It is on this date that the Riopel-Bolduc physiotherapy clinic became Physiothérapie des Mille-Iles, and to this day, it is our legal name! Back then and since 1981, your osteopaths have welcomed you on Route 117, first in Blainville (in the basement of the Blainville medical clinic), in Ste-Thérèse (on the second floor of Friand'oeuf across from Mode Choc), and then in Rosemère (on the second floor of what is now Jardin Thai restaurant). Did you know? There are still many of you whose files date back to this early period and are still active! Psst! If you want to learn a bit more about the organization, at your next appointment, check the first two digits of your file number. It's the year you visited us for the first time... or the second time after five years!

The mid-1990s brings a breeze of renewal to the world... It's not just that the internet is making its way into homes, but also, and especially, that in 1995, the clinic settles at 321 Grande-Côte in Rosemère; the address you know so well today. At that time, half of the building, 323, retains its residential purpose but is quickly requisitioned for the professional expansion needs of the neighborhood. Additionally, the floor only has two offices and a bathroom... and a small, poorly insulated attic that serves as a copy room!

Do you remember the time when it was your osteopaths who shared the reception and the counter was all the way at the back of the clinic, hidden behind the stairs? Those were the good old days! It was towards the end of that secondary period from 1995 to 2010 that significant renovations took place upstairs. They added a total of two offices, a kitchenette, a shower, and say goodbye to the spooky attic!

It is also at this moment that the original instigator, Viviane Riopel, finds herself as the sole shareholder, and the desire to pass the torch increasingly stimulates her. From 2010 to 2012, a change of leadership takes place at Physiothérapie des Mille-Iles. The new owners, young and passionate, want to change the world... So they start by involving you a little: Physiothérapie des Mille-Iles becomes Axé Ostéo in 2014. The faces and the service remain the same, ensuring stability for everyone.

As this first change goes rather smoothly, we have stepped up the adaptation by having you now turn 90 degrees in the archway to enter the waiting room! It was in 2016 that the ground floor of the clinic took a turn. Gone is the reception at the back, somewhat hidden and not very inviting; in come the light and the smiling faces of our receptionists!

It seems that since these tumultuous times, the clinic you have embraced and come to know is in a bit of a golden age... Its walls have seen a lot of people and stories that could keep you awake at night! Of course, who knows what the future holds for us? In fact, we may know, but we’ll keep it a surprise for you! You'll see!
