Our Physiotherapists in Montréal and Physiotherapists in Dorval in the West Island

Founded in 2008, the AMS Medical and Rehabilitation Centre is the result of the initiative of several health professionals   , including Richard Bouzaglou. Throughout his studies in sports medicine (at Concordia University) and physiotherapy (at McGill University), Richard has developed a wide range of therapeutic approaches in Montréal. He is recognized as the main designer of an innovative and interdisciplinary rehabilitation department in one of the largest private centres in Québec.

It is this energy and sense of innovation that he has brought to the AMS Clinic. In sports medicine, Richard has had the opportunity to work with high-calibre athletes during his years as head therapist in the fields of hockey, soccer, and soccer teams at CÉGEP Saint-Laurent. Wishing to further his training in the field, he then turned to the prestigious Department of Physiotherapy at McGill University, from which he graduated in 1999. A fervent supporter of continuing education, Richard has taken (and continues to take) advanced courses in osteopathy, manual therapy, spine examination and treatment, as well as several specialized spine treatment seminars, such as the McKenzie Method and the Mulligan Concept. A firm believer that knowledge rhymes with learning, Richard has also served as clinical residency director for physiotherapy students at Université de Montréal, McGill University, and CÉGEP Marie-Victorin.

Adriana is a physiotherapist who graduated from the Universidade Paulista in Brazil in 2002. She specialized in orthopedics at the Hospital das Clinicas, the largest and most famous hospital in Latin America, for one year. This program was the most selective in the country, with only five spots available throughout Brazil.

After her specialization, Adriana worked for 8 years in the private sector, providing pre and post-orthopedic surgery rehabilitation, with a particular focus on spinal surgeries, using the Holistic Gymnastics method as her treatment tool. The results achieved with this method were excellent, as 80% of the cases were able to avoid surgery.

The Holistic Gymnastics Method was created by Dr. Lily Ehrenfried, a German physician and physiotherapist. There are only three trainers of this method worldwide: Catherine Casini in France, Lucie Tétreault in Canada, and Patricia Lacombe in Brazil.

In 2016, Adriana successfully completed the physiotherapy qualification program at the University of Montreal, which provided her with the opportunity to complete internships in major institutions in Montreal, such as the Gingras-Lindsay Institute of Montreal and the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital. Since 2016, she has been working as a physiotherapist in Montreal, and her goal is to promote patient well-being and autonomy. To achieve this goal, she continues to pursue continuing education, such as the McKenzie method, the Mulligan concept, and updates on Holistic Gymnastics in Brazil and Canada.

Adriana is passionate about human movement, which stems from years of practicing classical ballet and flamenco. She particularly enjoys the field of postural rehabilitation and continues to specialize in this branch of physiotherapy. In January 2022, she obtained a specialization in Pilates on the floor, and intends to continue practicing Pilates with equipment and other methods that work the body holistically.

On a personal note, Adriana’s first contact with physiotherapy occurred during a difficult time in her life. During her classical ballet sessions, she broke her left toe and injured her knee. Consequently, she had to undergo physiotherapy every day to continue dancing. Two years later, she realized that she wanted to become a physiotherapist. In her opinion, it was more important to help someone recover their ability to walk than to teach them to walk on their toes. She has never regretted her decision and believes that physiotherapy chose her, rather than the other way around.
