Reviews of Function Physiotherapy (Physiotherapist)

Amanda Benwell

Janik is an amazing and knowledgable physiotherapist. She explains everything to you and makes you feel so comfortable during every appointment! She's a definite expert in her field! Highly recommend if you need pelvic floor physio.

AJ N'goran

Brad is an amazing, caring physiotherapist. He took the time to really listen to my problems and with his help, my neck pain is virtually gone. I truly recommend to go see him. The free coffee at the clinic helps too :P

Michaela Tokarski

I was referred to FXN Physio after a concussion and saw Laura several times. She was always friendly, and listened attentively. She helped me find exercises that would help reduce the pain bit by bit. I am so grateful to have found FXN Physio as this approach has really helped. Highly recommend.

For two thousand years before Pasture proved germs existed bloodletting was in full rage in many cultures with little variations here and there. Diagnosis: Chronic headaches Treatment: Bloodletting! Diagnosis: Fever Treatment: Bloodletting! Diagnosis: Mental illness Treatment: Bloodletting!!! Brad zeros into the root cause and provides personalized treatment. I am glad I randomly found FXNPhysio; it was the best thing that happened to me - few months ago. Thanks for not bloodletting :)

Nadine Dyck

Brad and his team are great! The office has a welcoming and relaxing vibe. I saw Brad a few times for a shoulder/neck injury and he really helped with pain relief and gave me the confidence to start building more strength. Great new addition to the neighbourhood!

Daniel Loos

Brad is great. Understands the problems and gets to work quietly and effectively

Andrew Novosad

The staff at FXN were very welcoming, and even offered me refreshments. I received dry needling as well as other treatments, and was relieved of an injury I've received physiotherapy for plenty of times previously without success. I'm excited to support this local business again soon!

Tessa Degroot

Comfortable and modern clinic. Staff is friendly, welcoming and very understanding. It’s surprisingly a pleasure to attend appointments.

I came to Justin, due to being a childhood friend and he being a fellow weight lifter, I knew Justin could relate to my perspective. I met with Justin for the first appointment at Function Physiotherapy, my main complaint of lower back pain and a completely modified weight lifting program because of the pain. After an in depth assessment, Justin was keen to get us in the gym, and get me doing the exercises i had purposely avoided, Such as squats, deadlifts, bent over rows etc. Justin came to the gym and worked hands on with my form and bracing techniques, and had me squatting for the first time in months pain free. The trend continued throughout our 4 appointments, and I can proudly say I continue to lift pain free and with proper form without any modifications to my programing or life.

Anna Trojnar

I had persistent pain in my neck and shoulder and Brad diagnosed it immediately. Just after first visit I felt significant relief! Function addresses the causes of the problems and not the symptoms and that makes a whole world of difference! Plus they are bunch of really personable people and a visit there is always a pleasure :-)

Brad is amazing, had the pleasure of working with him too. Amazing, knowledgable and caring physiotherapist.

Tracy Milne

Staff are helpful and friendly

Patrick Blake

Great staff, at an amazing new clinic!

Michael howard

The best experience with a physiotherapist I have ever had. I had a lingering shoulder injury and Christian was able to diagnose my injury in my first session and gave me the tools and exercises I needed to go about healing it on my own. He offered me great knowledge and I found the sessions to be very useful and worth my time and money.

Zunayed Kareem

Really great place. The staff are super friendly and loved my physiotherapist, I had 3 sessions with him and seen great improvements with my ACL injury.

Yerke Abildayeva

I came here with a lower back pain. I received excellent service. Brad is very knowledgeable and skilled. He's definitely passionate about his work and cares for his patients. I only came for a few sessions because he was able to resolve my problem. The clinic is newly renovated and it has new equipment. It's clean and pleasant to sit in the waiting area.

Milos Lazarevic

One morning i woke up with a back problem and I could hardly move out of the bed. Friend recommended me FXN Physio and all i can say about it that Brad did an excellent job. It was around hour long therapy, including acupuncture, massage and stretching. He showed me couple of exercises which i've done at home (its a must to follow his instructions) and almost tomorrow I felt a pain relief. Staff is extremely friendly and they follow up with you long after you visited them. 10/10 would recommend!

Animus Anima

Very professional

Chris Kassotis

I'm dealing with a severe case of Vertigo. Still working on getting me better, but Anne is straightening me out slowly but surely. Disinfecting after each client, covid screening upon entering, great business.

