Mélanie Gingras, Physiotherapist

About

Mélanie graduated from Laval University in 1999 with a degree in physiotherapy and has been working at the Axo Physio Courville clinic since 2001. She has developed expertise in orthopedic manual therapy and has taken several training courses to further her skills. In addition, she uses myofascial and neural techniques to optimize the effectiveness of treatments. In 2016, she completed training in “The Use of Needles Under the Skin in Physical Therapy” with the goal of providing greater relief and assistance to her clients. This technique, which involves the use of needles, allows for deep muscle work, effectively releasing muscle tension and reducing pain (neck or back pain, sprains, tendonitis, migraines, etc.). Mélanie will first assess your condition and then decide on the most appropriate treatment for you.

Mélanie has been dancing for several years and understands the injuries associated with this activity, enabling her to give appropriate advice. Listening to clients is a priority, so don't hesitate to come and see her.
