What Our Clients Are Saying

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.
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.
My son was getting married and I really wanted to walk up the aisle with my husband. NeuroGym helped me do it.
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.
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.
This place is amazing, it gives people hope and opens doors in so many ways.
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 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.

Avi Nativ, PhD BScPT

Owner, Founder

The NeuroGym® concept was founded over 30 years ago by Avi Nativ PhD (Kinesiology), BScPT. Avi received his doctoral degree in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo, and was a registered physiotherapist in Ontario for more than 25 years. While doing his doctoral and post-doctoral research work, Avi’s focus was on brain organization, plasticity and rehabilitation.

Avi was intrigued with scientific research findings that indicated the remarkable capacity of the brain to adapt after injury, and envisioned how such plastic changes could be encouraged through inventive ways of enabling more patient-initiated, active movement rather than the more conventional passive therapy approaches. Through rigorous research, he developed a line of custom, patented equipment and an evidence-based, active approach which combined have been providing amazing opportunities for those with neurologic injuries (even years post-acute) to continue to improve their motor skills.

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.

Zeinab Garda, MHSc SLP

Orthophoniste

Zeinab est devenue orthophoniste afin d’accompagner ses patients dans leur rétablissement et de les aider à retrouver une qualité de vie malgré les difficultés qu’ils peuvent rencontrer. Elle estime apprendre autant d’eux sur la vie qu’ils apprennent d’elle sur la parole, le langage et la déglutition.

Après avoir obtenu un baccalauréat spécialisé en sciences cognitives du langage à l’Université McMaster et une maîtrise en orthophonie à l’Université d’Ottawa, Zeinab a débuté sa carrière d’orthophoniste en Ontario et au Québec, en milieu privé et communautaire. Forte de ses connaissances et de son expérience, elle a maintenant ouvert son propre cabinet: Hummingbird Speech Therapy.

Plus récemment, Zeinab a rejoint l’équipe de NeuroGym® pour travailler auprès de notre clientèle unique. Elle apporte son expérience en réadaptation post-AVC, en soins aux personnes atteintes de maladies neurodégénératives et en troubles de la déglutition, ainsi que son souci d’offrir des soins stimulants et fonctionnels, centrés sur le patient et basés sur les intérêts et les meilleures pratiques fondées sur la recherche.

Lorsqu’elle n’est pas au travail, Zeinab aime passer du temps avec son chien, cuisiner et découvrir de nouvelles saveurs, ou encore se consacrer à l’art numérique et à la peinture acrylique.
