Frédérique Brousseau

Experience and training

Frédérique combines a Swedish massage foundation with some deep tissue techniques and a flow inspired by Momentum massage. All these different trainings allow her to remain open in her practice. Her primary interest lies in the biomechanical aspects of movement, without precluding her from embracing more holistic approaches. The question always remains: why does the body react in a certain way at different stages of life?

Frédérique has also trained in lymphatic drainage (Leduc method). Lymphatic drainage is a slow treatment. Superficial to the touch, it aims for a deeper result: optimizing the lymphatic pathway to the lymph nodes to filter metabolic waste. Excellent for the immune system, this treatment also helps to bring lightness to heavy limbs.

"The body is always teaching us something, and it is with great curiosity that I continue to meet those who need to grant themselves these important moments of respite."

Methods and techniques

Frédérique primarily uses Swedish massage, an ideal technique for relaxation, muscle recovery, and improved mobility. She also incorporates passive mobilizations to stretch and relax overworked muscles, as well as precise maneuvers to release localized tension. Her approach is always personalized: she adapts her sequences according to the client's condition and expectations, ranging from dynamic techniques to revitalize to enveloping movements to soothe. She also pursues ongoing training, particularly in lymphatic drainage, with the intention of further specializing in therapeutic, sports, and craniosacral massage.

Therapeutic approach

Frédérique adopts a calm, effective, and attentive approach. She tailors each session to the specific needs of her clients, prioritizing active listening to determine the best approach: dynamic sequences to revitalize, enveloping techniques to relax, passive mobilizations to release overworked muscles, or precise maneuvers to unravel tension. She believes that each encounter is unique and adjusts her intervention based on what she perceives in the individual she is working with.
