Marie-Céline St-Jacques, PT

Marie-Céline is a bilingual (French and English) neuro-physiotherapist with great passion for, and extensive training in, complex neuro-sensory-motor conditions (20+ years).  These conditions include, but are not limited to, complex concussions or post-concussion syndrome, post-craniotomy, migraines/headaches, autonomic dysfunctions, trauma, etc. 

Earlier in her career Marie-Céline had the opportunity to immerse herself in most neurological conditions in both in and outpatient settings, but she developed a passion for solving the intricacies of issues of those whose nervous system is out of sync with the sensory and motor systems.  She has attended more than 50 post-graduate physiotherapy or health care related courses, has been a mentor to students and staff for 15+ years and was the Clinical Lead for Lifemark Neurologic Physiotherapy and NeuroLogic Physiotherapy - The Center for Myofascial Release for 6 years, before deciding to return to her primary passion of patient care. She continues to develop new skills and stay current by attending courses and mentoring.  Knowing that there are limits to her knowledge and skills, as all professionals do, she works closely with all relevant health care providers to provide an integrative and collaborative treatment approach to each individual person. 

Marie-Céline uses a combination of education, exercise, postural rehabilitation, cranial-sacral therapy, myofascial release, symptom management strategies, vestibular and/or oculomotor rehabilitation and more to help individuals on their journey towards greater health and function.   

Marie-Céline strongly believes in giving the client and families a lead role in their rehabilitation process, and therefore, uses education at the forefront of all her clinical treatment.  With this knowledge of the “what, why and how,” for each person's combination of complex issues, clients are then able to take control of their own rehabilitation process with Marie-Céline presence as a coach and advocate.
