Léna Mardelli provides skilled physiotherapy care for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
Common Msk
- Neck Pain and Stiffness: Discomfort, limited range of motion, and persistent tension in the cervical spine (neck), often related to posture, an injury, stress, or sleeping position.
- Muscle Strains and Tears: Damage or tearing of muscle fibers, ranging from a mild overstretch (Grade 1 strain) to a partial or complete rupture (Grade 2 or 3 tear), typically caused by sudden forceful contraction, excessive stretch, or direct trauma.
Joint Pain
- Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): Commonly known as 'wear-and-tear' arthritis, this condition affects various joints, often worsening with age, overuse, or previous injury, and can significantly impact daily function.
- Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Conditions like 'jumper's knee' (patellar tendinopathy), 'swimmer's shoulder' (rotator cuff tendinopathy), or 'tennis elbow' (lateral epicondylitis) caused by tendon issues that limit your ability to perform specific tasks.
Back Neck Pain
- Postural Back/Neck Pain: Discomfort, aching, stiffness, or muscle fatigue in the back or neck arising from sustained or awkward postures during daily activities, prolonged work (e.g., desk work, computer use), or sleep.
- Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): Symptoms resulting from a whiplash injury, which can vary in severity (WAD Grades I-III) and duration, requiring a comprehensive physiotherapy approach for recovery.
- Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: Symptoms like 'neurogenic claudication' – leg pain, cramping, or heaviness with walking or prolonged standing that typically eases with rest or bending forward (flexion).
This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. If your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Léna can assess your needs.
- Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment: Detailed physical assessment of your joints, muscles, nerves, and movement patterns to identify the root cause of your symptoms and guide your treatment.

- Stretching & Flexibility Programs: Guided stretching routines and flexibility exercises prescribed by your Physiotherapist, aimed at improving your range of motion, reducing muscle tightness or stiffness, and enhancing overall movement quality.
- Personalized Therapeutic Exercise Prescription: Customized exercise plans designed to help you recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, improve physical performance, and achieve your functional goals safely and effectively.

At Groupe Santé Universelle (bureau administratif), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Léna frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Are you finding that that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit stops you from enjoying simply being able to get through a workday without constant pain interruptions? Léna is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve improved hand and wrist function for tasks requiring dexterity through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
- Léna frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of recovering from a concussion and dealing with lingering symptoms like dizziness or headaches. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets experiencing significant pain relief, allowing for a more comfortable daily life and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like giving presentations or speaking publicly with confidence and good posture.
- The journey to a safe and confident return to their favorite sport or recreational activity when faced with persistent that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity is made smoother and more effective with Léna's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain.
Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Léna, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

- Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
- In Quebec, RAMQ generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Certain services within public hospitals or CLSCs might be covered, but private clinic physiotherapy is usually not. It is advisable to verify your specific coverage with RAMQ and check your private extended health insurance plans for reimbursement options.
- What types of conditions do Physiothérapeutes at Groupe Santé Universelle (bureau administratif) treat?
- Léna treats a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes issues such as back and neck pain, joint problems like osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, postural disorders, whiplash injuries, spinal stenosis, sports injuries, nerve pain, and more. Her treatments often involve comprehensive musculoskeletal assessments, targeted exercise prescriptions, manual therapy, and patient education to help achieve functional goals.
- What is the difference between a Physiothérapeute and a Technologue en physiothérapie in Quebec?
- A Physiothérapeute in Quebec has completed a master's level university education, granting them the autonomy to assess patients, diagnose, and develop treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC) and assists in implementing treatment plans, helping patients with exercises, applying modalities, and reporting progress under supervision.
- Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?
- Some discomfort or temporary soreness may occur, especially when working on stiff joints or tight muscles. However, physiotherapy should not be excessively painful. Léna will adjust techniques and intensity to ensure your comfort while still providing effective treatment. Open communication about your sensations is encouraged to optimize your experience.
- What should I do if my condition worsens after a physiotherapy session?
- If you experience a significant increase in pain, new neurological symptoms, or if soreness persists longer than expected, contact Léna or the clinic directly. It may be necessary to reassess your condition and modify your treatment plan to ensure safety and progress.
- Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Physiothérapeute in QC?
- In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician’s referral (known as direct access). However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to verify your insurance policy details before your initial visit.
