Originally from France, Elise completed her Master's degree at the Collège Ostéopathique de Provence in Marseille in 2011. She has since pursued extensive continuing education in paediatrics, perinatal and obstetric treatments, soft tissue techniques, sinokinesiology and the Mechanical Link, a gentle and precise approach developed by Paul Chauffour, which she has studied with its leading practitioners including Eric Prat, Jacques Michaud and Hélène Loiseau. More recently she completed training in scoliosis management, and attended the LMO International Symposium in Rome in 2025.

Brief Background

Alessandro has nearly five years of experience helping people move better and live with less pain. He has worked in clinics in Italy and Canada, from busy general practices to a dedicated sports rehabilitation clinic. His patients have ranged from office workers with back and neck pain to competitive athletes returning from injury. 

Areas of Interest

He helps with a wide range of problems, including back and neck pain, headaches, joint and muscle injuries, long-standing pain, recovery before and after surgery, and care during and after pregnancy.

His approach goes beyond the treatment table. Each first visit starts with listening to your story and looking at how you move, so he can understand what is really behind your symptoms. Treatment combines hands-on techniques with dry needling, taping or cupping where they are useful. Alessandro also explains clearly what is going on and gives you a simple exercise plan, so you can keep improving between visits. His aim is more than short-term relief. He wants to get you back to the activities you enjoy and help you stay there.
