Florian Diague, osteopath in Lyon: background and training

My background

I qualified as an osteopath (D.O.) in 2016 from the Institut Supérieur d’Ostéopathie de Lyon (ISOstéo) and have been in practice since 2017. After my first years in Varennes-Saint-Sauveur and then Caluire-et-Cuire, I settled in Lyon 4th, in the Croix-Rousse district, and I have also recently started seeing patients in Lyon 2nd, in the Ainay district.

My practice has been built around pediatrics and perinatal care: follow-up of pregnant women, support after childbirth, and care of infants, children and teenagers, particularly for sleep and digestion. My dissertation focused on the relevance of pediatric data at ISOstéo, and I co-authored a publication on the school’s pediatric clinical record.

My practice has also developed around the oro-maxillo-facial area, thanks to several high-quality training courses: functional orthodontics adapted to osteopathy (2018, with a dental surgeon and an osteopath), the cranio-cervico-mandibular system (2022), then the TMJ and occlusion in children and adults (2023). I complemented this approach with half-days of observation in the maxillofacial surgery operating theatre at the Hôpital de la Croix-Rousse (2025 and 2026): revision surgery for craniosynostosis in an adult, realignment of the upper jaw, and wisdom tooth extraction under general anesthesia with repositioning of the upper jaw. I am also interested in fasciae and the management of bodily stress (Somatic Experiencing).

I combine posturology with the maxillo-facial area, in infants, children and adults. I have enriched my experience of sports posturology by working in a sports setting, notably for three years with the 6000D in La Plagne, and through many observation sessions alongside a podiatrist and posturologist. I train every year so as to offer my patients up-to-date techniques, whether I am seeing a baby, an athlete, a musician or a senior.

I also pass on my profession: I taught musculoskeletal anatomy and fascial structures for two years with Marie-Françoise Garcia (yoga teacher and former dancer), I have been a teacher at the Dental Care Center of the Hospices Civils de Lyon since 2023, and I am a placement supervisor and teacher at the ATSA (Andrew Taylor Still Academy). I work with the Caluire et Cuire badminton club (JAAC) and with the Chorale JAAMA de Caluire.

How I work

I practice gentle osteopathy, combining tissue, myofascial, functional and structural approaches. It works on the muscles, joints, viscera and skull.

Each consultation begins with a discussion, then a clinical examination, then osteopathic tests and treatment with practical advice. When your symptoms call for medical advice, I refer you to a doctor. Osteopathy does not replace medical treatment.
