EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

xx

After earning college degree in music, Anne develops an interest in human movement science that leads her to complete a graduate degree in Kinesiology—with special mention for best results—as well as a post-graduate degree in Therapeutic Exercises at the University of Sherbrooke.

Motivated by the desire of bringing together her two passions, she goes to Europe where she specializes in the treatment and re-education of fine motion. During her specialization training in France Anne assists Marie-Christine Mathieu—kinesiotherapist and author known for her work with musicians—in conducting motion and posture courses for musicians and takes part in the training of kinesiotherapists and music teachers. She also has the opportunity of working with Michel Dufour – kinesiotherapist, instructor and renowned author – within Applicanat, an organism that offers continuous training in dissection and morpho palpation.

PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH

Expertise and Multidisciplinarity

Anne is glad to be able to share with clients her unique expertise acquired in her training abroad. Known for her success in treating chronic pains, she has a preventive and re-educational approach to musculoskeletal issues, aiming to optimize the motion(s) causing the problem. Anne adopts a global approach. It is important to assess the body as a whole, because the problem often originates in a different location from where the symptoms are felt. Anne believes it is truly important for the client to understand where the problem is coming from to better overcome it. Being a teacher and a pedagogue, she helps her clients to become a key element in their healing process and to take an active part in their well-being. Aware that having more than a single tool is pertinent when tackling health issues, Anne collaborates on a regular basis with a variety of therapists, all very competent in their field of expertise and all making their clients’ well-being a priority.
