Founder, The Physio Space, Registered Physiotherapist Pelvic Health

As a physiotherapist, Chantale began practicing at The Ottawa Hospital as part of the inpatient rehabilitation team in 2001.

Her goals of care are to provide a safe and compassionate environment where patients feel empowered to take action and be fully involved in their journey towards health. She believes that everyone should be able to recover from pelvic health dysfunction and return to optimal function and activity.