Nadia Beatson

I initially went in to FXN with some concerns about knee pain while training for my half marathon. Brad and the entire team at FXN went above and beyond to really understand my concerns and gave me practical and easy exercises and solutions to not only resolve my pain but also to make me a better (and safer) runner in the long term. The at home strategies Brad suggested were both functional but also a little "out of the box" and fun, which made them really easy to implement in my normal training routine. I would definitely recommend FXN to anyone!

Sunshine In Sparks

Very helpful staff all around. Clean and updated place.

Andrew Top

Friendly, knowledgeable people. They're helping me get over a dislocated shoulder.

Cathy Croteau

Always look for a place where you spend a lot of time with the physio in a space with walls not curtains! These guys have a good space and a good approach.

Kirstin Fearon

When you walk into Function Physiotherapy, you are greeted by warm staff, a clean bright room, gorgeous colours and artwork. While the aesthetics of the office are pleasing, the real distinction of Function Physiotherapy is the care provided. The owner and therapist, Brad, provides one on one care in a private room. It is a wonderful upgrade in comparison to the communal room and support staff at other centres. This practice elevates the care for clients, when you make an appointment, you have that time dedicated with a physiotherapist. I’ve seen marked improvements in my injuries and a decrease in pain. I’m looking forward to continuing my support of this local business and can’t wait to see it grow.

Jenn W

FXN Physiotherapy are excellent and manage the line between being professional and also courteous/warm & friendly really well. Your concerns are both heard and listened to, you are fully consulted & involved in the process, and they find ways of helping you that work with your unique health situation. Their location has lots of on-street parking & is tastefully decorated & super clean. There are refreshments on offer at all times & it's a comfortable relaxing setting. It's always a pleasure to find a great business like this one & I will be returning.

Susan Top

Brad uses a hands-on approach that far outdoes the typical ultrasound machine physio appointment. He is kind and easy to talk to.

Omar Kana'n

Incredibly positive experience with Justin at Function Physiotherapy. He is very knowledgeable and will create a program that will work for you. I'm very happy with all the help that Justin provided me with. From going through and explaining the issue with my shoulder to showing me modifications to my workout to help me.

Steph L

They do excellent work

Maxime Yelle

I'm an athlete and have a lot of experience with various therapists and their approaches. I was extremely satisfied with my treatments at FXN Physiotherapy. I got treated by Brad, he really took his time to listen to ALL I had to say. He checked it all. He was able to connect the various infos and come to the root of the issue. His hands-on, manual techniques were helpful and then complimented with dry needling gave me near instant results. A few months later, and I'm still feeling the positive effects of his treatments! Very highly recommended.

Sharif Hasan

I visited the centre a few times and am super happy with their service. Brad is a wonderful therapist who would take time to listen to you and put his best to heal your pain. The whole atmosphere is very welcoming. I strongly recommend Brad and friends .

Bryan Delaney

This physiotherapy clinic in Old Ottawa South has a good location and a great staff. I've used this clinic on multiple occasions for various hockey injuries over the years. Laura Majtenyi has guided me through the rehab process and is highly recommended.

Brett Phillips

Function is a great physio clinic with very friendly staff. The physiotherapists were very knowledgeable and genuinely concerned with my recovery. The clinic has flexible hours and direct billing, both very helpful for getting appointments and keeping treatments affordable. Plus, it’s a nice environment to focus on feeling better. I would be happy to recommend the team at Function to friends and family!

GMan

Highly recommend Function Physiotherapy at 1185 Bank street in Ottawa!! I started to see Justin about 3 months ago on my doctors advice for ongoing back pain that has been around for almost 20 years. Justin was patient and methodical in working to determine the best options for my pain. He had me try a few different things until he landed on one therapy that has pretty much kept me pain from for over a month now. I am even able to go for runs again!! I would never have believed it possible to eliminate the pain I had for 20 years, but Justin was able to help me achieve that!! Function Physiotherapy is a very clean and friendly environment (even the young ladies at reception upon arrival are extremely professional and pleasant). I can't say enough about how great the service and treatment was from here! Thank you!

Jeroniya Inparajan

I had a positive experience working with Justin at Function Physiotherapy. I went to Justin with knee pain, and he helped me get back on my two feet. The exercises and the positive reinforcement that he gave me was exactly what I needed and my knee has improved so much and is in great condition now. The clinic is clean and comfortable and the staffs are super friendly. I'd fully recommend this clinic.

