Abilities Neurological Rehabilitation

What Abilities Neurological Rehabilitation does

Abilities Neurological Rehabilitation is a private, founder-led healthcare services provider specializing in evidence-based neurological rehabilitation for children and adults. Founded in 2007 by physiotherapist Heather Branscombe in Abbotsford, British Columbia, the company has expanded to five physical clinic locations across BC (Abbotsford, Surrey, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Langley) and added a virtual clinic for telehealth delivery in 2025. Core service offerings span three disciplines — physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology — supplemented by specialized programs including Concussion Management, Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), Intensive Therapy blocks, Vestibular Rehabilitation, and structured protocols such as Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) and Cogmed Working Memory Training.

The operating model is a team-based multidisciplinary care approach in which licensed clinicians are supported by rehabilitation assistants, with a neurodiversity-affirming treatment philosophy applied across both pediatric and adult neurological conditions. Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis at standardized rates — $255 for a 50-minute initial assessment, $170 per 50-minute follow-up therapist session, and $100 per 50-minute supervised rehabilitation assistant session. Distribution is direct-to-consumer within British Columbia via the five physical clinics, a virtual clinic, and content channels including the company website, social media, and the "Clinicians Creating Impact" podcast. The company accepts but does not require referrals, offers free consultations as a conversion mechanism, and provides direct billing to select insurance providers and government funders (including AHP and AFU) to reduce payment friction. No external funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership has been disclosed.
