Testimonials
Greg Hill - Pro Skier, Arc'teryx team
"As an ageing athlete I recognized the need for skilled professional help. Didié was very adept at identifying my weaknesses and giving me the appropriate exercises to address them, ideally aiding me to adventure forever "
Antoine Valois-Fortier - Judoka, 2012 Olympics bronze medalist
"Didié is one of the very best therapists I had the opportunity to work with. His experience and knowledge as a therapist, combined with his great personality and professionalism, makes him someone I would highly recommend. I believe his versatility makes him one of the best!"
Nat Segal - Pro Skier, Guide & Producer
"Didié has been amazing to work with and a great support for my rehabilitation and dealing with chronic injuries. Thanks for helping me get back into the whiteroom!"
Dan Deckelbaulm - Surgeon & Head Team Physician of the Montreal Canadiens
"While not a pro, I wanted to get treated like one to optimize my performance. Whether recovering from an injury or preparing me for the next expedition, Didier was able to cater my reconditioning and physical preparation for any endeavour. Working a full time job, one does not just pick up and go on a 250km kitesurfing expedition exploring the remote coast of northern Brasil. Any injury in this barely inhabited region of Brasil will incapacitate an entire team where any rescue is almost impossible. Achieving the physical strength and endurance to complete this expedition is another feat. Didier was able to customize my program specifically for kitesurfing by understanding the exact physical mechanics required of the sport. He did the same for ski touring expeditions in Chamonix, preparation for my return to the slalom course on the water, and big wave kitesurfing in North Shore Hawaii. Without a doubt, Didié was crucial to allowing me to complete each expedition safely with a ton of stoke!"
Kajan Johnson - MMA Fighter, UFC
"I began to work with Didié at a very difficult time in my MMA career. After over 30 fights I was finally in the UFC but all those fights had definitely taken their toll. I had recently been knocked out very badly in my UFC debut and had also accumulated a vast array of chronic injuries. My neck was always out, my rotator kept giving me problems and I had recurring issues with my MCL and LCL on both legs.
Because I had some time off to recover from the knockout Didié thought it best we rebuild my body from the ground up. He did a bunch of testing, figuring out where I had problems and then designed a very detailed program to turn it all around.
As a fighter I really liked going hard which is how I had gotten to the situation in the first place. Didié though, pulled me back and made me do very small yet very important breathing, mobility and strengthening literally reteaching me how to move. He did this while at the same time treating whatever flare ups would happen with manual therapy adjustments.
After working with Didié I saw a massive improvement in my chronic injuries and also my athletic performance. Not only that but he gave me an incredible amount of body awareness that has actually helped me to better understand martial arts and efficiency of movement.
I went on a 4 fight win streak in the toughest division of the UFC after Didié. Words can’t express how grateful I am for his help. Anyone wanting to improve their health, mobility, strength or understanding of movement should DEFINITELY work with Didié. "
Mike Forest - Professional car racer, recreational snowboarder
"I cannot thank Didié enough; to quote my surgeon, "there were 100+ pieces of cornflake size bone fragments" when I shattered my tib/fib plateau snowboarding; Didié had me back riding within ten months! Only 18 months later, I am far stronger than I was previously and have an even greater understanding of my body and how to make it perform at its best. If you are not an Olympian, you never get access to Olympic-level trainers, but he offers world-class manual therapy and training that you couldn't even get in the largest cities in North America."
Ghislain Grandisson - Completed 10 Ironman including 5 in Kona
"During my preparation for the Hawaiian IronMan World Championship in 2015, I had a foot injury and I couldn’t run anymore. I met Didié at this crucial time and he helped me to solve the root cause of my injury and get back to running. Not only he helped me with my foot, but also with my mobility and strength, which helped me achieve my goals and prevent other recurring injuries! His professionalism and knowledge really contributed to my success and I’m forever grateful for his help."
Jade Hannah - 2017 and 2019 FINA World Junior Champion at 100m & 200m Backstroke
"’When Didié became my strength and conditioning coach and therapist I notice a huge improvement in my strength and mobility in and out of the water. He helped me develop a base that I am now able to build and grow from. Didié has taught me how to take the next step in becoming a professional athlete in & out of the weight room and without him I wouldn’t have had the success I’ve had in the water up until now!"
Cyrus Gray - National Team Bobsleigh Pilot
"’Working with Didié saved my season. I had severe shin splints and a sprained foot that were preventing me from training. As a bobsleigh athlete, I have to train twice a day, including heavy Olympic weightlifting and sprinting at top speed. Working with him once a week not only helped heal my injuries quickly but also improved my mobility, which made my riding position in the bobsleigh much easier."