Tim Hewson

I've tried many physios in the area, including in the Glebe and at Carleton. I've had the best results at Function Physio. They don't just hook you up to a machine for half an hour. They manually work on your problem area. The booking, appointment, session and follow up is all perfect.

Hanna Fazal

I've had physiotherapy before and the treatment I received here was incredible and unbeatable. The private rooms, one on one time with Brad, and actual treatment/ care given was impeccable. Highly recommended for anyone!

Jo Patterson

This place is fantastic. Justin helped me get back to work after breaking shoulder from a fall. The exercises and the positive reinforcement that he gave me was exactly what I needed . I highly recommend this place

Albert Mai

Went to Brad for pain caused by a partial shoulder tear due to a skiing injury. In one session, I was able to move my left arm right up to the ceiling without any pain! Prior to that, I was unable to move it up past eye level. By my second session, the pain was all gone, and I was able to go back to doing shoulder workouts at the gym. Brad and his staff are all incredibly professional and I would recommend anyone go check them out for their physio needs. They can fix you without the need for surgery! Place is also super clean and sterilized well. Super important during a pandemic!

Shauna Connolly

Brad was wonderful, 5 stars!

Murray T

Nothing but good things to say about Brad and this business. I'd recommend Function Physiotherapy.

Katrina Pilkington

I came to Function because I had been experiencing nagging sciatic pain that for months hadn't been getting better. I'm a fairly active person and was really getting frustrated because it was stopping me from doing the things that I enjoy. I started receiving treatment from Laura, a kind and very knowledgeable professional who showed genuine concern for my comfort and for pursuing recovery at a safe pace. I was amazed at how effective her treatments were. I always left feeling significantly less pain (and also more relaxed). The chronic pain I had been experiencing began decreasing and decreasing, and I am now living happily pain free and able to do the things I love again!

K Tr

Brad is an awesome healer. Love working with him. Very hands-on.

Deborah Lightman

I was very impressed by Brad and the team at Function Physiotherapy and would highly recommend them. My visit was for a running-related injury and I felt that Brad got to the root of the problem.

Lise Rowan

I would highly recommend this clinic. You will not be disappointed! Brad and his staff are the best!!

Emanuelle Groleau

Everyone at the clinic is wonderful and attentive to each patient's needs. Overall had a more than great experience over a year of bi-weekly treatments at Function!

Danielle

Just had a massage therapy appointment with Neil and was the best therapy that I have received in nearly 10 years. The clinic was clean and welcoming, including the front desk staff. Neil's many years of practice are immediately apparent, and I particularly liked his holistic approach (mind and body). I came home raving about how great I felt and will highly recommend Neil to others! My next sports injury will allow me to try out their physio services as well :)

Greg N.

I highly recommend Function Physiotherapy for sports-related injuries. Working with Justin has been wonderful; he is extremely patient and understanding. His number one goal is to get you back to the activities you want to be doing. Justin tailored a rehab program for me after I sustained a knee sprain playing baseball. A great thing about working with Justin was being able to contact him with questions via email and receive a response before the next appointment. By that time, Justin would already have new exercises ready to specifically target the pain/stiffness I was experiencing so we could keep the recovery process going. For anyone dealing with an injury, just know that Justin will give you the preparation and confidence you need to get back to your desired activities. A huge part of the recovery process is the mental side of it and Justin can relate to you and truly understand what you’re going through while recovering.

Louis Cyr

I always a wonderful experience with Christian at this great, clean establishment. Always feels comfortable and welcoming walking through those doors! Jasmine on the front end is always so sweet and accommodating as well! They really know their way around making an experience like fixing my broken body into a day at the park!! 5 stars!!!!

Jessica Samson

I really enjoyed my experience at Function Physiotherapy. The staff is very welcoming and helpful, the clinic is clean and comfortable. I worked with Justin who was fantastic. He seems very knowledgeable, really takes the time to assess the situation, has great bedside manners and goes above and beyond to help you heal. He was even available via email to answer questions. I'd fully recommend this clinic.

Sara Prowse

I can’t say enough good things. Been to physio around the world. This is my favourite place by far.

