Sports Physiotherapy Ottawa
Whether you're a competitive athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone who simply refuses to let an injury sideline their active lifestyle, Human 2.0 offers specialized sports physiotherapy in Ottawa designed to get you back to peak performance — faster and stronger than before.
Our South Keys Ottawa clinic is the only sports physiotherapy facility in the city owned and operated by an orthopedic surgeon. That means your rehabilitation isn't just guided by physiotherapists — it's informed by surgical-level expertise in the injuries that matter most to athletes.
What Is Sports Physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on the prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of sport-related injuries. Our Ottawa sports physio team understands the demands of athletic performance and designs treatment plans that go beyond basic recovery — targeting full return to sport, optimized movement mechanics, and long-term injury prevention.
Unlike general physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy is calibrated to the specific physical demands of your sport, your position, and your performance goals. We don't just ask "are you pain-free?" — we ask "are you ready to compete?"
Who We Work With
Our South Keys sports physiotherapy team serves athletes and active individuals at every level:
Competitive and recreational athletes — From CFL players and varsity competitors to recreational league participants, we build return-to-sport programs calibrated to the specific demands of your sport and position.
Post-surgical athletes — Recovering from ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, hip arthroscopy, or another orthopedic procedure? Our physiotherapists work directly from Dr. Raynor's post-operative protocols to guide your return to sport safely and progressively.
Endurance and overhead athletes — Runners, cyclists, swimmers, and throwing athletes face unique overuse and biomechanical challenges. We specialize in the load management, gait analysis, and movement retraining these athletes need.
Active adults returning from injury — You don't have to be a professional to deserve professional-grade rehabilitation. If staying active is important to you, our Ottawa sports physio team will treat your recovery with the same rigour we apply to elite athletes.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
ACL, MCL, and meniscus injuries
Rotator cuff tears and shoulder instability
Ankle sprains and Achilles tendinopathy
Runner's knee (patellofemoral pain) and IT band syndrome
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
Hamstring and groin strains
Stress fractures and overuse injuries
Hip labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
Shoulder impingement and labral pathology
Post-surgical rehabilitation for any orthopedic procedure
Our Return-to-Sport Approach
At Human 2.0, we don't just treat the injury — we rebuild the athlete. Our return-to-sport programs are structured in progressive phases:
Pain management and tissue healing — Reduce inflammation, protect healing tissue, and restore baseline mobility
Strength and stability rebuilding — Address the muscular deficits and movement compensations that develop during injury and immobilization
Sport-specific movement training — Reintroduce the cutting, jumping, throwing, or endurance demands specific to your sport
Performance clearance — Objective testing to confirm you're ready to return — not just symptom-free, but functionally prepared
Every milestone is evidence-based, athlete-centred, and coordinated with Dr. Raynor's clinical oversight when surgical cases are involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is sports physiotherapy different from regular physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy applies the same clinical foundations as general physiotherapy but with a specific focus on athletic performance, sport-specific movement demands, and return-to-competition readiness. Our Ottawa sports physio team understands what it takes to get back on the field, court, or track — not just back to daily life.
Do I need a referral to book a sports physiotherapy appointment?
No referral is required. You can book directly through our JaneApp page. If you're a patient of Dr. Raynor's following orthopedic surgery, he will refer you directly to our sports physiotherapy team with a post-operative protocol already in place.
Can I keep training while I'm in sports physiotherapy?
In most cases, yes — and we encourage it. Our team will work with you to modify your training load so you stay active and maintain fitness while your injury heals. Staying as active as safely possible is a core principle of our rehabilitation philosophy at Human 2.0.
How long does return-to-sport rehabilitation take?
It depends on the injury and the sport. A mild ankle sprain may resolve in 4–6 weeks. ACL reconstruction typically requires 9–12 months of structured rehabilitation before full return to competitive sport. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic, phase-by-phase timeline at your initial assessment.
Is sports physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Yes — sports physiotherapy is covered by most extended health insurance plans in Ontario. We offer direct billing for many providers. Ask our South Keys Ottawa reception team to confirm your plan's coverage before your first appointment.
