    I was hesitant to try chiropractic treatment but after meeting with Dr. Baird and her team, I was curious enough about the potential benefits to my overall health to try. Iā€™m glad I did - it has improved my form and resolved recurrent headaches and numbness in my hands. This place is clean, efficient and the staff is so very friendly. I recently started massage therapy here too and will make that a regular part of my self-care routine. Highly recommend!

    I have been going to Curavita in the Glebe for the past 8 months for physio with Ben. The reception weather it be Valerie, Jeremy or one of the many others have always been very friendly and more than helpful to make sure I was comfortable while waiting for my appointment. Ben was great, patient and pushed me just enough to get my leg back to its old self. Extremely professional and courteous! 10/10 would recommend

    A relaxing environment and the most welcoming staff! I went to see Dr. Higgins for ongoing headaches caused by neck and back pain. She takes the time to educate and explain the symptoms you're experiencing, allowing you to make informed decisions about your care. She works with you to create a progressive care plan that meets your needs and equips you with the tools to achieve and maintain your goals. Her extensive knowledge, attention to detail, and willingness to communicate have created a fantastic experience for me. I have enjoyed the care I've received from Dr. Higgins and highly recommend her to anyone looking to get chiropractic care.

    Had massage therapy with Gary and he was truly amazing. He addressed my issue directly and we were able to point out the origin of the pain and stretches to help with it. The massage itself was very good and relaxing.

    I've been a casual massage therapy client at CURAVITA for a few years but recently visited the Glebe clinic for help with a chronic plantar fasciitis problem. I received treatment from Shreya Patel, physiotherapist, and Dr. Kate Higgins, chiropractor, and have seen so much improvement and pain relief through these treatments. I am now able to walk pain-free, am beginning to scale up my workouts at the gym so that I can get back to the volume of exercise I am used to and, in general, because of the chiropractic care have noticed huge improvements in how my body feels overall.

    Dr. Kate Higgins has been a huge help with my recovery from lower back pain. I had been struggling with this issue for many years, and within a few weeks I was feeling much better. Dr. Higgins tailors the recovery plan to each individual for the best results utilizing stretching and strengthening exercises. Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing chiropractic work.

  • 5/5 Alain D. 11 months ago on Google
    Shreya is attentive and very supportive in her assessment and the physiotherapy care she provides. Her qualifications and experience come through in her interaction and you cant help but feel that you will feel better after each treatment.

    Have been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Higgins at Curavita for a couple weeks now, and itā€™s been a huge help. Dr. Higgins is always professional and takes great care to explain and to provide advice. The Glebe location is well laid out and the receptionists are warm and welcoming. Scheduling has never been an issue as Dr. Higginsā€™ availability has allowed me to plan around my full-time job.

  • 5/5 Erin D. 10 months ago on Google
    Dr. Higgins and the team at Curavita are very knowledgeable and friendly! I always feel better after a visit. Part of the treatment is tailored stretches and exercises for helping to strengthen my back where itā€™s needed most, as well as working with any specific needs I may have. Highly recommended!

    I've been a patient of Dr. Baird's for many years, and even after relocating, I couldn't find a chiropractor who matched her level of expertise. So, I travel back to Ottawa just to continue receiving Dr. Baird's exceptional service.

  • 5/5 Chrystal B. 10 months ago on Google
    Ever since I was a kid, I have always had a fear of chiropractors. The thought of having someone put pressure on my body to crack my bones terrified then and continued to present day. After hurting my back and in dire pain, a co-worker recommended the staff at Curavita. I immediately declined yet she assured me that chiropractors have changed the way they practice and to trust her. I made an appointment and even from chatting with the receptionist, I could feel their loving warmth and support. I went to my first appointment and my whole idea of chiropractic care has changed. Not only is Dr. Higgins a friendly and caring individual, she is supportive and takes the time to explains everything. I told her of my fear and she guided me through each step putting my mind at ease. My outlook on going to see a chiropractor has changed for the better. Thank you Dr. Higgins you have made me a chiropractic believer.

