Julie Mischook

Osteopath and Massage Therapist

Julie’s love and passion for competitive sports led her to be a life long student of human anatomy and biomechanics. Academically she gravitated to health sciences and biology which ultimately led to completion of Swedish Massage Therapy, Masso-kinesitherapy and Sport Massage certification at Kine-Concept Institute by 1999.

 

Her capable hands coupled with her understanding of the human anatomy quickly found her providing therapeutic massage to clients in Montreal as well as helping several professional and amateur athletes in the Montreal area including players from the NHL and CFL, just to name a few.

 

In 2004, Julie founded Force Vitale, a therapeutic and sports massage clinic employing like minded massage therapists which has served the West Island for 18 years. In parallel she accepted a position as an instructor at Kine Concept Institute which allows her to teach her expertise and knowledge to future massage therapists.

 

Her passion for providing her clients with best in class care led her to acquire her Osteopathy Diploma from Sutherland Academy of Osteopathy of Quebec, her thesis was “Osteopathic Treatment on Asthmatics”; where she was retained as an instructor specialized in pulmonary care.

 

If this wasn’t enough, Julie went on to gain a certification in Somatraining, which is an approach to training with an osteopathic vision, where you will find her recommending postural exercises such as ELDOA, myo-fascial stretches or analytical strengthening exercices as part of her treatment protocol.

 

This makes Julie amongst a handful of Canadians to be certified for both Osteopathy and Somatraining.  

 

Her experience over the 24 years, expertise and unique certification allows her to provide exceptional care for all her clients in a clinic which prides itself on exceptional customer service.

 

Julie is a registered member of Société Canadienne pour la Traduction de l'ostéopathie (So.Ca.To), Association Québécoise des Thérapeutes Naturels (AQTN)
