Fantastic experience: Years of head, neck, back and hip pain escalated to a point I could no longer handle, so I decided to try an osteopath for the first time. I’m SO glad I found Adnan Osteopathy as he has genuinely changed my life even within the first session. Adnan is professional, respectful and clearly extremely skilled in releasing years of pain and stress. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Adnan is a miracle worker! For 3 months I struggled with terrible tension headaches and routinely went to chiro, physio and acupuncture. I would get limited relief and continue to feel constant fatigue. Within 1 visit to Adnan I was 90 percent better. I had so much more mobility and my headaches were almost gone. He is able to treat issues with a whole body focus. He is so knowledgeable and a leader in his field. I have recommended him to all my family and friends. I know why he continues to be voted best in Ottawa.
Fantastic experience: After years of seeing chiropractors and still having pain, Adnan has provided more relief than any chiropractor has. He is very knowledgeable and has been a game changer for joint pain!
Fantastic experience: Adnan is very professional and you can clearly see that he cares for what he does. I have been to see him 3 times already and he has done wonders since the very first appointment. I came to see him as I had a lot of lower back pain post-partum from the epidural placement. After seeing different professionals for the last 10 months, I was getting hopeless and Adnan truly changed everything. Very highly recommended and if I can give him 10 stars, I would. Thank you Adnan!!
Fantastic experience: Adnan is a highly skilled and compassionate osteopath renowned for his expertise and innovative techniques. He has a profound understanding of the human body and employs a variety of methods to address and alleviate pain effectively. Adnan's approach is holistic, focusing not only on the symptoms but also on the underlying causes of discomfort. His dedication and tailored treatments have made a remarkable difference in many patients' lives. For instance, my daughter suffered from chronic pain for nearly two years, and despite numerous consultations with other professionals, her condition did not improve. However, since she began receiving treatment from Adnan, her pain has significantly reduced, and her overall well-being has improved immensely. Adnan's ability to diagnose and treat complex issues sets him apart as a leading figure in his field. His commitment to patient care and continuous learning ensures that he provides the best possible outcomes for those who suffer.
Fantastic experience: Adnan provides excellent treatment, consultation, and professional service.
Fantastic experience: Ottawa's best Osteopath! As a professional athlete, my body goes through a lot. I went to Adnan for treatment on my knees and hips. He was able to fix my injuries using these effective techniques that I've never seen before. He also gave me some insight and stretches on how to prevent these injuries from reoccurring. Adnan is an amazing & extremely knowledgeable Osteopath. He is also very passionate about his job. I highly recommend anyone seeking an alternative to seeking a chiropractor, or a masseuse. Adnan is the best of the best. I now know why he was voted top Osteopath in Ottawa.
Fantastic experience: I have been wrestling with chronic shoulder and arm pain for the past three years, tried physiotherapy and massages, with little relief. I was considering surgery. However, my perspective shifted dramatically after just four sessions with Adnan. Adnan's approach to treatment proved to be a game-changer for me. The significant improvement in my condition after a few sessions has left me genuinely grateful for his expertise. He goes above and beyond to ensure that he treats individuals to the best of his abilities. This personalized and dedicated approach sets him apart from other practitioners I've encountered. Thanks to Adnan's skillful intervention, I am back on the road to recovery but also rediscovering the full potential of my left arm and shoulder. If you find yourself in a similar predicament, I wholeheartedly recommend Adnan. His expertise, coupled with a genuine concern for his clients, makes him a standout professional in the field (#1).
Fantastic experience: Very professional and thorough.
Negative experience: turned out you can not do hard massage on tendon with tearing. I told him my conditions and ultrasound report and he did it anyway and I let him because I thought he must know what he was doing with so many years of experience and impressive resume. how can that be? now I know why I was so painful after that.
