What Clinique Synapse does

Clinique Synapse is a privately held physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic headquartered in Lebourgneuf, Quebec, with a secondary gym location in Sainte-Foy. The clinic specializes in neurorehabilitation and geriatric care, serving patients with Parkinson's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, ataxia, cervical dystonia, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, as well as older adults requiring fall prevention, post-hospitalization recovery, and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Service delivery spans in-person physiotherapy, occupational therapy, kinesiology, massage therapy, home care, and telerehabilitation via Zoom, complemented by adapted group exercise classes (boxing, cardio-tonus, TRX, rowing, Nordic walking, adapted running, and virtual sessions).

The clinic's technical differentiation rests on access to specialized functional electrical stimulation (FES) equipment — the RT300 motorized pedaler and the Xcite system (both supplied by Restorative Therapies) — which can simultaneously stimulate up to 12 muscle groups to enable cycling and directed functional movements in patients with paralyzed or weak muscles. Clinical protocols are built on evidence-based approaches and supported by academic research partnerships with Université Laval and CIRRIS, plus specialist certifications including LSVT Big for Parkinson's disease.

Clinique Synapse generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service clinical consultations, paid by private insurance and Quebec public programs (SAAQ, CNESST), supplemented by group exercise program fees and home care services. The clinic operates with a small, highly credentialed team of physiotherapists (including a PhD candidate and a double master's-level clinician), a kinesiologist, and a speech-language pathologist, and has no external funding, parent company, or disclosed financial information.
