ABOUT Alexis

Alexis was a great resource throughout my pregnancy. For my first pregnancy, I did not use a physiotherapist and did not know how beneficial it could have been. When I came across Alexis' video "Why come to pelvic floor physio while pregnant", I was immediately intrigued. After seeing the video, I thought to myself, this is exactly what I was missing the first time around. I immediately scheduled a visit with Alexis where she made me feel completely at ease. She spent time explaining to me the underlying causes of certain pains/discomforts and the benefits to each exercise in preparation for birth. Throughout my pregnancy, I was always able to ask my questions and get detailed explanations with written reminders. Additionally, for me, the manual therapy we did was a life changer. 

I absolutely recommend Alexis as she is not only friendly but professional and very knowledgeable. I can't wait to see what is in store for us for postpartum recovery!

Alexis helped me recover from two injuries and provided a quick recovery thanks to her treatment plans. In my case, she was even able to determine another unseen hip injury that was causing the issue in my foot. She takes the time to understand what the issue is and she explains it in a clear way. I always looked forward to our sessions together as I knew she would adapt my exercises and treatment for a quicker recovery. I went to multiple physiotherapist in the past and I would recommend Alexis to anyone looking to recover and get back to doing the things you enjoy with no more pain.

Alexis is absolutely fantastic! I was referred to her about a year ago when I needed some support to heal a knee injury. She quickly helped me to alleviate the pain, and therefore it was a no brainer to continue seeing her when I got pregnant. With her support, I was able to not only manage the pain that can occur throughout pregnancy, but was also able to prepare for labor and delivery. I am now 10 weeks post-partum and working with Alexis to recover and regain my strength.

Needless to say, I highly recommend her to anyone who needs physiotherapy assistance; she's a pleasure to work with!

In my first treatment, Alexis quickly identified my areas of concern and sought out my goals for the treatment. She showed me simple measures to improve my upper spine flexibility and reduce my specific back pain, then introduced stretches and exercises to attend to my whole back chain. She also showed me how to establish a proper foot stance and adopt safe postures, both standing and sitting.

She is a very patient listener and understands, with empathy, my fitness hopes and limitations. She is very quick and intelligent, readily demonstrating appropriate strengthening exercises and ensuring that I do them safely and correctly. I finally feel that I can tackle my fitness goals without fear of injuring myself. Many thanks to Alexis!

My physiotherapy experience with Alexis Dugas has been marked by exceptional dedication and competence. My journey began two years ago with intense pain and loss of mobility. Over this period, Alexis Dugas managed my recovery with a well balanced approach including hands-on therapy, exercises and motivational encouragement.

I am now mobile and able to function fully with maintenance physiotherapy.

I have been seeing Alexis over the last few months. She is an excellent listener. Throughout discussions, Alexis has helped to develop an exercise program which focusses on low bone density. Throughout our sessions, we work on different areas of the body (wherever I have pain). Alexis is very knowledgeable. At the end of the sessions, Alexis provides me (via email) with different exercises and information with respect to the issue(s) discussed. She is a pleasure to work with.
