Reviews of Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sport Clinics - Main Street (Physiotherapist)

Janice Nicholson

I highly recommend this group. I went in with a lot of questions and suffering a fair amount and their expert advice and treatment got me up and active in just a few short visits. They were friendly and knowledgeable, took the time to answer all my questions and made themselves available for follow ups should I need them. The treatment was on point and I am so thankful for the quick and responsive way I was tended to, particularly by Nish (Nishanth) who was knowledgeable, attentive and inquisitive and helped me get to the bottom of the issue. The facility staff were friendly and efficient, the had COVID protocols in place including a pre-screen and temperature taking upon arrival and they clearly paid attention to cleaning everything in between patients to reduce contact and maintain a clean environment. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I had never heard of Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic. I called on Tuesday and by Wednesday, I had my first appointment. Megan did an excellent job on my initial assessment. She told me how we will deal with my lower back pain. She touch on every point that I was looking. Very professional and know 's her business. My next appointment is tomorrow looking forward to it.

(Translated) I have tried several physiotherapy clinics for years and have never been able to cure my small (and medium) ailments 100%. From my first appointments Nishanth was able to make a fair assessment of my condition and give me effective treatments. Since being at this clinic, my physical health has improved so much. The clinic is very welcoming and everyone goes out of their way to provide you with a great experience. I highly recommend this clinic. (Original) J'ai essayé plusieurs cliniques de physiothérapie depuis des années et je n'avais jamais pu guérir mes petits (et moyens) bobos à 100%. Dès mes premiers rendez-vous Nishanth a pu faire une évaluation juste de ma condition et me donner des traitements efficaces. Depuis que je suis à cette clinique, ma santé physique est tellement mieux. La clinique est très accueillante et tout le monde font tout en leur possible pour vous offrir une belle expérience. Je recommande fortement cette clinique.

Tegan Chappell

I have been seeing Nish for a couple years for various sports related injuries. He is very thorough in his assessments and skilled at using this information to design effective treatment plans. Nish takes a client-centred approach and has provided me with excellent guidance to help me reach athletic goals I would not have thought were possible a couple years ago. If I could give more stars, I would.

Kimberley Ferguson

I highly recommend Chris as a physio! Chris provided me treatment to address vertigo. He was professional, patient, skilled and knowledgeable. Chris was attentive to my concerns and questions, and explained everything thoroughly. He followed up with me to check in on my progress and recovery.

Brad Wiesenfeld

Chris K is by far the best physiotherapist I have had in years. He is funny, relatable, thorough, and applies current research to each phsyio session. I started seeing him in October to fix a shoulder injury as well as knee injury. With his physio sessions, exercises and guidance I am back in shape stronger and sturdier than ever. This facility is great! All the staff are friendly and easy going. I highly recommend this physio clinic! Thank you Ottawa Physio and Chris!

Al W.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. A good diagnosis was made and the regular treatments seem to be working well.

François Gérin-Lajoie

This clinic is absolutely fantastic. The receptionists have always been kind and welcoming. Nishanth Kumar has been treating me for various injuries for many years, and he has done so with extreme knowledge, wisdom and generosity. His listening skills, his patience and his competencies as a physiotherapists are mind-boggling. I am grateful for such a positive experience. Thanks Nish!

Karen Hainstock

Wonderful space, delightful staff, and insights on some things I didn't realize were causing me pain! Great job team!

Marija Majdoub

Great clinic and staff. Nish is a very knowledgeable, skilled and attentive physiotherapist, I highly recommend him. Justin is one of the best massage therapists I've had.

Alana Duncan

I've been in and out of physio and other therapies for nearly 20 years. Nish and Caray know their stuff. They are really invested in making sure you see improvement and can do the activities you enjoy.

Patricia Lee

Nish at the Main Street location is excellent. Nish took the time to really understand my pain points and looked at my body as a whole, not just a sore body part! Based on my experience with other physios, I ignored a nagging injury for years. A broken arm brought me to Nish, who is also addressing that nagging injury that I've been ignoring! He is knowledgeable, creative with exercise choice, and has excellent bedside manner. Highly recommended!

