As we age, joints stiffen and pain sets in more easily. I see seniors with gentle osteopathy, adapted to their pace and their situation. My support is in addition to your medical follow-up, not a replacement for it.
For which situations?
- Prevention and maintaining mobility.
- Joint pain and rheumatic conditions, alongside the follow-up by your doctor or rheumatologist.
- After injuries (fall, sprain), once medical care is finished.
- Support with a condition already followed by your doctor.
See a doctor first
After a fall, see a doctor first to rule out a fracture, especially if you take anticoagulant medication or have hit your head. Also seek medical advice without delay in case of:
- chest pain or breathlessness;
- new confusion, weakness on one side of the body or speech difficulties;
- sudden, severe back pain;
- unexplained fatigue or weight loss.
Osteopathy does not replace medical advice or treatment.
Your treatments and conditions
Please tell me about your conditions and medications (anticoagulants, osteoporosis, prostheses, etc.) when booking. Bring your prescription and your latest reports. My movements are gentle and adapted to your condition.
The consultation
A consultation lasts 45 minutes: a discussion to understand your situation, a clinical examination, then osteopathic tests and treatment with tailored practical advice.
If you find it hard to get around
I make home visits in Lyon 1st, 2nd and 4th, and in Caluire. See the home visits page.
