I am an active, dynamic woman whose activities include aerobic dancing and downhill skiing. I want to stay in shape, despite muscular and articular stiffness. As a nurse, I once hurt myself while moving patients. I still experience discomfort from time to time. Thanks to Luc Gagnon’s preventive care, I manage to stay in good shape and avoid injuries. His treatments and the exercises he prescribes improve my postural structure through tissue relaxation. Anyone who needs help to stay in shape and feel good should see Luc Gagnon.
A testimonial dealing with osteopathic treatments is as much an exercise in the appreciation of the care received as it is of capacity of the osteopath to establish a relationship and explain a practice that is so little known in Québec.
Ten years ago, I underwent arterial bypass surgery on one of my legs. At the time, my surgeon advised me that there was a 60% possibility that he would have to amputate during the ensuing year and that the possibility would increase over the following year. He advised me to accept the situation and set a date. I quite obviously began to look for an alternative when a family member recommended I consult Luc Gagnon. I knew nothing about osteopathy. However, I quickly understood that Luc would take charge of the situation and propose options other than amputation. Luc displayed a great capacity to provide the required care, while fostering an environment of serenity and confidence. Throughout the process, I was kept aware of what was going on, as Luc always took the time to answer my numerous questions. Today, I can walk on both my legs and dance. I no longer need an orthesis and my cane now serves as window dressing when I travel. Since then, I have never hesitated in recommending Luc Gagnon to grateful family and friends.
“Following a sports accident, I had to undergo knee surgery to replace an anterior cruciate ligament. Luc’s support prior to the operation prevented me from aggravating the injury and damaging tissues and muscles, while reducing swelling and pain. His strategic advice and personalized exercise program optimized my preparation for surgery. His post-operative care allowed me to regain both flexibility and movement range. The accuracy of his manipulations and explanations, the quality, softness and accurate targeting of each of his procedures gave me total confidence in him. Heartfelt thanks, Luc. Your treatments greatly contributed to my quick and successful recovery.”