Noah Smith

I like all the exercises Dhiya showed me. Even though it has been a long time, I still use them when I run and my foot hasn't hurt for a long time. Thank you Dhiya! Sabrina, age 10

Al Leduc

Great and friendly service

Crysta

Very professional atmosphere. Physiotherapists are extremely knowledgeable and use patient education as a tool in achieving recovery. This will be me go-to for any future physio /massage therapy needs.b

Camille Rodriguez

Caray is very professional, engaging, and knowledgeable. All the staff is very friendly! I’m glad I found them to help my ankle get back on track!

Katie O'Hearn

I have been to many physio clinics throughout my life, but this one stands out by far as the best. Nish is extremely knowledgeable and really listens to you. He also does a great job of explaining what is going on with your injury and how the exercises he prescribes will help you. All the staff are very friendly. If you are looking for a physio in Ottawa, I highly recommend this clinic!

Hannah Godfrey

I went to OPTSC in April and saw Caray after weeks of pain and suffering awaiting an MRI for a knee injury that left me on crutches and unable to straighten my leg. Caray and the entire Main Street team are some of the best health care providers I’ve ever met. I’ve received great treatment and now 9 months post injury/ 7 months after beginning Physio I’m stronger than ever and reaching all new goals! I’d highly recommend them to anyone in need of care! You won’t regret it!

Michelle Beauparlant

I’ve used OPTSC on several occasions and would highly recommend them. Martin is an excellent physiotherapist and has helped me with my recovery(ies) in a very professional way. His knowledge is remarkable, and guidance is spot on. The admin staff have always been very helpful too. Efficient, friendly service. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you Martin & Team.

Anna lapointe

Very professional and efficient service. Dhiya my physiotherapist was extremely knowledgeable, caring and attentive. I am getting great results as a result of his work and my work on healing a physical injury. He makes it seem simple, but it sure works. My therapy is now complete and I am pretty pleased with the results. The Clinic was clean, well organized, well equipped. Alll the staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. I would recommend this clinic to anyone seeking a good physiotherapist

Samantha McDermott

This company provides outstanding service to their costumers. I would recommend this clinic to anyone needing this type of support for their physiotherapy needs.

Gianna Cox

Dhiya is a fantastic physiotherapist, and has been able to help me with my jaw and neck pain. I can't recommend OPSC enough. Thank you for everything that you guys do.

Hilary Groulx

My time here was absolutely amazing and Chris K. was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. He was kind and understanding, and helped me reach my goals quickly by helping me create a a schedule of strengthening exercises and recovery stretches and frequent check-ins. I highly recommend this physio therapy clinic - I honestly can’t say enough good things about it and Chris especially.

Luc Cormier

Kind, compassionate and knowledgeable staff committed to your recovery. Everyone is friendly, including the physiotherapists and the receptionist. My physiotherapist, Caray, was thorough and helped me improve my function and quality of life. They have a great team of dedicated physiotherapists. I highly recommend the OPSC.

Uzma Hashmi

I was dealing with Katie, she was very professional and dedicated to her job. She knows her stuff very well. She was very friendly and easy to talk during sessions. Thanks, Zahid

Victoria Losier

The staff are very knowledgeable and kind. Treatment was very effective and I was given relevant explanations about my condition and why they were doing certain treatments and exercises. They were very focused on the issues I thought were important. Truly a lovely place that helped me manage my chronic pain. I highly recommend them

John Moffet

Friendly, skilled and careful diagnosis, practical therapy solutions.

