As a dedicated Holistic Healthcare practitioner and ex-Elite athlete, I draw my experience from having lived the life of a high performance athlete, which was followed by an education at private prestigious holistic health institutes. I have successfully worked with clients requiring sports and orthopedic rehabilitation where traditional medicine failed. My in-depth understanding of human biomechanics, functional biochemistry, physiology, rehabilitative and high performance training gives me a unique approach to treatment, rehabilitation and high performance training; positively affecting athletes / people that have dealt with my system.

 

Through the fusion of different necessary therapies, Integrative Complementary medicine offers treatments and preventative therapies in Functional Biomechanics, Homotoxicology, Natural medicine and Rehabilitation and Corrective high-performance exercise kinesiology. Based on the traditions of eastern philosophy while fused with modern science, renders this holistic healthcare system indispensable for world class athletes, the general public and weekend warriors.

What Our Clients Say

“As a professional Stuntwoman, my life is full of action, excitement, constant physical strain, bumps, bruises, and injuries.  It takes a team of people to keep my body in one piece as I am constantly putting myself back together before, during and after a job.

 

I met Francesco in 2013 while filming X-Men: Days of Future Past.  I had no idea the gem I had stumbled upon.  With the combination of his treatment, personalized strength-training program and his nutritional guidance helped me stay healthy and strong through a long and taxing 6-month shoot.  Since then, he has helped me through three major action films, and two knee surgeries.

 

Francesco is the most knowledgeable, talented and hard working therapists I have ever worked with.  I have spent years working with doctors, specialists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, and trainers but no one single professional, embodies the vast wealth of knowledge and experience that Francesco does — He is always my first call.

 

Thanks to his help with my rehabilitation, I was able to come back stronger than I was before my surgeries and my body feels better than it has in years.  My career is far from over and I will always come to Francesco for advice and treatment."

“I am a profesionnal stuntman for film and television, I’ve been working on big feature films like X-men, Revenant and Deadpool.  My main job is doubling for Ryan Reynold as a stunt performer.  It requires a lot of physical training, and I must always be ready for action.  In this industry there is a big risk for injuries…  I had a bad accident on the Deadpool movie set where I completely tore my ACL in my knee.  I needed reconstructive surgery and was pretty sure my career was in jeopardy: I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to come back to the same level of performance.  But I was fortunate enough to know Francesco.  After my surgery, I flew to Montreal so I could get started on my rehab and body work with him.  Thanks to Francesco, within less than 5 months I was literally able to perform somersaults in the gymnasium!!  It was kind of shocking for me to see this type of improvement after complete ACL reconstructive surgery within such a little amount of time!

 

I am back in full force working on movie sets without ANY physical restrictions, pain or problems.  Francesco will always be my first choice and I will definitly suggest him to any of my co-workers, to athletes or just anyone struggling with health issues.  He is a well rounded specialist who really takes great care of his clients.  My only issue is that I live in British Columbia and Francesco’s office is in Montreal: it’s hard to find someone that is as well versed in physical therapy, physical training and natural medicine that can help me maintain a very strong, health and able body.”

“Being a full time mom does not allow time to be in pain or worn down, but sadly that is the reality of what a lot of us deal with on a daily basis. If it’s not healing from the beautiful disaster that is labor,  we are met daily with new challenges to our bodies that our completely foreign from our lives before children. I was a career girl singing and dancing on Broadway before bringing my two amazing kids into the world. And my body took quite a few hits… literally… from my work on stage. Between injuries and tough labors my body had begun to shut down. I was recommended to Francesco from a friend within my husbands work in film stunts, and I went in trepidatiously.

 

He changed my whole world. His energy and passion for his patients is beyond anything I’ve seen in my long pursuit for healing.

 

I went in with pain in my knee and not being able to walk up the stairs. I left with a full body makeover that included balancing my internal makeup and strengthening the outside so that they could support each other. He knew right away that the knee was just a symptom of something bigger. His knowledge and talent to see how the body needs to function in unity is a blessing in a world that just wants to give you a pill as a bandaid. I will forever be grateful for his time and will continue to look for him when we travel back to Montreal with our work and family. Thank you Francesco!!"

“Good morning Francesco,

Just had my annual with my doctor. Good stuff! Doctor says whatever I'm doing to keep it up, bp 120/70 and in great shape--big step up from a year ago! When I think about where I was after my past two disc surgeries, when I could barely walk, and compare to where I am today, the transformation is quite amazing. Dropped some weight as well (the natural medicine really works)! Down to 220lbs from 228 last year... body composition much better!

 

I sincerely appreciate your approach to my rehabilitation both neuromuscular manual therapy and the corrective exercise training. So once again, big thank you to you for helping me sort out my back and some life and health issues. Am very keen to keep investing in my health so hoping that I stay on this trajectory of improvement with you, maybe even reverse some age related issues.

 

So a sincere thanks for all you have done for me. Want to keep pushing the dial back, but know it takes time and consistency. But I am a dedicated client to my success and yours. Will talk more about the latter later.

See you Friday at 8.”

“Francesco is simply the best! Besides having extraordinary talents, Francesco is by far the most honest manual therapist I have ever worked with. I am grateful Francesco was part of my team when at 42 years of age, I decided to make a return to the ring and fight a professional boxing match, to prove that it could be done without using performance enhancing drugs. Often I refer friends and business acquaintance to him and all of them had improvements in their conditions. He will only see you again if he can help you!"
