Presenter: Elaine Maheu
Elaine Maheu’s journey to practicing physiotherapy began in 1978 when she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy at McGill University in Montreal. Advancing her education, Elaine also went on to obtain her post-graduate diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy across the world from the South Australian Institute of Technology in Adelaide, Australia. Finally, Elaine completed her Masters in Clinical Science – Manual Therapy at the University of Western Ontario.
As an academic, Elaine has embarked on many teaching and research endeavours, too many to name them all. Since the year of 1986, Elaine has been an instructor of post-graduate manual therapy courses for physiotherapy associations and physiotherapy schools in Switzerland, France, and Belgium. She has also taught dentists on the temporomandibular joint in the specialty program for dentists at the University of Montreal. Currently, Elaine is an instructor of all the post-graduate manual therapy courses in the syllabus of the Orthopaedic Division of the CPA since 1984. Elaine’s research portfolio includes management of sacroiliac and pelvic disorders, history and concepts in manual therapy, and thoracic pathology.
Working at Constance Lethbridge Rehabilitation Center in Montreal as part of the Orthopaedic Team marked the start of Elaine’s in-clinic practice. She later moved on to private practice in various clinics, including co-owning one. Throughout her career, Elaine has also consulted physiotherapists and various specialists in orthopaedics, rheumatology, neurology, and sports medicine.
Elaine’s accomplishments reach far and wide. Generous with her time and expertise, Elaine has sat on various committees, including the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy (CAMT), the Chief Examiners Group for the Canadian Exams in Manual Therapy, and the Manual Steering Committee of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, to name a few. Elaine was also the Canadian delegate to the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapists (a sub-group of the then-named World Confederation of Physical Therapists, now World Physiotherapy) from 1996 to 2000. For over fifteen years, Elaine was responsible for the organization of manual therapy courses in Quebec as a member of the Orthopaedic Interest Group.
Elaine has won multiple notable awards and has continuously been the recipient of many distinguished honours. She has successfully worn many hats and taken on many roles – a teacher, a practitioner, a researcher, a lecturer, a mentor, and a genuine friend.
A trusted voice in the physiotherapy profession, Elaine is also a past recipient (2012) of The Golden Hands Award of the National Orthopaedic Division of the CPA and is widely considered a long-standing and passionate proponent of manual therapy both in Canada and internationally.