Ivana Mižíková

A GREAT clinic! I frequented the clinic in two periods for two different (but not entirely unrelated) issues by two diffrent therapist and I found the quality of the care consistantly high. My therapists during this time were Phil, and after he moved away, Cris. They were both very kind, knowledgable and willing to explain the nature of the problem in details. The two problems I was having were severe leg pain and stabbing chest pains (this happened in two separate years). In both instances my pains were dismissed by my family doctor as nothing of importance. No matter how much I tried to explain that I am in a severe pain, I could not convince my doctor to investigate futher or send me for any imaging. Phil and Cris had both not only made correct diagnosis, but urged my doctor to provide additional examinations. Importantly, they also made me understand how to avoid behaviour triggering my pains. Thanks to Phil's persistance I have avoided a surgery for herniated disc. Cris was very kind and supportive when my chest pains caused me some real stress (I mean, if you have stabbing chest pain, all you can think is "heart attack"). He helped me to get some additional imaging, and went out of his way to give me advice even after I left the country and had some pain following the long travel. I would recommend this clinic to everyone. The staff is not only kind, but really cares about their patients. I guarantee that the therapists in this clinic will listen to you and not dismiss you because you don't fit the mould of what a patient with chronic mobility issues should look like. Thank you Cris! Thank you Phil!

Grace Yamamoto

All physiotherapists at this location are extremely knowledgeable and kind. They always take their time to listen and complete a highly detailed assessment. Any diagnoses or suggested exercises are explained in a clear and thoughtful manner. They are also very accommodating to your schedule!

Michel S

Nish has been treating me for a little over two months, and the results have been phenomenal. As someone who has worked alongside 7 different physiotherapists in the past, I can safely say he is the best one by far. - Extremely attentive to detail and very thorough in his assessments - Takes his time and spaces out the patients in his schedule; you will never feel like you're being rushed out of his clinic. - Flexible and goes out of his way to accommodate patients Highly recommend

Mira Popovic

Very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. I felt better after just a few visits and the shoulder/neck pain that I started with was quite severe (ask for Chris!). Highly recommended!

umed sunderji

I have been seeing Nishanth for physiotherapy and I have to say he is the best of the ones i have seen over the years. I have been seeing him over a year for my back and neck and has helped me tremendously. I also had an arm issue which is starting to get resolved. He is the only physiotherapist that figured out that it was a nerve issue and worked on specifics to get it on the healing path. He also spends time with you on the exercises to make sure you do them right and responds to emails if you have questions. I am very glad i saw him. My brother actually saw him and was very pleased. The clinic is far for me but it is totally worth it. I would highly recommend Nishanth and i believe other therapists that work there must be decent for them to part of a great clinic. I have also seen Justin for massage therapy and he is excellent as well. Thanks folks for improving my health.

Sean F

Staff is knowledgeable, friendly and always there to help. Would recommend this clinic to anyone in need treatment. Have been going there for several years, great for acute injuries and chronic issues.

gary smith

Ms. Caray Ford is very personable and skilled as a Physiotherapist. Very accessible to get to the clinic from where I live with lots of free on street parking. Couldn't walk in on first visit, but able to walk now! Thanks! Would recommend this facility to anyone (and already have).

John Royle

The physiotherapists listened to me. I found them generally knowledgable, and also aware of their limitations. Most importantly, they did not injure me! I found some of the techniques they used on me were effective. (Those that were not were harmless). Most importantly, I made progress.

Essa Karim

Nish was amazing. Worked with him for about 3 months and he helped my recovery immensely. I picked up an avulsion fracture in my ankle and he was able to do some work on it both by using treatments and exercises. Needless to say, I'm not sure how successful my recovery would have been without his help.

Riadh Jab

I really enjoyed my experience! The service was amazing with an amazing team that is very welcoming. Patrick and Kevin are extremely professional and have a lot of patience with their patients. Every time I go to the Clinic I feel like they are part of my family. I encourage people to go there!

Suzanne Nundy

Kirstie is amazing, the best physiotherapist I have met so far. Highly recommend her.

Michael Bailey

The staff at Ottawa Physiotherapy go above and beyond to get you back to your best self! Thank you Chae and Dhiya! You two are PHENOMENAL!

Jennifer Huzera

I am so grateful to this physiotherapy clinic. I have been seeing Nish on and off for several years and he has helped me through concussion recovery, and dealing with a variety of injuries and chronic pain issues. Lines of communication with Nish are very open and I feel supported, heard and never shamed. The clinic admins are so helpful and the scheduling is flexible. If you put in the work and the time, physio is amazing, and the support provided by Nish and this clinic is the top!

