Elise Skaf

Elise graduated in occupational therapy from McGill University in 2014. She has been a part of the Physiothérapie Boisbriand team for over 7 years. Through her internships and studies, she developed a particular interest in musculoskeletal disorders that evolved over time into a passion for hand therapy.

Elise’s clientele primarily consists of private patients with hand-related pathologies who seek treatment for pain or after upper limb surgery.

Elise works collaboratively with her patients to establish a treatment plan that meets their expectations. With a strong focus on their recovery, she has been able to complete several continuing education courses to deepen her knowledge in hand therapy and provide the best possible service to her patients.
