Treatment Philosophy

Everyday I feel blessed to be able to help people like you who struggle with pain. Pain is actually a fascinating phenomenon (when you're not the one who has to live with it)! It's important to realize that not all pains are created equal. Close to 70% of people with pain in their joints/muscles/bones ("orthopedic" pain) can improve very quickly if we take the time to analyze it and treat it with the right movements. Even if it has been there for a long time, or if the pain is very intense!

I learned how to help people like you with the McKenzie approach of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) after graduating from physiotherapy school at McGill University. I obtained my MDT certification from the McKenzie Institute International in 2019 and am currently in the process of obtaining the MDT diploma. There are currently only six MDT diploma holders in Quebec. Read less

Story Highlight

I initially thought I wanted to be a scientist, but after doing my Master's in biomedical sciences at l'Université de Montréal, I realized my personality required that I be in front of people, not in front of test tubes. I learned about myself, which brought me to the physiotherapy profession, but I also learned how to use research to guide my practice.

Outside of work, I'm a fairly laid-back person. I recently moved to Saint-Constant where I live with my wife and our puppy Peyo. I (try to) work out four times a week, read, watch Netflix, listen to podcasts and carry on with my lifelong journey of personal growth. Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to working with you!

Education

McGill University

Master of Science (Applied) in Physical Therapy

Master's degree in Physiotherapy from one of the best universities in the world.

Université de Montréal

Master's of Science

Wrote my thesis on the impact of oxidative stress on the health of endothelial cells.

McGill University

Bachelor's of Science

McKenzie Institute International

MDT Certification

Post-graduate training on using Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) in spinal and peripheral joint pains, a patient-centered approach aimed at analyzing biomechanics to improve pain and function.

Expertise

Back pain and sciatica

I continue to build my expertise in the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), which is increasingly considered the best way to assess and treat back pain and sciatica. Some patients describe immediate results and are able to treat themselves using this approach. It can be the key to a pain-free life!

Neck and upper back pain

Neck pain can be a pain in the neck! Get it? More seriously, if you suffer from stiffness and pain in the neck, there's a high probability we only need to find one movement that after repeating a few times gets your mobility better and your pain down. We must also explore whether you avoid positions and activities that make your pain worse (sometimes this can be looking down at your phone or slouching).

Tendon pain

When in doubt, doctors will tell you you have a tendinitis. Fortunately, they're often wrong. Don't get me wrong, we know how to treat most tendinitis but it takes a few months to improve. But more often than not, the issue actually comes from a joint rather than a tendon and these joint-related pains can improve in a few days of proper treatment.

Spoken Languages

French

My mother tongue!

English

Perfectly fluent, thanks to many years of University education in English

Spanish

I speak it better than I write it but I can definitely conduct a physiotherapy session in Spanish.

Interests

Meditation

I have been using the Waking Up app and highly recommend it. Taught me how to observe the distance between "me" and my thoughts, emotions, what I see/hear/touch. It's like when you're at the movies and realize there's a difference between the movie itself and the room where you're watching it. Fascinating!

Working out

Four times a week

Podcasts

Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, Brett Weinstein. I like to hear from smart people with whom I disagree. How else would I learn?
