Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehabilitation

The GLA: D program was a huge help with my knee arthritis- my knees are stronger and less painful after the 6-week session. Dr. Christine Rad is outstanding: very knowledgeable, and she took the time to help each of us with our individual exercises and particular arthritis and other musculoskeletal issues. I absolutely recommend the GLA: D program and Dr. Rad to anyone with arthritis pain.

I went to the clinic because of a severe and chronic problem with a hip tendonopathy that was preventing my running and even making walking a bit of a challenge. I asked for Shockwave treatment as I had learned, from a sports physician, that this was preferable to cortisone for treating this condition. I had had a couple of shockwave treatments in my home city a month earlier, but they did not do much for me. Ottawa Health has the latest and more powerful Shockwave equipment, so I thought I would give it a try. Dr. Stephanie was my therapist. I had four treatments altogether, and while it took awhile, it worked. Stephanie was excellent. Friendly and thoroughly professional. The clinic setting is attractive and welcoming. I strongly recommend this clinic for this type of treatment for injuries like mine. I am back running, with occasional twinges, but as forecast the remediation is progressing and I am well satisfied.

Ottawa Performance and Rehab (Chiropractic care, physiotherapy and massage therapy) have helped me tremendously over the years with some injuries that occurred at my work. With their help and expertise I was able to return to work almost immediately and with less pain.

They are an incredible team that strive for their patient's well-being. I will recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you all for the amazing work you all do.

I’m a Professional Golfer and this was game changing for me prior to my tournament! Was helpful in every regard! Thank you!

When I first came to Ottawa, I was looking for a chiropractor because of chronic neck pain and tightness all over my body. When I searched online this clinic came out. It wasn’t called this because Dr Raigoza bought the clinic a year after I started going there. They are amazing people. I was taking the bus to go there and the hour long trip is SO worth it. They listen to you and they find solutions to your problems. I did acupuncture, readjustments and pressure point massages. They are truly great. Unfortunately after 4 years I have to leave Ottawa so I won’t be able to go see them anymore, but if you’re looking for help, they are the ones you need!

I saw Dr. Bekhit today for my first appointment and I found she was very thorough and incredibly informative! It was my first chiropractic adjustment which made me a little nervous but the doctor made me feel comfortable! I would definitely recommend this doctor and this clinic to anyone! The clinic staff was also very friendly!

Very pleased with my VO2 max test for cycling. Staff were very knowledgable and supportive, explaining clearly all steps before and during the test. Value added post test discussion of results, hard copy report and ongoing App use: highly recommend!

Excellent service and a very friendly and relaxed environment!
I had Dr Raigoza (Rich) who took time to get to know me and assess my issue/s. Had me back on track and playing sport again after just a few sessions ;-)

Amazing faculty, professionals and approach to overall health and wellness. Thank you Dr. Rich!

What can't I say about Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehabilitation. I have struggled with back issues for years, it was especially difficult last year when I injured my back and was out of sport for almost a year. Dr. Rich, Attilia, Robin, Daniella, and Corey consistently provided me with an exceptional experience. Not only did they get me doing the things I love again, they managed my expectations and helped me during a very difficult time. They are incredibly responsive to my emails and can always find time for me when my body feels off. Dr. Rich has built and incredible community around his practice and if you're looking for the best healthcare experience, look no further, you've found it.

Ever since the lockdown I had a lot of mobility issues appear around my body which made life kinda difficult. I thought I’d never move past them but then a friend of mine recommended seeing Dr. Raigoza. I had seen a physio therapist in the past but to me it seemed like they were more interested in getting the most money out of me so that made me a little skeptical. Without a doubt I can say that is not the experience you’ll get from these guys especially Dr. Raigoza, he’s an absolute legend! Immediately after my first session with him I was already feeling my body loosening up again and not only that he was very understanding when it came to some last minute appointment cancelations. All around 10/10 for me and will definitely keep seeing them in the future.

From the first day I noticed a huge improvement. The goal is to stabilize my spine to prevent relapses in the future.

