Raising the bar for rehabilitation expectations

Welcome to NeuroGym®, an international physiotherapy and rehabilitation centre for the treatment of neurological injuries & conditions.

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

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

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:

What Our Clients Are Saying

I have MS, I’ve had MS since I was 18. My doctors had said “no, it’s chronic progressive”. But NeuroGym has given me the opportunity to build strength. It’s made a huge difference.
I found NeuroGym after my mum had a massive stroke in February 2020. After 4 months of virtual therapy with NeuroGym, my mum has progressed from someone who I thought would never get out of bed to a one person assist.
This place is amazing, it gives people hope and opens doors in so many ways.
When I first came here I had almost no strength in my legs and I could barely move my right leg. You can imagine going from not being able to move at all, to standing, to being able to walk! This is the way for me to stay in shape and stay healthy.
My son was getting married and I really wanted to walk up the aisle with my husband. NeuroGym helped me do it.
I have Parkinson’s Disease. Over the months I have improved in both strength and balance while my disease has not noticeably deteriorated at all. I feel fortunate to have found NeuroGym. The outlook for my disease without it could have been grim indeed.
I was in a bad state and was discharged home in a coma. Then I began with Avi and the growth was exponential. The rest is history, I was here for twelve years. It’s a great place, I can’t express my thanks enough.
Our son had a stroke when he was 14 years old. He has been involved in five to seven day a week therapy. The recovery has been amazing. It’s been beyond expectations and dramatic.

Peng Tan, R.Kin, R.M.T

Kinesiologist, Registered Massage Therapist

Peng entered the field of rehabilitation without any clear direction, initially choosing it out interest rather than passion. Over the course of his studies and practice he discovered a career path supporting individuals on their journeys toward good health and well-being.

After completing his BSc in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa and working as a Personal Trainer and Kinesiologist, Peng decided to expand his practice by studying Massage Therapy at the International Academy of Applied Health. He now maintains dual disciplines and is continuing his academic journey while practicing, presently pursuing his Master’s in Psychology, Diploma in Acupuncture, and Diploma in Osteopathy.

Peng takes a holistic approach to therapy, combining his knowledge of kinesiology and massage therapy to create treatments that address both the physical and mental aspects of well-being. He enjoys enhancing his skills and actively seeks out innovative approaches and incorporates new techniques into his treatments. Peng prides himself on providing personalized and effective treatments that make a positive and practical impact on the individual’s well-being.

When Peng isn’t working or studying, he can be found playing volleyball, bouldering, solving puzzles, or learning woodworking. At home, he enjoys the company of his three cats, cherishing the moments of happiness they bring.
