Eli literally changed my life. As a chronic pain sufferer, I've seen results I had long given up hope were ever possible. Not only have the treatments given me back a lot of my lost mobility, I always feel understood and respected. Eli looks at the entire system to find the root cause, unlike other practitioners who merely treat the symptoms. I'm so grateful to have found Eli!

Life changing! Eli has addressed pains I thought I was just going to have to live with forever. I have recommended him to literally everyone who has ever complained about an injury or chronic pain they’re dealing with.mentions Eli Denham →

Look no further if you need holistic, dedicated, informed, caring and professional physiotherapy. I was very fortunate to have found the talented Jess whose care has been nothing short of phenomenal. While it is unfortunate that I need physiotherapy treatment, I consider myself lucky to receive it here. Shout out to the kind Kim who makes everyone feel welcome in this space.

I don’t have enough good things to say about First Step Physio. Front desk people are the sweetest and kindest and everyone is very friendly. Eli is incredibly knowledgeable about all things and has helped me through frozen shoulder, a bad hip, TMJ and neck problems. Your time will fly by even as you can have discomfort from the treatment. He is usually booked up but when you put yourself in a cancellation list a spot frees up pretty fast.

I had a Hawkins type 2 talus ankle fracture + displacement. Eli did an extraordinary job helping me with my physio. Less than 1 year following the break, I am jogging, walking without a limp and doing everything back to normal. The doctor at the Ottawa civic said my recovery has been possibly the best he’s ever seen. I owe a lot of my recovery to Eli. Thank you. 6/5 stars if I could.

Last year I had significant foot issues which I found out at my first appointment that stemmed from my back. Eli helped me and I would recommend him to anyone. I had wemt to several foot doctors who all said I had to get special shoes and there was nothing they could do. I am happy to report, I am now wearing my regular heels and feeling fantastic. Thank you :) :)

I have nothing but positive things to say about First Step Physio. Eli is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I have damaged discs that cause migraines and pain. Eli is the only medical professional that I've seen in the last 10 years who has helped make a significant and lasting improvement to my health and quality of life. Kim is very friendly and hospitable, the offices are clean and modern, and their online booking system is a breeze. Highly recommend!

The BEST physiotherapist you will find anywhere! He has saved me from shoulder surgery on a couple of occasions. He is very friendly and professional and is truly passionate about movement and the human body. I cannot say enough positive things about this clinic! Kim at the front desk is lovely to chat with while you wait to start your treatment. Everyone needs an Eli in their life to stay healthy and moving!

I have seen Eli for the last couple years and he has truly helped me. Last year I tore my right rotator cuff and with Eli's help I was able to recover to a functional level quickly and keep working at a pretty physical job. I still see him every 4 to 6 weeks for a tune up. Highly recommend.

First Step Physio is outstanding! I've seen many other physiotherapist in the past with no success. After receiving my first session with Eli, I was on the route to recovery immediately. I will never go anywhere else. The receptionist is very friendly and makes delicious complimentary coffee. The clinic is very clean and private. I highly recommend it!!!!!!!
