Rosy El-Khoury
In a few words
"Pushing my limits is what motivates me and encourages me to always offer the best of myself."
I always fully invest myself in what I undertake. Whether it's for studies, work, or friends, I make sure that what deserves to be done is done well.
This philosophy also applies to my work and my patients. Indeed, I completed an additional clinical master's degree to achieve the title of FCAMPT and advanced practice physiotherapist 5 years after my master's degree in physiotherapy.
You'll get along well with me if:
- You want to understand the source of your pain, how to heal it, and more. If we both invest in the treatment plan, everything will be sprinkled with laughter and exchanges while getting to know each other.
I have a particular interest in:
- Traumatic and sports-related pain (backed by a certificate in sports physiotherapy)
- Vestibular disorders
- Running pains...
In short, don't worry, I have several tools and tips to help you feel better. If not, I'll make sure to find new ones.
When I was 13, I heard my judoka friend, who was recovering from an ACL injury, talk about her physiotherapist as a pivotal person in her life. I was hooked and wanted to have such a big impact on the lives of others.
Always ready to help and give 110%, today I am in love with and passionate about my profession. I encourage all my young (and not so young) patients to consider my profession, which I believe is the best in the world.
Proof of that: our patients come back smiling to continue their treatment or with a new ache that's bothering them.
- Master's in Kinesiology (2015)
- Fellowship in Sports Physiotherapy (2022)
- Certified Sports Physiotherapist (2022)
- Clinical Master's in Advanced Practice (2023)
- Fellow in Manual Therapy (FCAMPT) (2023)
- Motivational Interviewing Training – The Monarch Life System (2023)
- Member of the Executive Committee of the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (2024 - present)
- Member of the Organizing Committee for the 2025 Symposium of the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (2024 - present)
Education and teaching given to patients and my future co-workers. As a physiotherapist, helping others goes without saying. However, I try as much as possible to share as many tools as possible with my patient to ensure autonomous empowerment.
I feel a sense of accomplishment when my patient understands what they have, knows how to relieve themselves, and actively participates in their treatment plan. I am convinced that it all comes down to education and understanding the source of the pain complaints.
Helping my future colleagues apply theoretical concepts to practical concepts allows me to flourish greatly. Indeed, I try to pass on my passion to everyone, as I have received it so well and continue to receive it in my practice.
I practice running (when the motivation is there) given the accessibility of the sport. I love enjoying the summer and playing beach volleyball with my friends, especially when the sun joins us.
I don't consider any of the injuries I've had to be that serious, or I'm just tough. With time (and all the years spent at university), I better understand the importance of moving and the positive effect of physical activity on the human body. I hope to be able to pass on my knowledge to you and help you integrate physical activity into your daily life, without pain of course.
- I once did a half-marathon in a wheelchair to raise funds for the AlterGO challenge, always ready to take on extraordinary challenges.
- I am a travel enthusiast, which allows me to discover other cultures and grow.
- I know various trivia (etymology of words, history, geography), together we will have fun during treatments.

Approaches mastered by Alexis
The McKenzie Approach is a globally recognized assessment and treatment method, particularly effective for back problems. This approach equips you with the tools to independently manage and prevent your pain.
The Mulligan approach, recognized worldwide, combines active movement and mobilization for immediate results. This unique technique restores joint function without pain, even in cases where other approaches have failed.
Knowledge is key to a successful recovery. Our educational approach allows you to better understand your pain problem and gives you the necessary tools to actively participate in your recovery and prevent recurrences.
A poorly set up workstation can cause tension and pain that affects your productivity. Our professional ergonomic assessment identifies the necessary adjustments to create a comfortable and efficient workspace.
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.
Complex musculoskeletal conditions require in-depth expertise for accurate diagnosis and treatment. The FCAMPT certification represents the highest level of training in manual therapy in Canada, guaranteeing specialized care based on the latest evidence.
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.
Always moving in the same way can create injuries because repetitive movements end up overloading the same structures in your body. Our approach precisely analyzes and corrects your movement patterns to restore biomechanics that will not create microtrauma.
Therapeutic taping is a versatile technique that uses different types of adhesive tapes to relieve pain and improve joint stability. Among our approaches, we notably use the McConnell method, recognized for its effectiveness in biomechanical correction and the treatment of joint pain.
