Ive had a great experience here with the health program and working with the NP. They went through a transition phase and handled it so well and make sure I was taken care of through the whole thing. They have been quick to respond and get me appointments. 100% recommend.

Dr. Christine Rad assessed me then put me on a stretching and exercise routine that had me back on my feet in no time.
I was very impressed with her knowledge of the anatomy. But the handiest thing had to be the app, which demonstrates each exercise using a video.

Fascia is the web-like connective tissue that encases and interconnects your muscles, nerves, and joints throughout your entire body. When this tissue becomes tight, thickened, or restricted — due to injury, prolonged sitting, repetitive strain, or stress — it can create a cascade of discomfort, stiffness, and movement limitations that are difficult to resolve through stretching or exercise alone.
Myofascial release is a form of manual therapy that applies gentle, sustained pressure to fascial restrictions, encouraging the tissue to soften and lengthen over time. At Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehab, this technique is woven into individualized treatment plans designed around your specific body, history, and functional goals. Your clinician evaluates how your muscles, joints, and fascia interact before applying precise, targeted pressure to ease restrictions and support more comfortable, efficient movement in your daily life.
Whether you are a young athlete pushing through training demands, a professional spending long hours at a desk, or someone managing long-standing pain, myofascial release can serve as a meaningful part of your recovery journey right here in Ottawa, Ontario.
Fascial restrictions do not always announce themselves with a clear diagnosis — they often show up as persistent tightness, nagging discomfort, or that feeling of being “locked up” no matter how much you stretch. Myofascial release is particularly valuable when other approaches have provided only partial or temporary relief.
Because not every condition calls for the same approach, your clinician will take a thorough look at your history, movement patterns, and any relevant imaging or medical documentation before recommending myofascial release as part of your care.
When fascial tension eases, the downstream effects can be felt across many areas of daily function — from how freely you move your neck while driving, to how your hips feel after a long run, to whether you wake up with tightness across your upper back. Myofascial release aims to reduce that accumulated restriction so your body can move with less effort and discomfort.
Patients at Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehab who incorporate myofascial release into their treatment plans frequently report:
It is important to note that individual responses vary. Your therapist will track how your body responds across multiple visits and adjust the approach to support gradual, lasting change rather than temporary symptom relief.
