Jacynthe graduated in 2002 from Laval university with a bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy. Her training at a post-graduate level include the highest certification in manual therapy, the Fellowship of Canadian Academy of Manual therapy (FCAMT), traditional acupuncture, Intramuscular stimulation, core stability, custom foot orthotics, diagnostic imaging, taping and functional and sport exercise training.
Jacynthe’s philosophy of treatment is that every injury happens for a reason, she searches for the underlying cause to achieve optimal healing and prevent re-injury. She then uses a variety of treatment techniques and exercises to regain maximum function and healing. She believes in hands-on treatment and uses mobilizations, manipulations, dry needling and soft tissue techniques to help achieving the patient’s goals.
She is an outdoor enthusiast, rock climber, mountain biker and backcountry skier, passions that she shares with her life partner Vince Osborne. She also loves spending time with her two young kids, Zach and Zoé.
