Olivier started in the world of rehabilitation by getting a degree in physiotherapy technology in 2008. To further his education in his chosen field, he continued his training at the University of Montreal where he obtained his master's degree of physiotherapy in 2013.

In May 2021, it was with great pride that he and his associates took over the Physio Plateau clinic, formerly the Clinique de physiothérapie du Plateau Mont-Royal.
When he was younger, Olivier was a gymnast. Following a few injuries, he was brought to physiotherapy treatments where his interest in this field developed.
Olivier is passionate about movement and its analysis. Thanks to his experience as a gymnastics trainer, he developed an expert eye which is greatly useful as a physiotherapist in order to find the most adequate solution to each problem.
For the past few years, Olivier has also been passionate about climbing, a sport close to gymnastics regarding the complexity of movement. He is therefore able to advise you on the best way to return to climbing after an injury.
Olivier will be happy to help and guide you, regardless of the root of your troubles!

His passion for physiotherapy came from a sport injury while playing handball. During his rehabilitation, he discovered this profession which, according to him, allows to "treat while being sensitive to what the person is going through and to take charge of the patient as a whole. "
Guillaume is a team player, an educator and an empathetic therapist. He does not work for his patients, but with his patients. He will be happy to help you, advise you and support you whatever your needs may be!