Fantastic experience: After two years of treatments by physios, massage therapists and ofc doctors, this is the first treatment that relieved my pain and improved my flexibility. After my third treatment, I woke up today with no pain for the first time in months. It’s kind of like a massage, but with more moving and rocking the joints back and forth. I did not find it painful at all. Adnan checked in with me throughout.
Fantastic experience: Here is the best osteopath I ever met. You can trust him. He is honest and seriously wish you sooner recovery. Number one in Ottawa
Fantastic experience: I know Dr Tahirovic since 8 years. He is the most compassionate osteopath I ever met. He takes time to understand your problem and sincerely wants to help. here is very available. I do not think osteopaths are getting better than that.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to multiple physios and chiros for my jaw issues (tmd) with no progress whatsoever. Adnan was very knowledgeable and his treatment helped tremendously. Id give him 10 stars if i could.
Fantastic experience: One word - Amazing! I’ve suffered from knee pain for years, 14 to be specific. I’ve done all the therapy, physio, chiro, massage, acupuncture, dry needling, cupping etc to relieve the pain. Nothing worked. I have seen more progress with Adnan in 2 appointments then I have ever had before. I love his philosophy on life and hope that everything is fixable. He is located in a convenient location with free parking. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Annan was referred to me by a friend who was thrilled with his osteopathic techniques. After two appointments so far, I can honestly say that Adnan has provided the most thorough treatment procedures ever . 5 stars for sure .
Fantastic experience: Adnan is the best therapist I have ever had.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is an excellent Osteopath who is effective and knowledgeable. His therapy helped my shoulder injury to resolve. I now have full range of motion without any pain.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is one of the best if not the best practitioner I dealt with. Beside exquisite professionalism he is very responsive to the clients' needs, so any session appears to be collaborative, and collaboration is always the best way to success :). And - the most important - his magic works! Adnan really helps me as with my old scars inherited from sporty past and with newly acquired spastic / vertebral problems. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: When I first went to see Adnan I was in tears from chronic lower back pain, related to an injury I’d suffered to my calcaneus, that had thrown off my gate. I had seen countless physiotherapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists to help me but NOTHING had worked. I felt defeated like this would be my new normal and it was hard to believe at only 40 years old, I would live like this forever. After only one session, this man changed my life…ONE SESSION!!! When I left his office, I was instead in tears of happiness because for the first time in 8 months I could bend down with no pain. He is SO knowledgeable in his craft, he is kind and he truly listens and cares about fixing your individual issue. He’s now treated my son for his knee pain, my sister in law for her back pain and a family friend who recently has undergone a series of surgeries. There is no one I wouldn’t recommend him too. A true thank you to Adnan…meeting you has literally changed my future.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been dealing with chronic wrist, neck and shoulder pain for a year now, I have tried multiple treatments before (physiotherapy, chiropractic, massaging) nothing did help release the tension and stress but Adnan’s treatments. After 3 sessions only I can feel I’m going in the right path to healing and be normal again. definitely would recommend him, he does treat you to the best of his abilities and with consciousness.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is very passionate about helping his patients. He is a very humble, respectful, knowledgeable, and hardworking person. His clinic is 5/5 clean. He amazed me with my initial visit, when I was suffering from groin pain. My groin pain went away on the 2nd day. He also helped me with my lower back pain. Today, he focused on my sciatic pain, and I trust that within this week --goodbye sciatica!
Fantastic experience: I am relieved Adnan is back on business after few months on break. My back and neck needed a deep alignment! Please note the address has changed to 1827 Woodward Dr. Effective and available without selling you more treatments. After trying another osteo and seeing no results for my lower back pain, my colleague suggested Adnan Ostheopathy. I was amazed to not be sore anymore with only just one session! He targets your problematic area, fixes it and then checks the rest of your body for adjustments. Even if I am not in pain, I feel better than after a Swedish massage.
