As a partner of ''First Steps Wellness Centre (FSWC Regina¹)'', FSWC Québec is able to offer their reputable intensive functional recovery service called "Activity-based therapy".
By combining research, technology and proven therapeutic outcomes, FSWC programs offer a comprehensive approach to help improve mobility and quality of life for people with various neurological conditions.
What does this service consist of?
|
Intensive activity-based functional recovery program
This reputable program is specifically designed for paraplegic and quadriplegic (tetraplegic) people. This program is unique and it has shown its effectiveness for more than a decade. We can adjust the program also for people with other neurological conditions. |
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) bike Program
In addition to spinal cord injuries, people with other neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy and Parkinson's disease will benefit from this program.
|
The children's program
(planned for the fall of 2022) The overall concept of the intensive children's program is to eliminate pathological reflexes and establish new motor pathways that will be appropriate and functional. Children with neurological conditions such as, but not limited to, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and brain injury will benefit from this program. |
Robert's Testimony
After the tsunami of December 3, 2020, I came to the realization: total loss of both my legs' usage, the closing of my company, explosion of my relashionship and finally, living an unwanted life. This leap into the void created the feeling of being alone in the world and inevitably, panic set in. After a while, we are faced with two choices, either we let go and watch life unfold before our eyes or we take charge. Believing in your abilities is the first thing to do, in my opinion. Then, looking for tools to improve your quality of life is the second thing to do. Going to the FSWC QC recovery center was one of the first actions I took to change things. After an evaluation, the team at the center established a strategy to push my physical limits and in a very short time, the results were apparent. I increased my physical strength, boosted my energy, improved my balance and all this in a month and a half.
Thank you to the FSWC Quebec Rehabilitation Center and I will continue!

We are very pleased to present the TVA Nouvelles report (French) on our center published on April 24th.
Robert, one of our first clients recently moved from St-Hyacinthe to Sherbrooke to follow the functional recovery program and the functional electrical stimulation bike program full time.
We also have a video of his 27th therapy session when he was able to move his foot with his will for the first time in 2 years. He also gives his testimony from his 10th therapy session.
He also confided to one of our members that he succeeded in fastening his belt in a cab by himself, he succeeded in putting on his coat by himself although he could not do so when he started coming to our center in early March.
All nice little achievements that lead to more freedom.
