Experience tailored support with Physiocare’s assistive devices program, where specialists guide you in selecting and using equipment to improve daily mobility.
The Assistive Devices Program guides clients in selecting and adapting equipment—such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, and braces—to compensate for strength, balance, or mobility limitations. Research shows personalized device fitting reduces fall risk and promotes long-term independence. As part of physiotherapy in Ottawa, the program links clinical evaluation with equipment use to improve function and prevent secondary injuries.
This program follows a structured, evidence-based process: clinicians assess physical impairments, daily activities, and environmental barriers to recommend suitable devices. Studies highlight that device training supported by physiotherapists improves user compliance, safety, and functional outcomes. The program integrates device selection, fitting, and education to promote confidence and independence at home or in the community.
Physiocare’s Assistive Devices Program helps individuals with mobility challenges regain independence through properly matched equipment and training.
Clients benefit from enhanced safety, reduced strain, and improved ability to perform daily tasks like walking, transfers, and household activity.

EXCELLENT Based on 455 reviews Jack Scrive2025-05-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After working a desk job for over 45 years, I got a very bad posture and lots of pain. I originally saw Gunjan Vermani, she was very thorough in her initial examination and came up with a plan that fit my condition perfectly. I then saw Mehul Patel, another great therapist. He is now treating my condition. All the staff are very kind and pleasant which make for a very friendly atmosphere.

Tracey Sametz2025-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Physiocare create a strong and professional healing environment. The best physio team I have ever experienced 💜 Jocelyne Moskaluk2025-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where to start! I came to this clinic hopeful of progress on an ongoing injury that went undiagnosed for 5 years and was referred by my neurologist as what felt like my last resort considering it was a 50 min drive one way and I had to attend twice a week. I was afraid it was going to be the same outcome as all the other past experts I've consulted for my very particular situation. Vani and her amazing team have really done a lot of positive in my life these last few months. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this clinic and the employees working here. You immediately feel cared for from the moment you step in to the moment you pay and walk out. Something very incredible happened in my last visit that I gladly want to share. I am a privacy expert in the Federal Government for the last 20 years and consistently stress the importance of privacy protection and raising awareness around this area. While I was on the traction machine, I overheard one of the employees raising awareness to their staff in a meeting on this particular subject and this made my heart happy. They indeed take privacy protection and privacy breaches very seriously. She did it in an utmost professional manner including citing the act. This is very important to me and I know it is for everyone else as it should. Just know that this is your place full stop. I don't think there is any other better place. To all the staff: thank you all for your amazing services. You are indeed #1 and your professionalism outshines anything. Keep smiling and helping us getting better one appointment at a time.

She is highly professional and made me feel at ease right away. Her technique was both effective and comforting, helping me feel relaxed and well cared for throughout the session. I definitely plan to book another appointment with her, highly recommended! Joanna van Haastrecht2025-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and caring therapists. Nishika and staff are wonderful. Alpesh Gujjar2025-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to Physiocare for the past 4 years whenever I need physiotherapy, and they’ve always been great. Dr. Vijay and Dr. Mehul have both been a big help over the years. On my recent visit, Dr. Vijay treated my neck pain and did an excellent job—I'm feeling much better now. The staff is always friendly, and the clinic is clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend Physiocare for anyone looking for quality physiotherapy treatment. Maureen Patrick2025-05-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very pleased with the care I received, and have follow up appointments already booked.
