ASP at Mont-Tremblant Ironman and Montreal Marathon

Action Sport Physio is proud to be the official sports medicine clinic for these two great events.



Jacinthe Lemieux
For the third year in a row, we will be in Mont-Tremblant on September 7 as part of the Ironman World Championship 70.3 to provide medical care and massages to athletes. Jacinthe Lemieux, athletic therapist and co-owner of the Action Sport Physio Mont-Tremblant clinic, is in charge of coordinating the medical efforts and the many ASP volunteers.

ASP was also at the other three Ironman events that took place in Mont-Tremblant this year: Ironman 5150 Triathlon Mont-Tremblant (June 8), the Subaru Ironman 70.3 Mont-Tremblant (June 22) and the Subaru Ironman North American Championship (17 August).




On Sunday, September 28th, we will be at the Oasis Rock 'n' Roll Montreal Marathon and Half Marathon to greet the runners at the finish line. Treatments and massages will be available to participants at our tent.

On the days before the marathon – on September 26 and 27 – we will be at the Expo-Marathon at Place Bonaventure. Running specialists and physiotherapists Éric Boucher and Rémi Bergeron will give lectures on running on Friday, September 26 at 5 pm and on Saturday, September 27 at 1 pm. Our spokesperson Jimmy Sévigny will also drop by. We hope to see you there!