Dear Ivone, thank you for taking your time and writing the review. It means a lot to me.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is back but the address on Google is wrong. He is located at 1827 Woodward suite 214. 5 star as always! Adnan est de retour mais l'adresse sur Google est erronée. Il est maintenant au 1827 Woodward suite 214. Service 5 étoiles comme toujours!
Fantastic experience: I am a big fan of Adnan’s work.He is so passionate about helping others and I highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I was having terrible back aches for 2 years. I went to physio, chiro, and massages, but nothing seemed to help too much. I finally found Adnan and went to 3 sessions, and what a difference it made, my back feels so much better than before. I still have pain that comes and goes but Adnan showed me some stretching exercises that are very helpful. I must admit that the sessions can be intense, but it works!
Many thanks for taking the time to write the review. I am very, very happy the treatments help.
Fantastic experience: I have been experiencing lower back pain since a car accident in 2016. I have sought various treatments (massage, chiro, physio) which all only provided temporary relief but my problem persisted and I would have sciatica flare-ups every few months. Recently I was experiencing the worst flare-up ever and was diagnosed with a bulging disc. I was unable to get myself out of bed or even to the bathroom on my own. I saw Adnan for treatment and could barely walk to get into the building. A few minutes into my first treatment I felt immediate relief. My muscles have stopped spasming and I walked out of the apt feeling like a brand new person! Adnan is thorough in his assessment and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Adnan!
Brenna, I am very happy I could help. Thank you for finding time to write about your experience.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is the best! He has helped me in many ways. I wish I had something wrong with me so I could go and see him, because I always feel better after seeing him. Highly recommend.
Thank you, Ashley.
Fantastic experience: I found Adnan through Google and glad I did. By the time I called to book an appointment I was desperate for help. He was able to see me right away. He does a great job with finding all the tension areas in your body. I was at the point I could barely open my mouth and couldn't rub my lips together anymore hes help tremendously improve my jaw movememt again. Same with issues in my neck that led to my muscles being so tight I didn't have good mobility which caused my jaw issues in the first place. I would highly recommend his services he knows what he's doing
Dear Felicia, thank you very much for your warm review. I am thrilled I could help
Fantastic experience: I am a big fan of Adnan's work. I went to him with an acute muscular ache, which he verbally investigated for some time before getting hands on and working on the problem area. I won't lie -- it was not comfortable having him work on a very tender area, but by the time he was done, I already had way more mobility in the area and even a little less pain. By the next day, I was feeling vastly improved compared to before the session and over the next few days I returned to full functionality with no pain. So based on that experience, I went back to have him work on a couple of more chronic musculoskeletal issues I have and he also worked wonders on those, while explaining to me how to prevent them from coming back. I should point out that I was quite skeptical going in that he could help me at all. I am definitely now a believer. I cannot recommend Adnan strongly enough.
Scott, thank you so much for your kind review. I am so happy I could help.
Fantastic experience: Whether it is as an osteopath or yoga teacher, Adnan excels as a therapist. His extensive knowledge of the anatomy and experience with a variety of techniques/practices allow him to target the specific areas requiring attention and provide for a customized treatment. Adnan is fantastic and I highly recommend him.
Martin, it is very kind of you. Thank you very much for the review.
Fantastic experience: Adnan was fantastic. His approach is holistic and he really listens to what the issue is and works with you until you get results. I walked into his office in a great amount of pain. I was given some pretty strong pain relievers and muscle relaxants by my doctor and the pain still made it hard to get around and sleep. The difference after only one session was amazing. I felt like a new person. The next day I did not need to take anything for pain, I was still stiff and sore but not in pain. I would highly recommend him.
Dear Lauri, thank you so much for the feedback. I am thrilled I could help!
Fantastic experience: Adnan is a healer in every sense of the word. The combination of techniques applied to the principles of Osteopathic treatment and his ability to ask the proper questions lead to fixing a chronic problem with my TF joint. Note, I had gone to see many specialists prior to seeing him. He not only makes it his priority to heal you but will take the time to provide information/explanations of the treatment as well as exercises/stretches that will complement what he has done.
