Mokhtar Akbari – Physiotherapy and Manual Osteopathy in Kanata – Stittsville

Physiotherapy in Kanata – Stittsville. Hello, my name is Mokhtar Akbari. I am a registered physiotherapist and Osteopath and the owner and operator of Rideau Physiotherapy and Osteopathy. I have been providing physiotherapy in Ottawa since 2005 and have recently moved my practice to the Kanata – Stittsville Area, were I am working from the Rooted Family Wellness Centre Ottawa . I use a personalized approach and see all my clients myself one on one for 30 or 45 minute physiotherapy sessions. My treatments involve a combination of massage, manual therapy techniques, and customized exercise prescription. I have added training in osteopathic manual therapy which is a hands-on approach to helping rebalance the body. I am trained in Visceral Manipulation, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Myofascial Release and advanced manual therapy. I use specific therapeutic exercises to help remove pain, or recover mobility and strength depending on my patients’ needs.

I also occasionally use modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). I am very practical in my approach and use the techniques that yield the best results for each individual patient.

The initial assessment and treatment session lasts 1 hour. During this session, we will clarify your diagnosis and create a treatment plan together, taking into account your health needs and other constraints such as your scheduling availabilities and budget. My services are covered by most private health insurance plans.

My interest has always been in taking care of my patients in the most holistic way possible, with care and empathy. I keep up to date with the most recent advances in physiotherapy. Together, we will build a plan that is right for you and that will help you achieve your health goals in the most simple and effective way possible. Je suis aussi entièrement bilingue et offre mes services en français.

To book an appointment, you can now reach me at the Rooted Family Wellness Centre at (613) 435-9200 .
