About Ottawa Rehab Protocols

Your Recovery Starts Here

NewLife Physiotherapy in Ottawa

Ottawa Rehab Protocols is an academic project founded by a group of rehabilitation practitioners who share a passion for research and evidence-based practice. Our mission is to create and share reliable, up-to-date rehabilitation protocols for musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries, including both surgical and non-surgical management.

Our team includes physiotherapists, chiropractors, and other rehabilitation specialists with advanced post-graduate education, including PhD graduates and doctoral students, combining academic knowledge with real-world clinical experience.

We work collaboratively on various topics related to MSK injuries, continuously reviewing new research to develop and refine protocols that can guide both clinicians and patients toward optimal recovery outcomes.

Each member of our research group may practice in different regions across Canada, mainly within Ontario.
Feel free to explore their profiles to connect and learn more about their clinical practices.

Working together for Better Rehab

At Ottawa Rehab Protocols, our team brings together rehabilitation professionals who combine clinical expertise with a strong background in research. We’re not just practitioners, we are researchers committed to advancing rehabilitation science and transforming evidence into practical, accessible rehab protocols.

The Gap We Noticed

Although high-quality evidence and standard protocols exist for procedures like tendon repairs, ligament reconstructions, and joint replacements, we found no centralized, go-to resource, especially one that could serve both healthcare professionals and patients in a practical, adaptable way. That realization sparked the idea for this platform several years ago.

Our Process

Research

We began a deep dive into the most reliable research and medical guidelines available. Our goal was to ensure everything we present is grounded in strong, evidence-based practices.

Structure

We carefully selected and reviewed key articles under each topic, summarized countless pages of evidence, and extracted the core principles that mattered most to recovery.

Refine

The protocols were further enhanced with the latest clinical findings and real-world feedback, blending science with hands-on expertise to ensure they’re practical and adaptable.
