Orthopedic and sports physiotherapy is for anyone who experiences a problem with their neuromusculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, ligaments and nerves). It also addresses athletes of all levels that have experienced a trauma or have a stress injury.
Our integrated approach incorporates manual orthopedic therapy, muscular control as well as prescribed exercises. When needed, therapeutic modalities such as muscular simulation or ultrasound is used.
Our interventions are based on clinical reasoning and scientific evidence. To make this possible, our physiotherapists are constantly developing their expertise in order to perfect their techniques and to acquire new ones. They have as a duty to know and stay informed of the latest scientific evidence in their domains of practice in order to provide their patients with the best available treatments for their health problems.
We also offer running assessments as well as pre-season preventative assessments of cerebral concussions and the monitoring of cerebral concussions. When consulting for a new issue, the first session is dedicated to the evaluation of the condition. Depending on the complexity of the problem, treatment can start immediately. The treatment’s plan is discussed with the patient during the evaluation, which includes establishing subsequent treatment frequency and methods of approach.

Point of care ultrasound
Targeted ultrasound is an imaging technique that is increasingly used in physiotherapy and
primary care medicine to assess and treat various musculoskeletal pathologies. This method allows physiotherapists to visualize anatomical structures in real time, which improves the diagnosis and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in a non-invasive manner.
The practice of ultrasound in physiotherapy is recognized and supervised by the Ordre
professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ). It does not allow a medical diagnosis to be made, but is a complementary tool to the assessment carried out in physiotherapy.
The use of targeted ultrasound has no additional cost during your appointments and will be
used according to the relevance judged by your therapist.
Dry needling in physiotherapy
Dry needling, an increasingly popular therapeutic method in physiotherapy, is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, primarily chronic pain and muscle tension. This technique involves inserting fine, drug-free needles, similar to those used in acupuncture, into specific areas of the muscles or trigger points to relieve pain and improve function.
The benefits of this method include rapid pain reduction, improved muscle function, and
stimulation of the body's natural healing process. Dry needling is an effective, minimally invasive approach to treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions and is supervised by the Ordre Professionnel de la Physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
Teaching babywearing
Baby carriers and other accessories play a crucial role in the management of certain
pathologies in children.Ergonomic carrying not only strengthens the parent-child bond, but also promotes harmonious motor development in toddlers.
For children with conditions such as plagiocephaly, adapted carrying can provide valuable
therapeutic support.For parents, learning how to properly use these carrying tools can also
reduce the pain often associated with carrying their child for long periods of time.
Physiotherapists play a key role in educating parents on best practices and guiding them in
choosing the carriers best suited to their child's needs.
