OPPQ physiotherapy just minutes from Notre-Dame-de-Grâce
Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG) is one of Montreal's most diverse and dynamic neighbourhoods, and our clinic is just 6 to 12 minutes by car from most of its streets. Our physiotherapist Colin Teghen Tamuton, OPPQ member, regularly welcomes patients from Monkland Village, NDG Park, Somerled Avenue and Sherbrooke West. We treat student and professional low-back pain, sports injuries in NDG Park runners, post-surgical rehabilitation (ACL, replacements) and disabled parking permit evaluations. Evaluation in 48–72h, no prescription required.
Physiotherapy is a regulated health profession overseen by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ). The physiotherapist assesses, diagnoses and treats musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiorespiratory conditions through manual techniques, therapeutic exercise, electrotherapy and patient education. International clinical guidelines recommend it as first-line care for most musculoskeletal pain — ahead of medication or surgery.
In NDG, physiotherapy covers a very wide spectrum: Concordia or Marianopolis students with study-related neck and upper-back pain, remote-working young professionals with low-back pain, NDG Park runners and cyclists with tendinopathies, and post-surgical patients from the Glen and Jewish General Hospital. Our bilingual, multicultural approach makes clinical communication easy.

Why NDG trusts us
NDG is a lively, multicultural, student-driven neighbourhood, strongly shaped by Concordia (Loyola campus), Marianopolis College and Monkland Avenue. Residents combine an active lifestyle (NDG Park, jogging along Côte-Saint-Antoine, cycling on Sherbrooke) with intense professional demands — start-ups, NPOs, professional firms, remote work. This combination produces very specific injury profiles: postural low-back pain, overuse tendinopathies, patellofemoral syndromes and sprains in urban cyclists.
Our clinic is 6 to 12 minutes by car from most NDG addresses, accessible via Sherbrooke West, Côte-Saint-Antoine or the Décarie Expressway (Queen-Mary exit). Free parking is a major advantage in NDG where street parking is often difficult. Evening (until 8 PM) and Sunday appointments suit students, freelancers and young families particularly well.
We care for a very diverse clientele: university students with low-back pain from long study sessions, young professionals with remote-work neck pain, NDG Park runners and cyclists with tendinopathies and overuse injuries, parents with carrying-related strain and early-onset osteoarthritis, plus a strong Caribbean, African and Latin American community. Our physiotherapist works in French and English — communication is always adapted to your language of comfort.
Typical profile: a 32-year-old runner living near NDG Park, training for his first marathon. Consults for left Achilles pain after 4 months of training. Assessment: moderate insertional tendinopathy, calf weakness, poor load progression. Plan: 10 sessions combining the Alfredson eccentric program, taping, glute strengthening and revising the training plan with his coach. After 8 weeks, full return to long runs; marathon completed 3 months later with no recurrence. This profile — young, sporty professional, motivated, autonomous with his program — is common in our NDG clientele.