Carli

This clinic is excellent. The staff is skilled and professional. I've worked with Nish on several issues for the past seven months and have had steady improvements. I highly recommend it

Frederike Hanigan-Dauphin

I've been seen Nish for 2 separate injuries and I'm so happy with the results. Before coming here I was ready to just accept that my ankle would never get back to what it was before. Nish was able to find the source of the problem that other physio missed and get me back to softball quicker than I imagined. One day I told him how tired my shoulder felt and he built me a program for it. Not only are my injuries feeling better every treatment, but Nish is making me a better softball player by looking at my mechanics and adapting my exercises to it. I would highly recommend him for your injuries.

Julia Wallace

By far the best physiotherapy clinic I have been to. The physiotherapists here are very knowledgeable and experienced. Most importantly they take a holistic approach and focus not only on helping patients with their specific injury, but also work to understand the underlying cause to avoid future injury. Very highly recommend this clinic.

Manolo Malaver-Vojvodic

OPSC has an outstanding knowledgeable and experienced team of physiotherapists. Their sport's equipment is brand new. All the staff is friendly and extremely careful given the current pandemic situation. Dhiya's sessions helped me recover from a back injury that I got playing tennis and he also gave me fantastic advice on exercises to do to avoid future injuries. I also had the pleasure of meeting Nish, who is another outstanding physiotherapist. I have recommended the clinic to some friends and they are very satisfied with their experience. I highly recommend it.

Predrag Stojnic

I am a personal trainer and a business owner. I was personally treated several times by Nish with outstanding results. We send all our clients to this clinic for rehab and fine tuning. We recommend this clinic to everyone who wants to get better and perform well.

Alex Manuel

Nish and the team at OPTSC on Main St are incredibly knowledgeable. They are invested in their patients' recoveries and it shows; the treatments I've received at OPTSC have helped me rehab numerous injuries back to full health. I'd recommend OPTSC to anyone in the Ottawa area.

Suzanne Gagnon

Friendly and very efficient service.

Guy Lafrance

Great service and advice

John Stead

Having tried a few physiotherapists in the Ottawa region, nobody else even comes close to Nish and his team. Comfortable, clean and relaxed environment, with extremely well informed, dedicated and professional physiotherapists. Highly recommended for both kids and adults

Connor Haberl

Nish is super passionate about fixing people - it's very apparent that he's not just trying to get your money but wants to help you through the recovery process. In my experience he prescribed a lot of exercises but I did them and saw significant progression in my recovery.

Sophie Cormier

Chris is amazing and knowledgable physiotherapist. He is attentive, efficient and takes the time to explain everything and makes you feel so comfortable during every appointment! He’s a definite expert in his field. I look forward to each visits!

Nicolas

I've visited this clinic for two separate reasons (knee and jaw pain) and each time they've had me back to 100% in just a few sessions. Nishanth is a true professional. He's extremely knowledgeable about his profession and he's very quick to pinpoint the issue and work at solving it. The clinic itself is also very clean and set up to accommodate multiple patients at once.

Ann

I would highly recommend the Ottawa Physiotherapy & Sports Clinic - Main Street location. Nishanth is a very knowledgeable, skilled and professional physiotherapist. He has helped me return to my sport activities after a fall this winter. Nishanth also helped me with a back issue two years ago, which allowed me to return to my normal activities pain free. Nishanth’s Advance Care Practitioner with ISAEC (Inter-professional Spine Assessment and Education Clinics) makes him an excellent physiotherapist for back problems as well.

Nadim Sunderji

Nish is great!

Timmy Kline

Everyone there is warm and friendly, and the physio has done wonders for me! I used to be in a lot of pain but can't believe how much I've improved in just a month. Thank you OPTSC team!

Stevie C

This is the best physio clinic! They have friendly staff, a convenient location, very reasonable rates, and Nish is a miracle worker!!! Highly recommended!

Nick Boucher

Fantastic clinic. Nish and Caray are masters in their craft. Everyone is exceptionally friendly and answer all questions. All my minor and major injuries have been tended to expertly. Highly recommended.

