Meet Gabriel
Gabriel’s journey in healthcare began as a Physiotherapist in France, igniting a passion for holistic healing. Since relocating to Canada in 2018, he has dedicated himself to active rehabilitation, with a particular emphasis on his specialization in male pelvic floor therapy.
With a master’s degree in rehabilitation and reeducation from the esteemed University of Brussels (ULB) in Belgium, Gabriel has honed his skills across diverse healthcare settings, cultivating a comprehensive approach to physiotherapy. Bilingual in English and French, he seamlessly bridges linguistic gaps to provide top-tier care.
Gabriel’s professional ethos is marked by dynamism, altruism, and meticulous organization, reflecting his unwavering commitment to the field of healthcare. His values resonate through his practice:
Client-Centric Innovation: Gabriel forges deep connections with his clients, crafting innovative treatment modalities tailored to their unique needs.
Root Cause Resolution: With a keen investigative eye, Gabriel delves deep to unearth the underlying causes of injury, disrupting the cycle of pain for sustained recovery.
Commitment to Lifelong Learning: Gabriel transcends conventional boundaries, continually augmenting his clinical acumen and embracing the ethos of perpetual learning.

Gabriel’s expertise encompasses a range of techniques and treatments, with a notable specialization in male pelvic floor rehabilitation. His nuanced understanding of this often overlooked aspect of physiotherapy ensures tailored interventions for his male clientele, addressing a spectrum of pelvic floor dysfunctions with empathy and efficacy.
In recent years, Gabriel has also specialized in supporting clients with acquired brain injuries (ABI), including conditions such as whiplash, concussions, and developmental delays, often intertwined with mental health challenges. Furthermore, he spearheads training initiatives, equipping teams to navigate the complexities of rehabilitation with compassion and proficiency.
Beyond his professional endeavours, Gabriel finds solace in nature’s embrace. An avid outdoor enthusiast, he delights in hiking, camping, snowboarding, and fishing, seamlessly harmonizing his passion for adventure with his dedication to holistic well-being.