Ottawans are privileged to have Dr. Richar Raigoza establish his multi-disciplinary clinic in this city. He brings a progressive approach that has been missing in my healthcare journey. He gave me tools so that I can be an active partner in my own healing. I experienced results quickly. My body is no longer a mystery. I can continue to carry on being my boldest self in life. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do. We are all peak performers in life. If you have the desire to live life optimally, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Richar Raigoza and the team at Ottawa Health Performance and Rehabilitation.

I have had an excellent experience at OHPR! I have been suffering with shoulder and back pain, as well as mobility issues, since 2018 and have been in physio for years. I have made huge strides in my recovery thanks to Dr. Christine Rad.

In the few short months I have been seeing her, she has treated me with professionalism and compassion, and I have gone from needing a walker to only needing a cane and walking unassisted about 50% of the time. She truly has gotten to the root of the issue and given me manageable but challenging exercises to target these areas. She is so encouraging and a great listener. It makes you excited for appointments and eager to do your exercises. The online app to track your exercises is great as well, and the admin staff is always kind and accommodating when myself or my husband have had last minute work things come up.

I can't recommend this clinic enough!

I was amazed at there fast and prompt service.
The Dr’s are caring and patient.
They are located on bank stt
With lots of parking and a restaurant close by.
I was also surprised they were open on Saturdays.
That’s what saved me!
Plan on going back very soon

Respectfully

Dr Nardine Bekhit is an excellent Chiropractor. She got me back on my feet and on the golf course within 2 weeks. She actually got down on the floor with me to demonstrate the exercises. She is the consummate professional. I highly recommend her for your treatments.

My job is very physical and I don't use my legs most of the time when I'm lifting at work and so my lower back has been hurting me for awhile. I ended up getting a back spasm one morning when I woke up and my wife had to drive me to the hospital, I was in so much pain that it hurt to move or breath. After that incident my brother in law recommended me to go and see he's professional chiropractor Dr. Richar for a session and Im really glad that I did! Dr. Richar is so knowledgeable in he's work field, he will walk you through the process of the pain that you might be experiencing so you understand what is going on or what needs to be done to prevent more injuries. My first session he cracked my back and I felt less pain then before, my second session he used acupuncture on my back where my pain was and it went away after. Third session he showed me exercises that I can do at home to help my back from getting hurt again. Thank you Dr. Richar! I will definitely be going back to see you!

My therapist was Robyn. She is skilful and best at her job. I felt relieved with her massage techniques something just as I wished for. She loves to share her knowledge and suggested me some yoga asanas that would help cure my problem. Best for the ones looking required enough pressure therapy and physical stress relief! Thank you Robyn

Front desk staff were very polite and punctual. Area was kept tidy and clean. Saw Dr. Raigoza and he was knowledgeable, friendly and help fix me. I will absolutely be booking with them again!

Actually it's Jessica's mom Judy Fyffe posting. We are both patients at OHPR. Dr. Rich is fantastic. He knows his profession. I went in with a back injury and he found all my sore spots before I told him. He was very thorough with his initial assessment and made sure there was no other problems. He explained what he was doing before doing it and why. His bedside manner is excellent. He made me feel that my problem was his to solve. I have been only twice and my back feels so much better. He also has given me exercises to do and is looking into a back brace for me to use at work. I'll be back to work in just one week. Thank you Dr. Rich

When I met Dr. Richar Raigoza I was suffering a terrible pain and unable to sleep at nights.
In the first session, He completely listened to me while I was explaining my shoulder situation, taking notes and doing exact tests on my body.
Then he started his professional way to heal my pain. After a week, I felt his treatment on my shoulder worked. I really admire his patience, skills and knowledge which helped me a lot to get healed properly. I really recommend Dr. Rick for everyone who does not have hope they can be healed.

