Rosy El-Khoury
in a nutshell
"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.

We offer a full range of healthcare services tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re seeking treatment for a specific condition or looking to maintain your overall well-being, we’re here to help.
In most cases, a blockage or stiffness doesn't originate solely from the area where you feel the limitation. It could be due to joint irritation, a protective muscle spasm, or a mechanical restriction that prevents normal movement.
Simply treating the pain or 'forcing' movement doesn't solve the problem. At Physioactif, our approach is to precisely identify the underlying structure and restore effective movement starting from the very first sessions.
Numbness or nerve pain doesn't always originate solely from the area where symptoms appear. The problem might be related to nerve irritation or compression in the spine, or elsewhere along its peripheral path.
The assessment helps precisely identify the symptom's origin and use tailored techniques, such as neurodynamic mobilization, to improve the nerve's tolerance to movement and reduce radiating pain.
It is common to have received several different explanations or not to have found a satisfactory answer to a persistent problem. A thorough evaluation allows for a structured review of the case and an analysis of elements often overlooked during initial consultations.
At Physioactif, the evaluation aims to establish precise clinical reasoning, validate or invalidate certain hypotheses, and propose a clear direction based on your actual situation.
Chronic pain is rarely linked to a single factor. It can involve mechanical and nervous components, and even an increased sensitivity of the system to pain. This is often why passive or overly general treatments yield few lasting results.
At Physioactif, the approach involves analyzing all the factors that maintain pain and gradually reintroducing adapted movements and loads to desensitize the system and improve function.
Rehabilitation doesn't start after surgery, but well before. Good preparation helps improve mobility, strength, and understanding of exercises, which greatly facilitates post-operative recovery.
After the procedure, the goal is to gradually restore movement, protect healing structures, and regain the abilities needed for your activities without compromising the surgical results.
Vestibular disorders occur when the system responsible for balance no longer correctly transmits information to the brain. This can cause dizziness, instability, or a sensation of movement.
The evaluation helps determine the origin of the problem and allows for the use of specific exercises to re-educate the vestibular system, improve stability, and gradually reduce symptoms.
Sports-related pain doesn't just come from a single injury; it often results from repeated stress that the body struggles to tolerate. Continuing to train without addressing the cause increases the risk of recurrence.
The assessment helps identify the underlying issues, whether related to mobility, strength, or control. Treatment then focuses on reducing pain, correcting deficiencies, and preparing for a gradual return to sports.
An inefficient running technique can overload certain structures and lead to pain. These issues are not always noticeable without analysis.
Biomechanical assessment allows us to observe your running pattern, identify limitations, and make precise adjustments. The goal is to optimize movement while reducing stress on the body.
Accident-related injuries can affect the neck, back, or nervous system, even if symptoms initially seem mild.
An assessment helps identify the affected structures and establish a tailored treatment plan recognized by the SAAQ to promote full recovery.
Work-related injuries can be mechanical, muscular, or caused by repetitive movements.
The assessment helps us understand the specific demands of your job and tailor treatment to ensure a safe and lasting return to work under the CNESST program.
The physical consequences of a criminal act can include muscle pain, stiffness, or more complex injuries.
The goal is to precisely assess your condition and implement a progressive treatment that respects your recovery pace and the requirements of the IVAC program.
Injuries in veterans are often complex and can affect multiple systems, such as joints, muscles, or the nervous system.
Our approach aims to precisely understand your condition and provide structured treatment that meets program requirements while supporting a gradual return to your activities.
Techniques mastered by Guillaume
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 globally recognized Mulligan approach combines active movement and mobilization to deliver immediate results. This unique technique restores joint function without pain, even in cases where other approaches have failed.
Knowledge is the key to a successful recovery. Our educational approach helps you better understand your pain and gives you the tools you need to actively participate in your recovery and prevent future episodes.
An ill-suited workstation can cause strain and pain that affect your productivity. Our professional ergonomic assessment identifies the adjustments needed to create a comfortable and efficient workspace.
A personalized exercise program is the key to achieving your strength and endurance goals. Our expertise in designing tailored programs allows you to progress safely while taking your abilities and lifestyle into account.
Weak stabilizing muscles can cause pain during prolonged periods of standing or sitting, or even during simple movements. Core exercises are often taught incorrectly, which can hinder 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. FCAMPT certification represents the highest level of training in manual therapy in Canada, ensuring specialized care based on the latest evidence.
Joint pain and stiffness can significantly limit your daily activities. Our physical therapists use specialized joint mobilization and manipulation techniques to restore your joints’ natural range of motion and reduce your pain.
Poor posture can be the cause of many everyday aches and pains. Our approach combines precise postural analysis with practical solutions to improve your natural alignment and prevent chronic muscle tension.
Always moving in the same way can lead to injuries because repetitive movements eventually overburden the same parts of your body. Our approach analyzes and precisely corrects your movement patterns to restore biomechanics that won’t cause microtrauma.
Therapeutic taping is a versatile technique that uses various types of adhesive tape to relieve pain and improve joint stability. Among our approaches, we use the McConnell method, which is recognized for its effectiveness in biomechanical correction and the treatment of joint pain.