Denise Umuhoza

Top-notch customer service, awesome/ knowledgeable physiotherapist, very calm and relaxing environment, always on time. Great experience everytime I go. I look forward to my appointments each week. So glad I found this place.

Belle Agufa

A very clean facility with the outmost of comfort. Came down here for some pelvic issues.

Tom Beggs

Justin is a great physiotherapist. He's super helpful and knowledgeable and really wants you to get better. Do the exercises he tells you to and you should be on the road to recovery in no time!

Matt Fraser

Excellent staff. Brad provided excellent care for a shoulder injury I had been dealing with for far too long. After a few treatments I rarely have issues with my shoulder. I would highly recommend this clinic.

Alex Haarbosch

My experience with Function Physiotherapy was incredibly positive. It took a long time for me to settle on which clinic I wanted to visit for my lower back issues, and after reading many (correct) positive reviews about Function, I decided to make an appointment. From the beginning they were incredibly friendly, had great communication, and it didn't take long at all for me to make an appointment. The front end staff were very welcoming and helpful, and my experience was positive from the start. Compared to some other clinics I'd visited with my issues, this was huge for me. Justin Mai (the therapist I consulted with) was incredibly helpful, both physically and mentally. He helped me to understand the pain I was experiencing, and how to move forward with it. Further to that, he was very open with communication, always keeping himself available if I ever had a question or concern, which I appreciated very, very much. All in all, couldn't recommend this place more. Thank you for all of your help!

Joe Ayoub

Made world of difference after one visit.

Deanna Poitras

I have been using their services since Brad opened up his own clinic. Brad us extremely knowledgeable and always willing to answer your questions or address your concerns. He reviewed my MRI report of my right shoulder with me and discussed my options including surgery. O have nothing but the up most confidence in their staff, particularly Brad.

Josh T

Went in for a Bulging disc in my back causing severe sciatica pain and saw Justin as my PT. I would highly recommend Function Physiotherapy and Justin. He was great and helped me get past this pain and got me back onto the golf course. The receptionist staff was also very wonderful, and was always helpful. If I need more PT (hopefully not) I will definitely return to Function Physiotherapy.

Julia G

A huge thank you to Brad and the team for helping me get better. I was dealing with awful chronic pain that was keeping me up at night and making me absolutely miserable for months. Brad was empathetic and professional- and came up with a treatment plan that got plan me back to being me within 2 weeks. I highly recommend Function Physiotherapy!

Jackson Eyres

Brand new extremely clean clinic with private rooms and ample free parking. Professional friendly staff who are compassionate knowing you are in pain.

David Langlois

Everyone at the clinic is super friendly and extremely helpful! I like that they have direct billing (I find it really annoying to deal with submitting to insurance). The space is modern and they open quite early, which helps with my full time schedule. Very impressed to find a physiotherapy clinic with really caring physiotherapists who listen and spend the entire treatment treating you. The complimentary coffee helps too for those early appointments :) Thanks everyone!

Tim Campanale

I have been going FXN for a torn rotator cuff injury, he tried multiple different things with me before I got my ultrasound done and were able to find out the root of problem. Brad Lafortune helped with the pain and increased my range of motion by using multiple different techniques like stretching and dry needling. After finding out my rotator cuff had been torn, my doctor suggested receiving a PRP injection, since then I have been seeing Brad and I have seen great results! My range of motion is getting better every week, the pain is constantly dimming and the exercises I have been given are constantly improving my mobility. Brad has been great for my recovery and I would suggest Function Physiotherapy to anyone looking to get better at a steady rate. Also the service is great and they always find a way to accommodate my appointment time, it makes it very easy for me to take some time out of my lunch to pop over for an appointment. Great Physiotherapist and establishment overall.

Vanessa Capeless

I went to Justin for a sprained ankle injury in July and he really helped me get back on my two feet! He encouraged me to continue training in the gym and gave me different exercises that would compensate for my injury. He made for a speedy and excellent recovery for me. I recommend seeing Justin and his lovely staff as well for any physio needs :) Thanks Again !

S

My initial appointment was with Laura, and I was impressed by her kindness, care, professionalism, and attention to detail. My go-to place now, would absolutely recommend them.

E Weiss

Thorough care. Started when back pain was severe,now for other injury. I was desperate for some relief & was glad I found Fxn physio.

S Wags

Brad is the best physiotherapist I've had. He is very knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously. I always recommend Fxn Physio to anyone who asks where to go.