    I've had seemingly irremediable lower back problems for years thanks to a long history of sport related injuries. I had always been skeptical of chiropractic care as a solution and generally opted for a combination of exercise, athletic therapy, physiotherapy, and massage therapy instead. A couple of months ago I decided to take advantage of CURAVITA's "Discover Chiropractic" week and met Dr. Baird who took me through an initial assessment, addressing any concerns or doubts that I had while taking the time to explain to me what I might expect to see in terms of quantifiable progress after a course of chiropractic care. I learned more about my body and how it functions in that first session than I had in years, which gave me hope. After a couple of months of a couple of visits with Dr. Baird each week, my back is now more mobile and functional than it has been in years. I have seen a considerable difference in my ability to consistently perform at a high level in sport without feeling held back by constant injury. It's nice to wake up feeling my age again, instead of twice that. I now consider chiropractic care to have been a missing piece of the puzzle in my healthcare practices. Over the past few years I have received treatment from ~90% of the practitioners at CURAVITA Glebe. Each member of the team is consistently kind, caring, and positive - from reception to massage, to chiro. I look forward to every visit knowing that I'll leave feeling better than when I walked in!

    Dr. Baird is the absolute best chiropractor! After multiple concussions and dealing with persistent back pain and headaches, I began seeing Dr. Baird. The chiropractic treatment I have received from Dr.Baird has made a life-changing difference for me. I highly recommend her and the clinic to anyone! Front desk administrators are also fantastic and friendly, especially Valerie & Mariana, they always make booking seamless and are quick to respond to all my questions and concerns!

  • 5/5 Peter L. 1 year ago on Google
    I just recently completed successful physio therapy with Curavita and physiotherapist Ben Tobali. What a wonderful team of friendly and professional people. Kudos for Benā€™s knowledge and skill as a physiotherapist, and his patience with me. Thanks for the cheerful ladies at the front desk who always greeted me with a smile and friendly familiarity that made me feel at home despite the pain that brought me there. Iā€™m now pain free after a few weeks of visiting Curavita, and very thankful for their care.

Especial thanks to Ben Tobali (Physiotherapist) Dr Braid (quiroprĆ”ctor) and Gary Pynder (RMT) and all the front desk staff ! Simply u guys are the best !

    I have been seeing Dr. Higgins for the past 2 months and I truly only have good things to say. I seeked out chiropractic care because of recurring migraines & neck pain and Iā€™ve seen such a big improvement since Iā€™ve started. I was skeptical in the beggining as I have never been to a chiropractor but Dr. Higgins really guided me through the whole process and made it so easy for me to understand. She takes the time to explain what she is doing and how it will help my problem areas. It has truly been a night and day difference for my migraines and overall posture/neck pain and Iā€™m super grateful! She also works to strengthen these muscles for long term benefits. Super friendly and caring environment overall. I highly recommend!

    Iā€™ve gone to Kelly B twice for a massage and I was incredibly impressed both times. I also really appreciated that she was quiet and let me relax in silence. Iā€™ve had way too many massages at other clinics where the therapist treats it like a gab fest and when I leave Iā€™m more stressed and tense than I was when I walked in! Iā€™d recommend Kelly to anybody and I plan on booking another appointment with her very soon.

  • 5/5 Andrea S. 1 year ago on Google
    I first saw Dr. Higgins a year ago when I had excruciating back pain. She has the magic touch and totally saved my back. She takes the time to listen and clearly explain things in a way that I can understand. Iā€™ve truly enjoyed the care I have received from Dr. Higgins and completely trust her expertise. You will be in good, capable hands!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google
    Iā€™ve lost track of how many years Iā€™ve been receiving massages with Kelly C-H. Sheā€™s helped me recover from various injuries and/of illnesses over the years. She has also provided me great suggestions on stretches to do at home. Iā€™ve seen other members of the team as well and I really like the interdisciplinary care Iā€™ve received. Definitely my go to place!

