Misha is the Founder & CEO of Physicentrix. While on a skiing trip he broke his femur in Panorama, BC. What followed was a long ambulance ride back to Calgary and an introduction to a local orthopedic surgeon at the Foothills Hospital. Following multiple doctor visits, taking a bunch of painkillers that made his stomach hurt and seeing his lower limbs reduced to toothpicks during his 2 weeks at the hospital…
He became very frustrated and discouraged!
Luckily, about a year later he was able to fully resume his activities after much time, effort and energy and the help of healthcare professionals, family, and friends. A couple of crutches and a cane played a role too.
This was his first experience with physical rehabilitation.
He realized there could be improvements with how pain and injuries are managed and what clients truly value when your life flashes in front of you 20 feet in the air facing a wall of pine trees.
That’s one of the reasons he founded Physicentrix so that people in Montreal can receive quality care in a friendly, warm environment.
Born in Calgary he moved to Montreal to study at McGill University where he met his wife and now lives in Laval with his family.

Kelsey grew up in Winnipeg with two sisters and her dog Kina. She fell in love with learning how the human body functions after her first biology course in high school, which was the catalyst for a career in healthcare. So, she moved to Montreal to study at McGill University. After graduation, she decided to stick around a bit longer. Her partner Max may have had something to do with that too.
After having gone through different pains, she understands the frustration of stopping activities you enjoy. She knows the fear of living with the uncertainty of not knowing how to get better.
Now she aims to share her knowledge to help others get back to doing the things they love without the worry of painkillers and surgery. In her spare time, you can find Kelsey at the gym, watching F1 on Sundays, or taking pictures of her food at restaurants.