T

Very friendly and helpful staff! Physiotherapist are the best in the city! Highly recommend coming here for treatment. A+++

Kevin Carrington

Nish and the team here are great! They gave me the information, guidance and treatment needed to get me back on track. I will highly recommend them to others in need.

Karine Brassard

Great team, highly knowledgeable and professional

Camille Garceau

I got assessed and treated by Nish, and it was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. He came highly recommended, but he still exceeded my expectations. The level of expertise and care that he brings to his practice is unparalleled. Everyone else at the clinic seems friendly and professional.

Jennifer Smith

I highly recommend this clinic! Thanks to a welcoming and professional staff, I felt comfortable right away. Dhiya is awesome - so knowledgeable and personable, and always taking the time to explain the mechanics behind the problem. He provided effective treatment for my back issues.

Aaron Bhatia

Chris was awesome! He got me back to skateboarding after a bad ankle injury much quicker than I expected. He also tailored my exercises to the other activities I wanted to get back to first, and helped me look for the cheapest equipment online. Very nice guy and really does know what he’s doing. All in all the clinic is very clean, covid-aware, and well equipped with exercise equipment. 10/10 would come back for future injuries.

Andre Lamoureux

Caray did a great getting my mobility back in my shoulder. I would recommend you guys to my friends. Thanks alot.

thomas wagner

Fantastic Hour long session ...diagnosis was made which was confirmed by mri the very next day. Disk herniation abated after 3 days of diligently following suggested regimen of stretching

Julie Vaillant

I have been seeing Nishanth for years! He is extremely knowledgeable and gets you going in no time! The professionalism of all the staff at the clinic is to be commended. They have a great team of therapists including massage therapists that work hand in hand with the physiotherapist which assists greatly in your recovery! Highly recommended!!

Sandy Indy

This is the place for virtual therapy during COVID-19. Nish can help you virtually if you don't quite need to go into the clinic to see him. (He is a 5 star physiotherapist in person too). Besides coaching you through exercises and working to sort out your issue(s), he can also do a virtual assessment of your work station to make sure it's best set up for you. (And for Pogo players - there is a stop within range of the clinic.)

Michelle Carlesimo

I've seen several physios in Ottawa, Nish is the best (only one other comes close). He is genuinely interested in figuring out the underlying issue - and he's been pretty creative with my exercises. In other words, he doesn't hand out "cookie cutter" treatments. He explains everything and has an easygoing and friendly personality. My only "complaint" is that I have a lot of exercises :) I have also been seeing Justin (RMT) recently and I highly recommend his services too. He is very knowledgeable and has been an asset with treating my injuries / mobility issues.

Lori Meldrum

I have been extremely happy with the knowledge and service I have received at the clinic. My physiotherapist Carey has been very informative, kind and patient. She has given me good feedback regarding my progress and has updated my exercises along the way to challenge me. My ankle is so much better now and I have been extremely happy with the customer service I've received at clinic overall. It has been a very good experience.

carol weerdenburg

Thanks for great care. Detailed explanations and thorough exercise demonstrations and corrections were appreciated.

Lynne Byford

I have been to this clinic for a few different issues over the years and been very happy with the professional care. Most recently I had a Total Knee Replacement done and was referred to another clinic by the hospital. I started at the other location, based on the referral, but ended up returning here as the hands on treatment and tailored exercises provided by Nish and Caray really helped accelerate my rehabilitation. Highly Recommended!

Josée Richer

Chae the receptionist is a very kind and welcoming person. We are always greeted with a smile... yes, visible even with a mask! Chris is very professional in his work and encouraging when times get a bit tough! I have not been with them long but have enjoyed every visit as I felt respected in my limits while encouraged by the remarks on my progress. It's a small studio respecting Covid distancing. The atmosphere is calm. Update : From March to November. Chris has been the greatest! With his help and professional guidance I am happy to be back to work! My vestibular challenges are under control! I have got this thanks to his knowledge and guidance as well as my hard work and perseverance. Thanks a million. I definitely recommend Chris as a great physiotherapist and specialist in vestibular issues.
