Neuro Rehabilitation

NeuroGym® researches and applies evidence-based physical and occupational therapy to enhance recovery from neurological conditions.

Clinique Neurogym

NeuroGym® Rehabilitation provides unique, evidence-based physical and occupational therapy for motor impairments due to neurologic injuries or conditions. We also see individuals with complex post-surgical orthopaedic issues.

NeuroGym® is a one-of-a-kind rehabilitation centre with techniques and patented tools that have been developed over more than 20 years of research and clinical work in the field of neurologic rehabilitation.

Our aim is to optimize the retraining process by creating a ‘neurological gymnasium’ – in essence a ‘gym’ program for the recovering brain and nervous system.

Our Goals

Equipment

We use movement enabling equipment and methodology to establish a neurological gym.

Non Invasive Neuromodulation (NINM)

In collaboration with Clinique Neuro-Outaouais, Clinique NeuroGym offers a unique protocol of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with intensive physical rehabilitation tailored for each patient. Clinique NeuroGym® combines all the essential elements to access brain neuroplasticity therefore allowing for greater motor recovery.

Neurogym and Clinical Research

Until recently, there were few, if any, evidence based neurological treatments beyond that of the pharmacological variety. This is changing. Thanks to our NeuroGym, we now offer neuro-physiotherapy and custom designed training equipment to complement pharmacological approaches. The notion that specific physical exercises can help slow disease progression and speed up recovery, though often intuitively applied in other fields, is nonetheless novel to neurology. This gives us the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge evidence based research concerning the efficacy of combined treatment options. Best of all, it also gives patients the opportunity to take charge of their recovery.

In accordance with our mandate to provide the most comprehensive neurological care possible, we were the first to introduce Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (“Mag-Stim“) to the Gatineau region. Mag-Stim’s efficacy in treating neurological issues is now well documented, and its use is no longer uncommon in the Ottawa-Gatineau region’s psychiatric centers.

That being said, we continue to be at the forefront of this treatment’s evolution; consistently developing new and better protocols thanks to our Neuro-Navigation, which allows us to actively and accurately plot the areas of the brain we stimulate with greater precision. Like every other neurological tool at Clinique Neuro-Outaouais, this allows us to not only research better treatments but also to provide a new level of customized care.

The Future

In the short term, it is our ability to combine treatments that provide the most avenue for increased efficacy; a complement to ongoing clinical research which promises gradual long term improvement. At Clinique Neuro-Outaouais, we’re excited to have had evidence based success in improving patient care. We invite you to read our blog, and to contact us in order to learn more about our ongoing research trials and the range of our services.