  • 2/5 jasie s. 1 year ago on Google
    just had a massage with Gary. From all the good reviews i was expecting a better massage but it was just okay. It was pretty good towards the second half of the hour but the first half hour was not feeling good. Although he was very nice and pleasant and tried, i felt he wasnā€™t really getting the right spots and i tried to explain what i needed but my instructions werenā€™t really followed until the end. UPDATE: I never said I expected a miracle after one session but I shouldnā€™t have left feeling upset about paying in the same hour. It should have been relieving at least immediatelyā€¦Gary was not gentle and would often push so hard to the point his hands were shakingā€¦ not exactly relaxing for a pregnant ladyā€¦ i asked for a pregnancy massage not a freaking swedish massage

  • 5/5 Abou Moussa, L. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Kate Higgins and her staff are super friendly. Dr. Higgins is very professional and knowledgeable. I always feel so much better after an adjustment. She gave me many great tips for working on the weak muscles that cause pain. She is not just helping me get rid of the pain but teaching me how to prevent the pain in the future with exercise. I recommend her to anyone looking to get chiropractic treatments done! Keep up the excellent work!

  • 5/5 Rose E. 1 year ago on Google
    Iā€™ve been getting massages with Kelly McDermid for a few weeks and WOW. She really listens to me, my body, and adjusts her approach and offers advice. She answers all my questions and keeps a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Itā€™s been a tough and stressful time for me and I truly appreciate her and her work. Thank you, Kelly!

  • 5/5 Nisha N. 1 year ago on Google
    I was referred to Curavita by an old workmate. I presented initially with mid back and neck pain which was eased within the first week of treatment. As the weeks went on I was also treated for low back pain I was suffering due to breastfeeding. Dr Higgins was knowledgeable, understanding and approachable whenever I had a question about my care or query in general. I have recommended Dr Higgins and Curavita to a few friends already and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. I'm thoroughly satisfied with my care!

  • 5/5 Sarah O. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Higgins. My transition from intense pain due to sciatica to a much stronger, healthier and pain-free back is due to her expertise. She really listens to you which makes all the difference. I highly recommend working with Dr. Higgins not just in times of pain but for your continuing health as well!

  • 5/5 Rose E. 1 year ago on Google
    A huge thank you to PT Ben! The dry needling sessions on my shoulder and back have been very helpful! I especially appreciate how he confers with my chiropractor, Dr. Baird, so that they can coordinate their treatment. Iā€™ve seen a lot of improvement and have trusted Ben since the first session (which is definitely necessary when it comes to needling)! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Jason N. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great clinic and I highly recommend it. I was training for the Ottawa marathon and I had put out my back out, Dr. Kate Higgins was able to get me moving again. Just when my sessions with her were winding down, I pulled something in my knee at hockey and she was able to assess it during one of my chiropractic appointments and recommended that I see her colleague Ben Tobali, one of the clinics physiotherapists. After several sessions he was able to guide my recovery and I was able to run my race when it was looking very bleak. Thank you Kate and Ben!

    From the moment you step into the clinic you are made to feel comfortable. The front staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Our experience with Dr Brough and Dr Baird has always been wonderful. My family has used this clinic for many years and have only good things to say about the quality of service provided.

    I have had lower back pain for years. Doctor Beckett was is knowledgeable and has helped me feel balanced and positive about the future of physical activity. Her strategy has been comprehensive and I have definitely seen major improvement in my posture and quality of life as a result.

    I have seen Melanie the past few times and she is always amazing! The new location is also incredible. I recommend this place and Melanie to everyone I know!

  • 5/5 R. C. 4 years ago on Google
    I have had massage and chiropractic care here. I think this is an excellent run organization that provides excellent care. If you are looking for any of their services I am confident in saying they are some of the best in the city.

    Dr Brough is the worst chiropractor, he is all about the money . He doesnā€™t listen to you , he always in the rush to the next patience . I would not recommend this chiropractor
