In 2003, Julie Boilard graduated from the University of Ottawa with her baccalaureate in physiotherapy. She then pursued training in pelvic floor re-education, as well as vestibular rehabilitation, which relates to the inner ear and a person's sense of balance.

Now the owner of Physio Advantage Plus, Julie Boilard puts all of her education to work, helping her patients overcome problems ranging from incontinence and pelvic pain, to vertigo and migraines. She also now boasts certification to practice dry needling, a kind of trigger-point therapy that uses fine needles to reduce musculoskeletal pain.
