Helping surfers get back on the wave

Don't miss another swell because of back pain

Surfing involves repetitive motions that stress specific joints.That's why working on mobility is crucial for surfers.

Maude Marchand, PT

Physiotherapist certified surf foundation specialist

With over a decade of experience as a physio and surfer, I understand the physical demands of surfing and how it affects the body. As certified surf foundation specialist, I can help you throughout your journey from pain to performance or get you in shape for your next surf trip.

Having to deal with a bulged disk in my lower back and neck during my early twenties, I developed expertise in low back pain rehab soon in my career. I use a method based on my own rehab experience as well as the latest scientific evidence.

I have helped hundreds of patients overcome back pain with my educational program online.

Fun fact: My first language is French but I am fluent in English and Spanish. I started as a landlocked surfer waiting for my next surf trip, but the ocean was calling!
My surfing journey brought me to the warm water of Mexico and the freezing water of the Canadian east coast.

Surfers most frequently experience low back pain (29.3%), shoulder pain (23.9), and neck pain (17.5%), whilst the most common mechanism of injury is paddling (37.1%)

I worked with Maude for the last 3 months. I had some back pain, knee pain, and a rib injury from surfing, so she put together a plan to build up my foundation and build strength. My pain is now gone, my core is a lot stronger, and my surfing feels stronger as well. We used her app to connect and go through each workout, as well as many zoom calls and messages to make sure I understood everything (everything was online). I felt very taken care of and in good hands. I wasn't expecting this level of detail through an online program, so I was pleasantly surprised. Maude is very skilled and passionate at what she does, I would highly recommend her program!

Maude!! I can’t thank you enough for what you have given back to me! Your ability to evaluate my situation and create a tailored-for-my-needs program has re-established function in my low back and hips. Areas that were really compromising my performance on and off my surfboard! I am not only impressed with your tremendous expertise, but also incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with you!! THANK YOU!!!
