Job Description
Physiotherapist (full-time or part-time)
Become part of our vision to change the way health care is experienced in Canada.
A little about us…
Located in Sherwood Park, Alberta, we are the first fully integrative clinic in Northern Alberta. We
serve individuals and families across the Edmonton region, including Sherwood Park, St. Albert,
Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, Beaumont, Ardrossan, and, of course, the City of Edmonton. We have
two spaces within Aspen Plaza in Sherwood Park. Our main clinic, Park Integrative Health (PIH),
provides medical and allied health services and our secondary space, Synapse, houses our
chiropractic and physiotherapy treatments.
The concept for PIH grew from our shared belief that a journey to health requires an inclusive
approach. One that focuses on an individual’s mind, body, and spiritual well-being.
Our co-founders, Dr. Neeja Bakshi, Heather Gazley, Brandon R. Jacobs, and Mahesh Upadhyay, saw
a gap in service delivery for health and wellness treatments and a misbelief that Eastern and
Western medical traditions could not coexist. Our experiences with integrative medicine said
otherwise, and we knew PIH was going to be the one to disrupt this way of thinking; to change the
system.
Are you ready to join us?
YOUR ROLE AT SYNAPSE :
Reporting to the Director of Allied Health, the Physiotherapist plays a vital role in helping patients
restore movement, reduce pain, and improve overall function. As part of the collaborative
healthcare team at Park Integrative Health (PIH) and Synapse, you use evidence-based techniques
to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions, from sports injuries and post-surgical
rehabilitation to chronic pain and mobility challenges.
You bring a hands-on, patient-first approach to care, ensuring each treatment plan is tailored to
meet the unique needs of your patients. Whether guiding someone through recovery after an
injury, supporting individuals with chronic conditions, or enhancing athletic performance, you
are committed to empowering patients on their wellness journey.
Collaboration is key — you work closely with chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists,
and other allied health professionals to provide comprehensive treatment plans that promote
long-term healing and resilience. You’re a skilled communicator, helping patients understand

Park Integrative Health offers comprehensive health care and wellness treatments for patients in the Edmonton Area.
The concept for Park Integrative Health grew from our shared belief that a journey to health requires an inclusive approach. One that focuses on an individual’s mind, body, and spiritual wellbeing.
We saw a gap in service delivery for wellness treatments and a misbelief that eastern and western medical traditions cannot co-exist. We knew the system needed disruption.
In late 2017, our concept for an integrative clinic became a reality when we opened the doors of Park Integrative Health in Sherwood Park, Alberta. Since opening our clinic, we’ve worked tirelessly to promote our message of integrative care in the Edmonton Area and beyond.
Our vision is to see the health care system move from reactionary to proactive; from operating in silos to a collaborative movement; and from separating eastern and western medicines to integrating the two with empowered patients at the centre. We believe the future of health care is integrative.
Synapse represents the growth and expansion of PIH and the culmination of over seven years of hard work, vision, and listening to what our community told us they needed. Not quite a second location, though it is physically in a separate commercial bay, Synapse by Park Integrative Health is an add-on to our existing space, an expansion of our clinic that is located a few doors down within the same complex in Sherwood Park.
The new space represents the growth and expansion of PIH, something we’re incredibly excited about. More than that, it’s the culmination of over seven years of hard work, vision, and listening to what our community told us they needed. You see, we were slightly limited by the services we could offer under one roof, partly due to space restrictions and partly due to being the first fully integrative health clinic in the Edmonton Metro Area. We didn’t know what we didn’t know.
But what we saw (and heard) over the years from our wonderful patients was that we needed to add more. There were some missing puzzle pieces to this wholly integrative experience, and we no longer wanted to refer patients out-of-clinic for treatments we knew we could deliver in-house. It was just a matter of some strategic planning, time, a little elbow grease, and finding the right team members to deliver on the vision.
When our leadership team got together to discuss ideas for “PIH 1.5,” we all agreed that this was the missing piece of PIH coming to life. It was the space between — not quite a fully second clinic, but an extension of our existing clinic that would offer the additional integrative health treatments our community had asked for.
The name for the new space came easily after that:
SYNAPSE by Park Integrative Health.
In Western medicine, a synapse is the point of contact between neurons where information is passed from one neuron to the next. From an Eastern medical perspective, a synapse represents the unseen energy passing through. In either case, a synapse is the space between, and that’s exactly what “PIH 1.5” is going to be. It’s a natural part of your journey through integrative wellness and a natural addition to our blossoming clinic.
As the ideas flowed for Synapse and we began working with designers of all types, we knew that the new space needed to be a bit different from our current clinic — an evolution of our existing brand. Over the coming weeks and months, you’re going to notice some changes to the way PIH is visually presented. And we can’t wait. But for now, here is a preview of the direction we’re headed:
