What Sets Us Apart
Patient-First Care
Every treatment plan is built around you — your body, your goals, your life. We listen before we treat.
Evidence-Based Practice
We use techniques backed by current research, not trends. Your recovery is too important for guesswork.
Whole-Person Approach
Pain doesn't exist in isolation. We look at the full picture — movement, lifestyle, and long-term health.
Same-Day Access
We know pain doesn't wait. Most new patients in Barrhaven are seen same-day or within 48 hours of reaching out.
Why Therapua Exists
Too many patients in Barrhaven were waiting weeks to be seen, then spending 10 minutes with a physiotherapist who barely remembered their name. Liji saw it firsthand — and decided to do something about it.
Therapua was built to be different. Every appointment is one-on-one. Every plan is personalized. And every patient leaves knowing exactly what they're working toward and why. No referral needed — and we support most Canadian insurance companies.
Located near Costco and Marshalls on Strandherd Drive in Barrhaven, we're easy to reach from Nepean and Ottawa South — whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with back, knee, shoulder, neck, ankle or foot pain, or need sports injury physio or concussion rehab.
