NeuroLogic Physiotherapy - The Centre for Myofascial Release

Our Story

Since its humble beginnings in 2003, NeuroLogic Physiotherapy has grown to open two locations serving the Ottawa area with a team of 20 highly-skilled and dedicated therapists who work together as an interprofessional team. Our team includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and a speech-language pathologist who focus on providing hands-on treatment on a one-to-one basis.

Our physiotherapists are trained to see (by postural and movement analysis) and feel (by hands-on soft tissue and fascial evaluation) areas of the body contributing to restricted mobility, functional limitations, and pain issues. We expand our assessment to look at the whole person, which helps us to develop a treatment plan which strives to address the cause versus solely treating the symptoms. In our approach, the client is an engaged, active participant in the healing process, rather than a passive recipient of hands-on techniques.

In addition to the standard registered physiotherapy qualification, our therapists have specific knowledge, training and experience in treating various neurological and orthopedic conditions as well as an understanding of the way the brain and central nervous system work and influence other systems of the body. Our neurologically trained therapists work to normalize postural alignment, movement and balance through Bobath concept and/or neuro-developmental techniques (NDT) as well as Myofascial release techniques. These techniques help to modulate muscle tone and release restricted fascial tissue in order to allow for better mobility and range of motion. As well, our orthopedic trained therapists also use hands-on techniques, such as Myofascial Release and Craniosacral techniques to complement their strong manual and orthopedic skills. In addition, there is a strong focus on the use of research-validated and evidence-based Outcome measures in our care approach.

We look at the whole person, which helps us to develop a treatment plan which strives to address the cause versus solely treating the symptoms. In our approach, you are an active participant in your healing journey, rather than a passive recipient of hands-on techniques. Right from the start, to facilitate optimal recovery, you will be asked to be actively involved in:
