John Dale Comia, Membre AMQ, OPPQ

Massage Therapist

Enter the world of compassionate care and dedicated expertise with John, a rehabilitation therapist who stands as a pillar of professionalism and knowledge. With an innate ability to connect with his patients and an unquenchable thirst for learning, John is a true partner in his patients’ journey towards better health.

John’s journey began when he graduated from the physiotherapy technology program at Dawson College in the summer of 2021. Fueled by a desire to make a meaningful impact, he eagerly stepped into the role of filling a critical need in CHSLDs, working alongside the elderly population in collaboration with a skilled multidisciplinary team. Over the course of the past two years, John’s experience has finely honed the skills required to collaborate seamlessly with physiotherapy and medical professionals, specializing in deconditioning and the rehabilitation of the elderly population.

Intrinsically motivated by his commitment to patient care, John expanded his skill set to become a certified massage therapist. This added layer of expertise has further enriched his ability to provide holistic support to his patients.

Despite having garnered experience in rehabilitation & physiotherapy centers, along with private physiotherapy clinics through his clinical education, John felt the limitations brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in his growth and skill development within that sector. To achieve a well-rounded professional profile, he boldly ventured into the private physiotherapy sector. This move was driven by his unwavering commitment to continually enhance his skills and gain the knowledge necessary to flourish in his field.

John thrives on challenges within the realm of physiotherapy, always eager to learn and apply new skills while cherishing interactions with people. His dedication to honing his skills led him to specialize in the McKenzie Method, enhancing his proficiency in physiotherapy techniques. His pursuit of excellence extended to acquiring licensure as a massage therapist, showcasing his dedication to holistic healing.

In 2022, John joined the AMS team, adding his expertise to a collective commitment to patient well-being. As a member of the Ordre Professionnel de la Physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ) and the Association des Massothérapeutes du Québec (AMQ), John operates with the highest standards of professionalism, ensuring that his patients receive care that is both compassionate and rooted in best practices.

John’s rapport with his patients is a testament to his genuine concern for their health and his dedication to their journey of recovery. His blend of knowledge, empathy, and continuous learning serves as a guiding light in the world of rehabilitation therapy. Experience the transformative impact of John’s care and dedication as he partners with you to achieve your health and wellness goals.
