Expert Physiotherapy Care Now at Our Ottawa Clinics
At La Vie Health Ottawa, physiotherapy is more than just rehabilitation—it’s an essential part of our whole-person, preventative healthcare model. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, addressing mobility issues, or simply aiming to optimize your movement and function, our physiotherapy services are designed to help you move better and feel better for the long term.
By integrating physiotherapy into our broader health ecosystem, we help patients not only heal but also understand how their body functions—and how to prevent future issues before they arise.
Our Approach to Physiotherapy
Every physiotherapy session at La Vie starts with a comprehensive understanding of you—your body, your movement patterns, your health history, and your goals. Our approach goes beyond simply treating the site of pain. We focus on identifying the root causes of dysfunction, compensations, or limitations that may be affecting how you move, feel, and function.
Our physiotherapy services include a combination of:
- Functional Movement & Mobility Assessments: A detailed look at how your body performs essential movements like squatting, lunging, reaching, or twisting to identify imbalances, restrictions, and compensations.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility, tissue quality, alignment, and reduce pain.
- Neurofunctional Medical Acupuncture: A modern medical acupuncture technique aimed at improving nerve function, reducing pain, and enhancing movement.
- Dry Needling: Targeted needling to release muscular tension, deactivate trigger points, and restore mobility.
- Instrument-Assisted Myofascial Release (IASTM): A soft tissue mobilization technique using specialized tools to relieve tightness and improve circulation.
- Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): An advanced stretching technique designed to improve flexibility, muscle coordination, and motor control.
- Breathing and Nervous System Regulation: Breathwork is integrated into treatment plans to support recovery, improve core stability, reduce tension, and optimize nervous system health.
- Corrective Exercise and Strength Programming: Focused exercise prescriptions for muscle activation, endurance building, and long-term injury prevention.