After going to see a few different Chiropractors, acupuncturist and massage therapist throughout the past 5-10 years, I had almost given up hope and thought that my issues were something I would have to deal with forever. My friend referred me to Dr. Rad and I'm so happy they did. For the first time, I left with a better understanding of why I was experiencing these issues. She does a great job of explaining the treatments in detail, giving you home exercise and techniques to work on, and she really wants you to get better instead of wasting your time and money. 100% would recommend her service!

To the team at Ottawa Health:
I have had many years of experiences in chiropractic treatments. Being a hairstylist, and leading a very active life style, puts a lot of wear and tear on my body. The first time I met Dr RICHAR RAIGOSA.
I felt absolutely comfortable with his attentive and respectful approach. His knowledge, and confidence
Cemented my loyalty of being his patient.
I recently recommended the team to my older sister
Who is 80. And has had accidents that has left her body aching and seizing.
The front desk team Julia, and Cory. Were extremely helpful, and accommodating. Dr. RICHAR RAIGOSA again took extreme caution and care in his assessment and gentle treatment. And his follow up is reassuring. She felt incredibly comfortable and satisfied. Since this was her first time with chiropractic experience. She is now more motivated to get better and we’re both extremely thankful to the team at Ottawa Health.
I highly recommend OTTAWA HEALTH.
To my family, friends. And my clients.

I went to see Dr. Richar today and wow.things I would of never known, he educated me on how keep things moving and free of pain. If you have not seen him, I recommend going for and evaluation. Great place, great service and amazingly clean. Thanks Dr. Richar

Such a great experience! So professional and good communication. I felt so relaxed and after my visit.

I had a serious chronic tennis elbow injury that lasted over a year. I signed up for therapy at a Physio clinic that worked on my arm three days a week for over two months without success. Then I had someone refer me to OHPR where I worked with a specialist (Richar) that only needed a few short sessions with me, and I can say after only 4 visits, my arm is back to feeling great again! I would highly recommend OHPR, not only for the treatment but the exception service as well.

I am so pleased with the treatment I received from Dr. Rich Raigoza. He listened to reason why I was coming in and I never felt rushed. He combined a variety of treatments to solve my pain, and rechecked me after treatment to make sure I was feeling better. I will definitely be going back and definitely recommend him to anyone looking to see a chiropractor.

I go to Dr. Christine Rad and she is AMAZING. So kind, thoughtful and considerate. I honestly do not have enough positive things to say about her. I went to a different physio for back pain 2x a week for about a month and a half and barely felt a difference. After two sessions with Dr. Rad, I felt much more limber, flexible and much less pain. She was awesome throughout all the sessions I had with her, taking time to explain the different things she was doing, including why and how. I had some concerns and she took the time to comfort and reassure me with my worries. She is excellent.

Dr Rich is my goto when I need relief, correction or just to keep myself nimble. In my field as an automotive technician I do a lot of twisting and lifting. I count on Dr Rich to keep me in flexible working order and he delivers. I was concerned when Dr. Keenan left the business but my confidence was fully restored with my first visit to this very knowledgeable and able practitioner. I highly recommend.

Dr. Raigoza is amazing. So knowledgeable, and explains everything in a way that makes sense for the average Joe. I’m really excited to continue treatment with him.

Being new to Ottawa, and in a state of great lower back pain, I sought out a Chiropractor close to home. I called on a Monday morning and was booked for a new-patient appointment by 11: 15 the same day with Dr. Richar Raigoza.

Shuffling in with my crazy sore lower back, I was greeted by professional staff. After a very short wait Dr. Raigoza came out, introduced himself and escorted me back for my appointment.

He was so kind, listened intently, asked pointed questions to get to the root of my current issue but also inquired about any other health issues.

When examining my back he always told me what he was about to do next before he would proceed.

Dr. Raigoza one appointment made such an impactful difference. I went in shuffling and walked out feeling so much better. Of course it didn’t heal after just one appointment but he certainly provided me with pain relief and ease of motion. Something I didn’t have the three days prior.

I highly recommend Ottawa Health Performance and Rehabilitation. Thanks Dr. Richar Raigoza.

