Marie-Josée uses Real-Time Ultrasound to assess and treat women and men with low back, pelvic floor, groin, hip and pelvic/tailbone issues. The pelvic floor can be visualized through the abdominal wall (with a full bladder) which is a less invasive way to assess pelvic floor muscles when compared with internal pelvic examination. However, when such an examination is warranted, Marie-Josée is fully qualified to perform internal assessments. She also has experience in the management and treatment of both female and male bladder and bowel control, vaginal/genital/rectal pain, as well as perinatal low back, pubic or groin pain. She provides treatment for conditions such as painful intercourse, vulvodynia, and pelvic organ prolapse. Her treatment approach combines manual therapy and myofascial release techniques along with training of the deep stabilizers of the low back, abdomen and pelvic floor muscles for optimal exercise performance.
Marie-Josée also offers maternal health services throughout the whole continuum, including pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy and post-partum. She assesses using Real Time Ultrasound (RTUS) of the core muscles. She treats both pelvic health conditions as well as orthopedic and repetitive strain injuries common during pregnancy and the post-partum period. She focuses on relieving low back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction and groin/hip pain.
She takes into consideration posture and positioning to reduce muscle tension, optimizing mom’s posture during caring for baby.
She graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor of Physical Therapy from the University of Ottawa.
