Boutique physiotherapy for dancers & artistic athletes in Ottawa.
Olympic-level healthcare designed to keep you dancing through life!
Empowering dancers of all levels by building strong, resilient bodies to keep you moving freely and living happily.
I’m a physiotherapist, an entrepreneur, a dancer, and a dreamer.
I know how it feels to have to sit in the wings.
Physical and mental wellness are affected when pain or injury limit your ability to perform and compete. When I had to sit out after a knee injury, I was afraid I would never dance again. The thought of never being able to do the thing I love was crushing. Physiotherapy helped me get back on my feet and led me to my dream career!
If you’re dreaming of moving more freely and dancing through life on your own terms, you’re in the right spot!
Let’s work together to prevent injuries, recover from pain and learn how to integrate strengthening into your life so that you can keep doing the things you love!

![Testimonial for best dance physio in Ottawa]()
"Geneviève has been a true gift to a former professional ballet dancer. She brings such joy and passion to her work and is affirming and never demeaning of my goal to keep on dancing at 75. Each session is based on her deep knowledge of dance-based exercises and her commitment to addressing my individual strengths and weaknesses. Showing her willingness to adapt drills until they work best, always with clear explanations and lovely encouragement!"

"Supplementing my daughter's regular training with Strong Dancer classes is one of the best competitive dance investments I have made. It's not easy to find a program with a focus on improving dance skills in a way that's healthy and sustainable long term so I am extremely grateful that we added it to her injury prevention tool kit."

"As a dancer, teacher and PT, I found every Strong Dancer class was helping me to develop my skills as well as those from my students. I love the fact that we can learn from wonderful professionals thanks to technology, because otherwise it would have been impossible for me to take Gen’s classes.

"It is difficult to summarise in mere words how fantastic of a physiotherapist Gen is. Without your knowledge, professionalism and fun natured personality I do not know what my physical and mental health would look like. Your insight into military health issues makes you heads above any physiotherapist I have ever seen."
