Francine is a physiotherapist who graduated from the University of Montreal in 1989. She has a special interest in orthopedics and postural rehabilitation. Having followed several post-graduate courses in specialized areas including sports taping, conventional taping, strengthening of joint and vertebral instability, etc. has given her the ability to continue perfecting her skills.
