issues which have taken years to develop I'm told. Very painful. We are getting it resolved. Kathy can quickly identify the issues and educate me as to what is happening and how we will resolve it.

Wendy Goodman

Kathy is the best! Previously to seeing Kathy, I spent 6 months of physio at another place. After 6 months, I saw no improvement. After about one month of exercises from Kathy, I felt so much better! I have a very physical job so Kathy tailored my exercises so not only was I in less pain (back, hip, pelvis), but I was stronger for my job! I highly recommend Kathy!

selina gasolina

After a surgery, I got very out of shape, and exacerbated a long time back issue. I was in pain all the time. Since seeing James, my pain is decreased, I'm getting stronger, sleeping better, and enjoying longer walks and bike rides. Thank you!!!
