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.

If you’re unsure about eligibility, our team can guide you through the process and help confirm next steps.
Every WSIB case begins with a detailed assessment that aligns clinical findings with workplace demands. At Ottawa Health, care plans are built around what your job actually requires—not generic exercises or timelines.
Your WSIB treatment process includes:
Initial assessment and functional evaluation
Goal-based physiotherapy or chiropractic sessions
Gradual progression tied to job-specific tasks
Ongoing updates shared with WSIB case managers
Discharge planning and return-to-work support
Physiotherapy may include guided movement, strengthening, mobility work, and functional retraining. Chiropractic care may involve joint mobilization and movement-based strategies. When appropriate, both services work together to support a smoother recovery path.
WSIB-approved care offers structured support during a challenging time. Beyond pain relief, the goal is to restore confidence in movement and function so you can return to work safely.
Key benefits include:
Combining physiotherapy and chiropractic care can also help address both muscular and joint-related components of a workplace injury, improving overall outcomes.
Navigating WSIB paperwork can feel overwhelming, especially while managing an injury. At Ottawa Health, administrative support is built into the process.
Our clinic assists with:
A workplace injury doesn’t have to define your future at work. With the right support, clear communication, and a structured plan, recovery can move forward with purpose.
