Olivier Portelance Hudon, pht, Cert. MDT
Graduated from Laval University in 2005, Olivier Portelance Hudon uses modern therapeutic approaches based on current scientific evidence in musculoskeletal and orthopedic medicine. He travels regularly to Canada and the United States to improve his skills. He is the co-owner of the DynaxPhysio l’Esplanade clinic in the Mascouche-Terrebonne sector.
The pursuit of postgraduate training has led Olivier to obtain certification in the McKenzie method and special expertise in vertebral problems (cervical, dorsal, lumbar).
Olivier is one of the physiotherapists who can practice the use of needles under the dermis (UASD) in Quebec.
In addition, Olivier is particularly interested in problems of spinal origin, headaches and migraines, pain in the hips, knees and shoulders, the prescription of therapeutic exercises as well as teaching.
