ABOUT PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession directed at evaluating, restoring and maintaining physical function and fitness.
Physiotherapy is an autonomous profession. We do not require a referral from a doctor to assess and treat you. Although you are not required to see a Doctor, Physiotherapists do work closely with physicians, sport medicine doctors as well as surgeons. We will communicate with your physician to ensure you receive the best treatment and investigations required to properly treat your injury/condition.
Physiotherapists are educated at the university level and base their practice on scientific evidence-based protocols.

HEATHER JANZ - Office Manager
Heather started at our sister clinic in Lorette where she worked her way up to office manager. She's now assumed that position at both Lorette and Sainte Anne. We're lucky to have her as a 'replacement' for Murielle. Heather was born and raised in England and completed a course in secretarial management while living there. She came to Canada in 1994 and finally settled into her home in Landmark. She's meticulous and likes to get things just right which makes her perfect for the job. When not at work Heather loves home staging, interior design, refinishing furniture, spending time with her large extended family and reading.

MURIELLE JOHNSON - RETIRED Office Manager
We tried our best to convince her not to but she decided to retire anyways. Murielle was the Manager of this clinic since it first opened in 1994. She was the longest serving and most important member of our team. Although many people think she owned the clinic she did not but always managed it like she did. We're not sure there's a more recognizable face in the town of Sainte Anne and people will miss her at the clinic. She will miss all the wonderful interactions as well. Murielle is a long time resident as she was born, raised and continues to reside in Sainte Anne. The most rewarding aspect of her life is her family. Most of Murielle and her husband Charlies spare time is consumed by their four beautiful grandchildren along with her two sons and daughters in law. Otherwise, the lake, home, gardening and sewing keep her very active in her now extra time.
Luckily we've convinced Murielle, who likes gardening to take care of our flowers, so you may still occasionally see her around.
