What Physio Extra does

PhysioExtra is a Quebec-based multidisciplinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic network operating 45+ clinics across regions including Montreal, Laval, Laurentides, Lanaudière, Montérégie, Estrie, Mauricie, and Centre-du-Québec. The company delivers 12 core service lines — physiotherapy, occupational therapy, osteopathy, massage therapy, acupuncture, kinesiology, psychology, psychoeducation, sports medicine, ergonomics, podiatry, and athletic therapy — supplemented by more than 20 specialized expertise areas such as vestibular rehabilitation, concussion treatment, pelvic floor rehabilitation, radial shockwave therapy, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), pediatric physiotherapy/occupational therapy, and ergonomic workplace design. It also operates specialized interdisciplinary programs, notably the Functional Capacity Development Program (FCDP) for second-line return-to-work rehabilitation and a Long COVID interdisciplinary program, alongside a telerehabilitation channel and an online client portal for personalized exercise prescriptions.

The company serves a hybrid customer base spanning four segments: (1) Quebec government payers CNESST (workplace accidents) and SAAQ (motor vehicle accidents); (2) private insurance carriers; (3) corporate employers seeking ergonomic assessments, workstation interventions, and return-to-work coordination; and (4) individual self-pay patients booking directly online or by phone. Revenue is generated predominantly through fee-for-service professional billing, with coordination/managed services delivered to insurers and employers via dedicated regional CNESST-SAAQ coordinators. The platform combines physical clinic delivery with digital infrastructure — 24/7 online booking at reservation.physioextra.ca, telerehabilitation, a member-area client portal, and a marketing stack built on HubSpot CRM, GA4, Microsoft Clarity, Google Tag Manager, and paid acquisition across Meta, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

PhysioExtra has executed a buy-and-build strategy, acquiring Centre de Thérapie Sportive in 2019 and Intergo (an ergonomics, rehabilitation, and training firm founded in 1998) in 2023, both retained as branded subsidiaries. Legal entity is Groupe PhysioExtra, privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no public listing, and no reported funding rounds. Leadership includes Vinh Tang (Clinical Director, Physiotherapist, Chair of the Software Innovation Committee, and Data Protection Officer), with Isabelle Gagné and Élaine Tremblay as founders of the Intergo subsidiary. The organization reports 251–500 employees and has treated over 10,000 workers in its return-to-work programs since 2003.
