On the Ball Pediatric Physio and Occupational Therapy

Fantastic experience: Melissa has really helped our son progress in his development. Couldn't have done it without her support

Fantastic experience: Can not share enough praise and thanks for Melissa, a PT at On the Ball Orleans. My seven month old son has been working with her for about two months and there has been so much progress. Melissa always has a smile on her face and is so good with my son. She gives us stretches and exercises for home that are doable and achieve our goals for him. Would recommend ADDITIONAL NOTE: My twins were born at 33 weeks. After a nicu stay, one of the boys was diagnosed with torticollis and plageocephaly. We started working with Melissa at 4 months old. The other twin joined Melissa later to develop his oral motor muscles as he was having some issues. Melissa also worked with both of them on their gross motor function as they grew. A short 14 months later, today, we had our final visit. The boys have graduated from Melissa’s care. I shed a few tears on the way home, reflecting on how far the boys have come, and also a bit of sadness to no longer have appointments with Melissa. Melissa (I hope you see this) is an incredibly patient and positive human being. The boys always enjoyed their visits, and I took so much from being taught how to properly help them at home. Thank you for doing what you do so well. I would recommend Melissa to anyone, any day.

She handled our baby with the utmost care and provided us with invaluable knowledge that addressed and resolved our baby’s issues. Her expertise and compassionate approach truly set her apart. If you’re in Ottawa and seeking top-notch pediatric physiotherapy or occupational therapy, look no further than Liane. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: They are great!

Fantastic experience: We had our first visit today with Melissa and she went above and beyond our expectations. My 3 year old was nervous and shy at the beginning of the appointment and Melissa (and her student) were patient with her, trying multiple approaches to get her comfortable and to participate, never pressuring her, moving at her own pace. In the car on the way home, my daughter kept saying "I miss her, I want to go back". She explained her findings and next steps clearly to us parents, and kept the focus and attention on having fun and "playing games" while assessing our daughter.

Fantastic experience: Toujours souriante et tellement un bon service.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic clinic! Well organized clinic, helpful and friendly admin staff, and fantastic and professional care from the physiotherapy team. Melissa Jimenez is so good with our son a mind we have seen remarkable progress in his mobility since we started appointments!

Fantastic experience: I find Laurence to not only be an efficient and conscientious therapist for children but someone that will go the extra mile to help. I believe this lends to her sincere dedication and caring for the welfare of her clients and their families.

Fantastic experience: We are so impressed by the facilities and the outstanding help offered by Melissa. The shared information and tips have been so valuable. Despite our best efforts, our child was struggling to walk or be mobile and we didn't know why. Melissa offered clear explanation to his condition which reassured us. Cherry on top was that he gain his confidence in the waiting room of On the Ball on the second visit and walked on his own. Thank you for everything

Fantastic experience: Mon fils et moi avons rencontré Amélie Fecteau à deux reprises afin de soulager une douleur au pied. Amélie est très bonne afin d’obtenir ce qu’elle désire des enfants. Elle n’hésite pas à faire les mouvements au sol afin de bien expliquer à l’enfant comment il doit faire. Elle parle français alors c’était certainement un soulagement de ne pas devoir tout traduire pour mon garçon. J’espère ne plus avoir besoin de ses services mais si c’est le cas, je n’hésiterai pas à y retourner.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. The atmosphere is bright and cheery, as is the staff. Kristi (physio therapy for newborn) is absolutely lovely. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: On the Ball is such a fun place for kids! I felt like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory when I saw their gym. It's world class! We were so lucky to be assigned to Patricia Nguyen who in addition to being an OT expert, is one of the kindest, most caring, and compassionate people we've ever had the great fortune of knowing. My child squealed with delight every time they saw Patricia come down the hall to get us for an OT appointment. We have seen such amazing progress in our child thanks to the help of Patricia. She's lifted such a weight of my shoulders. I can't recommend Patricia and On the Ball enough!

Fantastic experience: We are beyond happy that we found this great place. Melissa is our physio and she’s absolutely wonderful, my daughter always looks forward to her appointment and “playing” with her. The approach is wonderful as they incorporate treatment with playful activities, so kids are always engaged. The establishment is great, completely adapted to kids. The staff at the front desk are always super nice and helpful as well. I recommend their services 1000%

Fantastic experience: Dear On The Ball Pediatric, I would like to take a moment to thank you and especially Sarina Chu for her knowledge, professionalism and compassion. Finding your clinic was a relief during a very difficult and uncertain time in our family. Within 3 sessions we noticed a dramatic difference in our son. Amongst other things, he was able to clearly describe how he feels during different emotions (ex: anger, anxiety, happiness). It was AMAZING! Once he could name and recognize his emotions, we could help him cope with them. Although there is still a lot to work on, our family is so grateful to have found On The Ball Pediatrics' and Sarina. Thank you (again) for everything to date and your continued support. I am excited to see where our obstacle course will take us! From, an appreciative mother: Katherine

Fantastic experience: Out of this world fabulous staff, assessment, and environment! I have never been to a place so well designed for kids where the clinicians are so knowledgeable & engaged, and enjoying their interactions w the kids. My son left feeling like a superstar, and I’m so happy Patricia the OT saw that he really is an awesome kid! Rates were reasonable, payment was easy, and receipts provided promptly for insurance. Worth the long form you have to fill out!

Fantastic experience: The team at On the Ball is absolutely fantastic! Amelie is spectacular - patient, knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. Five stars do not do her or the practice justice - they are beyond exceptional :D

Fantastic experience: On the ball are amazing! The support they have given us is second to none. The patience Melissa has with my son is incredible. He's made incredible progress. I can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Our OT is amazing. So calm and informed. She really engages my 9 year old son when talking to him about self regulation. Super impressed after just 2 appointments.

Fantastic experience: Leane and her physiotherapy team are the best! They explain everything regarding your child's needs, gladly answer all questions and provide excellent service. They truly care about your child's success.

Fantastic experience: “The service amazing and though my pain hasn’t stopped yet, it’s been reduced a deal. Thanks so much all your time trying to help me feel better.” 11-year-old client

Fantastic experience: Laura was so so kind and so knowledgeable. My 10 year old daughter felt very comfortable at the appointment and Laura explained everything very clearly and answered all of our questions. It was my daughter’s first experience with physiotherapy and she enjoyed learning what was happening with her arm injury and how to help it heal. I would definitely recommend Laura and On the Ball Physiotherapy to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been so impressed by our experience at On the Ball Pediatrics. From the very first phone call to schedule an appointment, I could tell that my child would be welcomed and feel comfortable here. My child has had occupational therapy with Nicole and Jordan, and physiotherapy with Liane, and it has made a significant, positive difference for my child. They are all so good with my child, and so great at their jobs. The receptionist, Gail, is also so kind and welcoming. We really feel so comfortable and so supported here. I can’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: We had a session with Niki and she was amazing, from our follow up parent call it was apparent she could make some strategies to support our child.
