D.O., Member of Ostéopathie Québec.The past 30 years have been quite the journey. A variety of work settings have included a private out-patient clinic, a major rehabilitation institute, CLSCs, acute hospitals and of course home care. Along the way continued education courses have exposed me to many aspects of our profession and how we can support the amazing human machine/being from cradle to grave. The additional training as an osteopath has given me another vision into the human state and offers further tools with which to support my clients. Seeing clients both at home and at the out-patient clinic further enriches my vision and skill set.

Having a dual responsibility of clinician and administrator of ERD, gives me a unique point of view which allows me to see my clients in their multi-facetted aspects.

Having had the opportunity to follow some of my neurologically impacted clients for over 30 years has also allowed me a peek into family and social dynamics, making my job ever so much richer. It has been a privilege to work with my clients over the past decades and I hope to continue doing so for a few more.

Graduated from CEGEP Montmorency 2003.
Special interests in rehabilitation, geriatrics and community medicine.

My name is Van Viet Phung and I’m from Vietnam. I graduated in 2000 from Marie-Victorin College in Physical Rehabilitation Techniques. I have completed the 5 year first-cycle section in osteopathy at College of Osteopathic Studies Montreal (CEO) and a year of Kinesiology at the University of Montreal. Before joining ERD in march 2005, I worked for over 4 years in an out-patient private.

What I like about my work is the human side of rehabilitation. I work with clients with significant challenges, each unique to the client and his situation. The approach is completely different from that of conventional physiotherapy and although it is demanding it is also very rewarding.

Graduated from Collège Montmorency in 1986.What I like most of physiotherapy is its effectiveness both in terms of prevention and treatment. I am passionate about everything related to falls prevention, neurology, orthopedics and rheumatology. The prevention and treatment of osteoporosis interests me even more. Finally, I always had at heart the safety stakeholders (and patients) what motivates me to pass on my knowledge as a trainer PDSB

Since I started as a therapist, I have been fortunate to work with a senior clientele in their living environment. What I love about working in the client’s home is to adjust my interventions to their environment and thus keep their independence as long as possible. In addition, our intervention program is adapted to their strengths and weaknesses including their interests and life habits that have been accumulated over their lifetime.

Since starting his practice, Mihail has acquired much experience working with persons with neurological impairments. Working in the homecare setting from the beginning, he has continued to appreciate this type of work. He has supplemented his clinical skills by becoming a certified massage therapist which is a plus when dealing with musculo-skeletal issues. His active listening, devotion to his patients and desire to contribute to their quality of life, make of him an accomplished therapist.