Thank you, Jonathan. It means a lot to me.
Fantastic experience: I have come upon Adnan's name by browsing the Net and am compelled to write the review so to help other people in discovering his amazing osteopathic practice.While dealing with ongoing discomfort in my hands and shoulders I have visited every single health professional from massage therapist,chiropractor,naturopathic doctor and physiotherapist and some of them were beneficial to the certain degree,none lasting longer than a few days..His approach differs from others as he takes YOUR ENTIRE BODY AS A WHOLE and treats it as such.He is very knowledgeable of body's anatomy and physiology,explains all the aspects of his treatment,and moves your entire body in order to help you alleviate the pain.HIGHLY RECOMMENDING HIM.
Thank you so, so much!
Fantastic experience: Adnan is the best osteopath thus far. He is very knowledgeable in osteopathy and incorporates various techniques in his practice. I’m very impressed. I have been feeling much better since my visits. Thank you Adnan.
Thank you, Susan. I am glad you are feeling much better.
Fantastic experience: I'm very grateful for the care and great professionalism that Adnan provides.
Thank you, Tim. Your review is highly appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is a miracle worker. I highly recommend Adnan for his skills, knowledge, and compassion.
You are very kind Lori
Fantastic experience: I had my first visit with Adnan one week ago. Since then I have been able to sleep on my back comfortably and pain free for the first time in over a year! For my lower back pain I have seen a physiotherapist, chiropractor and massage therapy and taken much pain medication. I wish I had been referred to Adnan much sooner! He is extremely knowledgeable of the body mechanics and his experience shows in the significant results I am feeling after only one visit. He showed me how to reposition myself to help realign my pelvis and now I barely feel lowed back pain. I look forward to a couple more sessions with Adnan and to learn from him how to be proactive to minimize my chances of further injuries reoccurring.
Thank you, Jessica. I am glad I could help.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is a real professional!! On my first visit I could barely climb the stairs to go in his office, when I came out I was almost pain free. He has a good knowledge of the body and will tell you what is good or bad for you. I'm at my third visit and I feel 100% better!!!
Daniel, I am very happy I could help.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience with Adnan. Having dealt with neck pain for the past six months, this is the best I’ve felt in a long time. After a couple appointments where we weren’t seeing the results we’d hoped, Adnan had the flexibility to change up the treatment he was providing and we found a method that’s worked wonders for pain relief. I’ll continue to see Adnan for any similar issues in the future.
Thank you, Darren. It means a lot to me.
Fantastic experience: After suffering from shoulder pain for 5 months, a friend suggested I try osteopathy. I honestly can say, this is the best my shoulder has felt in a long while. Adnan takes a holistic total body approach which has been key in my recovery. I highly recommend Adnan for his great work :)
Jo-Anne, thank you. I appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Amazing at his job very passionate and has saved me from dropping 3000 dollars at these fake practitioners claiming to be able to help with my condition with 80 sessions 5 minutes each. I cant thank you enough for your help!
Thank you. Your comment really means a lot to me.
Fantastic experience: I had been struggling with chest and back pain for awhile and after a long process of trial and errors for diagnoses, I was told I had costochondritis- which seemingly had no real cure to it. After seeing Adnan for the first time I was brought to literal tears from an emotional and physical release that had been built up for along time. He knew exactly what to do and has a wonderful approach to the philosophy of the mind-body which creates a precise and hands on technique. He is extremely well versed in all aspects of Osteopathy and gives various and personal techniques to each patient, that they can bring back home with them & continue off his wonderful work by themselves. He has a calming and comforting approach to his work that makes you feel welcomed and comfortable in his hands, I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone dealing with any sort of physical pains or in need of an expertise. After only two meetings with him my chest and back pains have basically vanished due to his work whereas no other doctor (of all sorts) could help me. He truly is the best you can get!