I had the opportunity to sit in on seminar with Dr. Richar, which was a very refreshing experience. He didn't offer a 'one size fits all' solution to proposed health/performance issues, but a more tailored approach suited towards the individual. His performance background also gave the group confidence during the seminar, which is something that's lacking in today's medical field.

I go to dr rich about once a week, I have never felt better than I do after an adjustment, nothing but great things to say about not only their care but the overall friendliness and atmosphere!

Absolutely great! I have been seeing a chiropractor and a physiotherapist at the Keenan Health Centre and it is amazing! I struggled from back pain and Dr. Keenan was able to fix my problems.

I saw Dr. Keenan for a month and haven't felt this good since as long as I can remember. With the physical demands of my business being a constant, Dr. Keenan took the time to evaluate what was going on with my body in its entirety. Because of his holistic approach I feel amazing and would highly recommend this company to anyone who is keen on feeling fine. The ancillary staff was super friend as well.

At Keenan Health Centre, patient care and advocacy is first & foremost. Dr. Keenan and his team are hands-on magicians solving one health concern after another.

They have an impeccable team dynamic with a glowing culture that brings a ray of sunshine to the entire office.

After a friend recommended to Dr. Keenan for tingling in my hand, I made an appointment. I had my ex-ray and check up, then had my first adjustment the week later three in total that week. Since then I haven't hand anymore tingling in my hand. I personally would recommend anyone to see
Dr. Keenan.

When I first came to the Keenan Chiropractic Clinic with very painful cervical spinal stenosis, I was desperate to find a treatment that would bring me some relief. I had been going through hell with nerve pain down my left arm that left me unable to sleep properly, and was causing numbness and pins and needles in my arm and hand. I was even having balance issues when walking. A friend who is a Chiropractor in Victoria, B. C.recommended the Keenan Chiropractic Clinic for my problem. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Keenan who has given me a new lease on life since receiving his adjustments. After just 1 month of Chiropractic care I can truly say that I am like a new person. I am sleeping through the night without pain and I can now walk 2 kilometres with my dogs with much better balance. I intend to make regular Chiropractic visits part of my plan for life long health. Health is wealth!

Dr. Dirk is an amazing chiropractor, I would highly recommend him to anyone! I came to him looking to relieve pain in a short period before a trip where I would be exercising daily and putting a lot of stress on my body. Within 2 visits I felt much better than I had in years and was able to perform how I wanted and not be limited by my hip pain.

In addition to his successful chiropractic treatment of our spine with the activator, my spouse and I would like to thank Dr. Dirk Keenan D. C, from the Keenan Health Centre in Ottawa, for his successful treatment of our vertigo. His manipulations of our ears and neck as well as his treatment by diapulse truly reduced our vertigo, thereby helping us live a better life.

Outre son traitement chiropratique avec succès de notre colonne vertébrale à l’aide de l’instrument activator, ma conjointe et moi remercions Dr Dirk Keenan D. C, du Centre de santé Keenan à Ottawa, pour son traitement avec succès de notre vertige. Ses manipulations de nos oreilles et de notre cou ainsi que son traitement à l’aide de l’outil diapulse ont grandement réduit notre vertige, contribuant ainsi à vivre une meilleure vie.

I first went to the Keenan Health Centre when I was suffering from lower back pain that had become so bad I could not bend over to tie my shoes. I was heavily into weight lifting and was looking for a solution that didn’t involve staying out of the gym.

Dr. Keenan put me into a treatment plan with adjustments that, within a few weeks, had me starting to feel normal again. Within a few months, all my pain was gone and I was back to feeling like my own self.

This was 6 years ago now and I still visit regularly. It seems like anytime something goes wrong with my body, Dr. Keenan is able to fix it and get me back to normal. He is an incredible doctor surrounded by caring and compassionate treatment staff who make it so easy to schedule appointments and ask questions.

I have recommended the Dr. Keenan and the Keenan Health Centre over the years anytime someone mentions back or neck pain, and I’ll continue to do so.

If you want to feel better - this is the absolute best place to go!
