Biography

Who is Gabrielle ?

I have always been passionate about sports, having played soccer during my studies, as well as figure skating between the ages of 4 and 17. My time as a competitive soccer player allowed me to become experienced with the benefits of physiotherapy after multiple injuries which then sparked her passion in this profession. I continue to play soccer recreationally, and I also enjoy travelling to new countries, reading, skating and the occasional hike.

Training and professional skills

I graduated with distinction from McGill University in 2019 with a Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Science, and a Master’s in Physiotherapy in 2020. During her studies, I had the chance to be a therapist for the McGill men and women’s basketball teams for two years, as well as the McGill women’s rugby team for one year. During this opportunity, I was able to develop my taping skills and my skills in sports physiotherapy. To continue, my love of sports and student athletes has allowed me to be accredited by the CDESL, since June 2021. This allows her to treat and follow young Sports Études students in the area. I also have a love for teaching physiotherapy and have become a supervisor for McGill university stages and return yearly to give a course to up and coming physiotherapists.