Thank you very much, Emily.
Fantastic experience: I've been for 2 different issues and Adnan was able to help me get pain free quickly. He has advanced knowledge of the body and uses different techniques including simple at home exercises. Highly recommend.
Thank you, Nathalie. Please keep up with these home exercises.
Fantastic experience: I have seen adnan several times over the years. Particularly when I'm having pain, and I am always surprised at his ability to help me. Truly a find, here in Ottawa
Fantastic experience: i have been to so many practitioners, doctors, acupuncturists, chiropractors, sports medicine therapists, feldenkreis, massage therapists and none compare to my yosteo sessions with adnan. He is a magician! What can say, other than regular sessions with him when I'm having episodes of muscle and tendon soft tissue pain help me tremendously. He also complements the once a week treatments by analyzing the problem(s); after which he prescribes simple exercises from his extensive yoga background and osteopathic professional background that can be done even at work, with a chair or a door or a wall which Work!.. N T
Neil, thank you so, so much!
Fantastic experience: Without going into too much detail, Adnan is a life saver. Adnan has helped me recover from a traumatizing lower back injury on two occasions. The first was when I was 25 years old, having strained my lower back from too much physical activity (a combination of sports and gym), that left me in so much pain my day to day tasks were severely impaired. I sought for Adnan's help following some quick research online. Adnan was nothing short of fantastic in not only helping relieving the agony with his manual therapy, but ultimately finding the root cause of the problem (assessment revealed I had tight hamstrings, glutes) to be something that had to be strengthened to ensure it would not happen again in the future - and shared with me critical stretches to help with muscle coordination and flexibility that I now factor in daily. Adnan is patient, knowledgeable, and capable. For anyone hoping to improve their body mechanics, not only to heal injury, but to prevent it, I highly recommend Adnan.
Thank you Peter. I am glad I could help.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Adnan to anyone. He was professional and incredibly skilled. He resolved my issue within one session. He also took the time to educate me about his technique (explained why he was using certain techniques/how they would help my issue), as well as demonstrated/walked me through several stretches I could continue on my own.
Sara, thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Adnan is an outstanding practitioner and basically saved me! My work related stress was causing multiple pain problems for me, and Adnan combined osteopathy and tui na techniques to get my body back to normal. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and does a great job explaining what he is doing and why, which is important to me. I continue to go back to him for tune ups when needed, and highly recommend him to others!
Fantastic experience: Adnan treated my foot for plantar fasciatis some time ago. He impressed me in more ways than one. First, his professional attitude sets the tone for the appointment from the very beginning. Second, his dedication to helping his patients is apparent in how he approaches the problem to be addressed and how he conducts the treatment. Third, his post-treatment discussion with patients provides a clear guidance as to how to approach their own healing at home and combine home exercises with future Adnan's treatments. Fourth, Adanan's apparent knowledge and understanding of human body are exteremely impressive and reassuring. All-in-all, Adanan is a rare example of a highly professional individual who sincerely wants to help his patients and is highly invested in the treatments he provides. I cannot recommend him enough.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Adnan over the last year. I had been looking for an Osteopath for last couple of years. After the first treatment I knew I had found the Osteopath I was looking for. Being in my late 60’s I have accumulated a number of physical complaints. Adnan’s holistic whole body approach works. My chronic neck and shoulder problems have but disappeared. I never cease to be amazed by his knowledge and novel approach. I have sent friends to him and they have also had great results. Harold
Thank you for your kind words, Harold.
Fantastic experience: Great profesionalni. Free parking for customers
Fantastic experience: After a half hour osteopathic treatment with Adnan, my hips are aligned and they do not give any more trouble. The pain is gone and I don’t have to worry.
Fantastic experience: Adnan’s technique is very effective at treating my specific condition. I highly recommend osteopathy who struggle with pain!
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Adnan was able to tailor his approach to my specific needs and concerns.
