Our Story

The Beginning

In the winter of 2016, Physiotherapist John Gonzales set out to create a “bold” new injury rehab brand that represented excellence in our region. The vision was simple yet powerful – bring together a team of highly motivated professionals who excel in their respective rehabilitation fields, who care about human connection, who exude effort and passion daily, and who care deeply for their community.

Over the years, we believe this vision has become a reality. We have assembled an all-star team of health and admin professionals who have collectively helped over 35,000 New Brunswickers with their injuries. We have created a superior workplace culture that allows our Team to operate and provide our clients with an amazing rehabilitation experience. We pride ourselves on our focused one-on-one care, our extensive network in the medical rehabilitation industry, and our ever-expanding evidence-based methodology.

It became increasingly clear that the “Rehab1 Experience” and “Exceptional Care” framework was appreciated by our clientele, and so we made the decision to expand our ability to help more people with the addition of more locations throughout the province.

With our 6 locations across New Brunswick in each of the major cities – Moncton, Riverview, Saint John, Quispamsis, Fredericton, and Dieppe – we are demonstrating to the region why taking care of your body is essential to your wellness. Thank you for your support over the years and we look forward to being there for you should you need our help and guidance.
