Accès Physio

What Accès Physio does

Accès Physio, operating under the legal name Réseau Accès Physio, is a privately held network of eight outpatient rehabilitation clinics founded in 1997 by Stéphane Fournier and headquartered in Brossard, Quebec. The network provides a multidisciplinary service portfolio centered on physiotherapy and complemented by ergotherapy, acupuncture, massotherapy, osteopathy, and a specialized Bikefit cycling positioning evaluation. Treatment modalities draw on established clinical frameworks including the McKenzie approach, neuromuscular control and dynamic stability rehabilitation, the R.I.C.E. protocol, and proprietary test-retest outcome methodologies, with each clinic staffed by FCAMPT-certified physiotherapists who deliver a structured mentorship program to incoming therapists.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer fee-for-service model. Patients book appointments online through the ClinicMaster system, by phone, or in person without requiring physician referral, consistent with Quebec's direct-access framework. Services are reimbursed through a diversified payer mix including private insurance, SAAQ for motor-vehicle accident victims, CNESST for workplace injuries, and Canadian military health plans. Clinical operations are standardized across the network through three core technology partners: Medexa for Quebec-hosted patient records, scheduling, and billing; Physiotec for Canada-hosted exercise programming; and ClinicMaster for online appointment booking with clinic-specific URLs.

The network spans the Rive-Sud, Rive-Nord, and Laval areas of Greater Montreal, with clinics in Brossard (headquarters), Chambly, Delson, La Prairie, Laval, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Saint-Luc, and Sainte-Julie. Growth has been executed through a combination of greenfield openings, such as Delson in 2025, and tuck-in acquisitions, including the 2022 acquisition of the François Jovin clinic in Saint-Luc. The company is owned and operated by a partner group of associates including Raphaël Diotte, Dominic Labelle, Duy Le, Olivier Mah, and Sébastien Auclair, with Marie-Lyne Patrie serving as Directrice générale overseeing network-wide administration. No external institutional capital, public listing, or disclosed revenue figures are present in the available data.
