Holder of a doctorate in podiatric medicine from UQTR, Dr. Marc-André Héroux, podiatrist, has been working at the podiatric clinic of Drummondville for many years. Having often split his time between his current clinic and the podiatric clinic of Mauricie, Marc-André Héroux, DPM, has been able to consolidate the diversity of his knowledge base.

Very interested in biomechanical and postural disorders, Dr. Héroux, podiatrist, is regularly sought after by a sports clientele.

From student to trainer

Despite a traditional academic path that saw him complete an internship at the respected New York College of Podiatric Medicine, the practitioner has always been eager for new information.

Thus, in addition to this internship, he has also equipped himself with training in manual foot therapy (active release technique and foot mobilisation technique).

The acquisition of this type of technique allows him, among other things, to:

• Promote faster healing of the affected limb;
• Improve your range of motion;
• Reduce your muscle tension;
• Increase the elasticity and flexibility of the muscle and scar tissue fibers in the foot.

In addition to his regular patients, Dr. Héroux, podiatrist, is qualified to intervene with athletes.

Being a great athlete himself, he can be called upon to propose custom orthotics for specific sports, such as figure skating and skiing.

His practice, largely focused on biomechanics and manual therapy, has led him to develop a specialized course in manual therapy for his fellow podiatrists in Quebec.

The well-being of all at heart

Just like his colleague, podiatrist Caroline Descôteaux, Marc-André Héroux, DPM, advocates values of respect and adaptation to each patient’s situation. In addition to his involvement as a trainer, he is committed to promoting healthy lifestyle habits in his region.

In summary, it is the expertise and meticulousness of podiatrist Marc-André Héroux that make him a valuable ally in the treatment and follow-up of your foot injuries.
