Payment methods
Reimbursement
The French national health insurance does not reimburse osteopathy consultations. More and more mutual insurers (mutuelles) do. Before your appointment, ask your mutual insurer:
- whether osteopathy is covered by your policy;
- how many sessions are reimbursed per year, and how much;
- what supporting document it requires.
An invoice is issued at the end of each consultation, for possible reimbursement by your mutual insurer.
Cancelling or rescheduling an appointment
Each appointment reserves a 45-minute slot.
If you cannot come, please cancel your appointment in advance, whatever the reason: a slot freed up in time can be offered to someone who really needs it.

From your appointment confirmation.
By phone
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice before the appointment.
In case of a last-minute problem (illness, emergency), let me know by phone as soon as possible.
If you miss an appointment without notice, you will not be able to book a new one: the reserved slot could have helped someone who needed it.
What happens during a consultation?
It lasts 45 minutes:
- 10 minutes of discussion to understand your situation.
- 5 minutes of clinical examination.
- 30 minutes of tests and osteopathic treatment, with practical advice tailored to each person.
Osteopathy does not replace medical treatment. Only your doctor can change or stop a treatment.
What if I feel worse after a consultation?
A temporary reaction can occur in the days following a session. Read the article: the rebound effect in osteopathy. If in doubt or if you are worried, call me or consult your doctor.
