Raising the bar for rehabilitation expectations
Our Methodology
What Makes Us Different?
NeuroGym®’s active, evidence-based approach and patented technology allow patients to take action in their own recovery. Whenever possible, the patient, not the therapist, initiates movement, which can help rewire the brain and speed up recovery. When patient-initiated movement is challenging, we use our innovative techniques and tools to help enable motor recovery when it would otherwise be difficult or impossible to accomplish.
The NeuroGym® Therapy Approach
Physiotherapy Clinic
Our evidence-based approach optimizes recovery by creating a neurological gym program for the recovering brain and nervous system. This requires active patient involvement and intensive training.
Safe and effective strength training
Biofeedback training of control and coordination
Innovative training of balance and stability

Experience State
of the Art Technology
The NeuroGym® line of patented mobility training equipment, developed by our Founder Avi Nativ (PhD PT), makes rehabilitation more effective by enabling retraining and recovery. Acquired by Medline in 2018, The NeuroGym® line of equipment is now being used successfully across North America to improve mobility and functional independence. This equipment allows those who cannot stand or would otherwise not typically expect to see significant improvements in motor abilities to drastically improve their functional skills and regain independence, including:
- Standing, walking & running
- Stair climbing
- Fine motor tasks
- Activities of daily living
Sit to Stand Trainer®
An active training device that enables graduated support of the standing and sitting motion using a counter-weight mechanism.
Exercise Wheelchair®
Converts from a standard wheelchair into a dynamic resistance flexion & extension exercise machine for the trunk and lower extremities.
Bungee Mobility Trainer®
Mobile body support system that re-educates walking ability. Improves dynamic balance skills needed to prevent falls.
NeuroGym Trainer®
Mobile biofeedback device that uses input from various sensors to target muscle activity/movement and control the action of computer games in order to regain motor control and coordination.
Pendulum Stepper®
Self-assisted trainer of reciprocal stepping, lower extremity strength, endurance, and range of motion.
Ankle Trainer®
Enables training and strengthening of targeted ankle muscles, even in paretic ankles that have minimal strength and control.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
The NeuroGym® Clinic works in collaboration with the Neuro-Outaouais Medical Clinic to offer a unique program that combines rTMS treatments followed by intensive physical therapy for people who have suffered a stroke.Client Stories
Our Services
Physiotherapy
Hand Centre
Clinique NeuroGym®’s Hand Centre is focused on providing upper extremity care to improve arm and hand mobility and function.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
rTMS is a non-invasive form of brain treatment. Recent studies have shown that combining rTMS with physiotherapy can provide a more significant recovery of motor function.
Pediatric Physiotherapy
The pediatric physiotherapy offered at Neurogym can aide children and adolescents, from the ages of 0 to 18, with any motor skill deficits that might be affecting their development.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Enhance vestibular function with proper adaptive strategies. Our therapeutic goals aim to improve the physical impairments that originate from a vestibular condition.
