Karine Légaré
In a few words
Perseverance means keeping going, even when the path seems too long.
This quote has stayed with me throughout my career and helped me become the physiotherapist I am today. I've always been passionate about health, teaching and helping others. When I discovered physiotherapy, I knew it was the best way to bring these passions together and make a tangible impact on people's lives.
Moving freely and confidently is my mission. Every day, I help my patients regain their physical capacities, reduce their pain and achieve their goals. Whether it's getting back into sport, going on a trip or simply playing with your grandchildren, my aim is to enable you to enjoy
everyday life to the full.
You'll get on well with me if:
-You love animals, especially dogs.
-You like to share anecdotes or funny facts
-If you love good restaurants
I am particularly interested in
-Lumbar and thoracic region
-Musculoskeletal injuries of all kinds
As the saying goes, "shoemaker with a bad shoe", well, it was following a knee injury that I discovered the world of physiotherapy. After a DEC in physiotherapy and a BAC in kinesiology, I completed a BAC-Master's degree in physiotherapy at the Université de Montréal. It was a rather long course, but one that enabled me to acquire a wealth of knowledge and experience, and to meet some exceptional people.

What fascinates me about physiotherapy is the human contact: taking the time to understand each person, being able to accompany them on their journey and celebrating every little victory. For me, nothing is more gratifying than seeing someone progress and regain their abilities.
Ever since I was a little girl, moving around and playing different sports were part of my daily routine, from volleyball to kinball, basketball, badminton and so on. For over 20 years now, soccer has been my regular daily sport.
An injury to my knee during a soccer game, but that didn't stop me from getting back into the swing of things. A few minor neck and back pains, but probably explained by years of studying in front of a computer in uncomfortable classrooms.

2. I love sushi.
3. My 7-year-old royal poodle follows me around the house, especially if there's an apple or cheese nearby.

A personalized exercise program is key to achieving your strength and endurance goals. Our expertise in designing customized programs allows you to progress safely while respecting your abilities and lifestyle.
Weak stabilizing muscles can lead to pain during prolonged postures or everyday movements. Core exercises are often taught incorrectly, hindering your progress. Our specialized approach activates these essential deep muscles, creating a solid foundation for all your movements and daily activities.
Joint pain and stiffness can significantly limit your daily life. Our physiotherapists use specialized joint mobilization and manipulation techniques to restore the natural movement of your joints and reduce your pain.
Poor posture can be the source of many daily aches and discomforts. Our approach combines precise postural analysis and practical solutions to improve your natural alignment and prevent chronic muscle tension.
