Elie Zafoe
Physiotherapist
« Greatness comes from humble beginnings. »
His superpowers
His greatest superpower is his ability to deeply understand his patients, as he is an avid athlete himself. Elie understands their goals, their fears, and their desire to get back to their level. This empathy allows our therapist to easily put himself in their shoes and adapt his approach in a highly personalized way for everyone.
His passions
When he is not at the clinic or on a sports field, Elie cultivates diverse interests that allow him to unwind. Our therapist is a great fan of reading, an ideal activity to relax and feed his curiosity daily. Additionally, he has a very creative side that he expresses through video editing during his free time. Finally, to completely disconnect after a busy day, this enthusiast particularly enjoys immersing himself in the world of anime.
His approach
For Elie, every person has the necessary resources to adapt, progress, and improve. His role as a physiotherapist is to guide the patient and teach them how to use these tools so they can become the main actor in their own rehabilitation. Our therapist focuses primarily on strengthening, movement, and education to allow the individual to better understand their body’s strengths and limits. Manual therapy is also part of his toolkit, particularly to build a bond of trust and help the patient feel better physically. While healing and returning to function are essential, performance also takes center stage in this physiotherapist’s practice. His goal isn’t just to bring his patients back to their pre-injury state, but to support them so they can return to their best level, or even become stronger and perform better than before.
His bacckground
Our therapist studied kinesiology for two years before shifting his focus to physiotherapy, driven by the desire to combine his passion for movement, health, and performance. Elie has played competitive soccer his entire life and currently plays at the semi-professional level. This physiotherapist is also passionate about endurance and performance sports, having notably participated in a marathon and a HYROX competition in the Pro category. These high-level sports experiences greatly influence his clinical approach and his understanding of sports demands.
