Osteopathy & Sustainable Performance in Nice
Specialist in movement dynamics and mind-body regulation, I support anyone seeking deep and lasting well-being.
Each session is based on a thorough and fully individualized assessment: your life journey, your current posture, your daily habits and your personal goals serve as a guideline to build a tailor-made approach, resolutely oriented towards deep and lasting changes, far beyond temporary relief.
I integrate the following approaches in a complementary and adapted way for each person:
My Osteopathy Specializations
A global, gentle and personalized manual approach for athletes, stress management, families and daily well-being in Nice.
Anxiety & Stress Management
Living under constant pressure triggers concrete physical symptoms, such as neck stiffness or persistent fatigue, which end up trapping the mind in a vicious circle. Osteopathy intervenes to release these tensions, regulate the nervous system and restore the overall balance between body and mind.
Release of stress-related tension
Cervical, jaw, diaphragm, pelvis
Nervous regulation
Cranial techniques promoting relaxation, sleep, inner calm
Visceral & fascial
Work on digestive and respiratory areas amplified by stress
Individual postural assessment
Holistic and personalized mind-body approach
Sports Osteopathy & Sustainable Performance
Nice, world capital of triathlon: Ironman France, 70.3 Worlds… The body endures extreme loads: cumulative impacts, asymmetric rotations, intense overexertion. To perform sustainably without injury, osteopathy optimizes mobility, recovery and biomechanical balance.
Injury prevention
Joint restrictions, postural imbalances, fascial tension
Performance optimization
Release of muscle chains and improved range of motion
Recovery & drainage
Post-exercise, overloads and repeated microtrauma
Rehabilitation & stress management
Return to sport post-injury and competition mental focus
Accelerated Recovery & Tissue Drainage
After competition or intense training, osteopathy boosts circulation, improves mobility and reduces stiffness.
Post-exercise tissue drainage
Elimination of toxins and rapid muscle recovery after effort
Full body release
Joint unlocking after heavy loads and overexertion
Vascular improvement
Optimization of vascularization and tissue oxygenation
Prevention of sports interruptions
Reduction of injury risk
Pregnant Women / Post-partum
A gentle and fully personalized approach for expectant mothers. A gentle method to rebalance your supports during pregnancy, reduce postural asymmetries linked to bodily changes and deeply relieve the back, pelvis and legs.
Pregnancy Follow-up
Sleep disorders, sciatica, neck pain, pubalgia, low back pain, upper back pain… these common ailments during pregnancy can be relieved thanks to a gentle method to re-harmonize your supports and restore comfort
Post-partum follow-up
Pelvic rebalancing for better stability, compassionate management of common pain and respectful treatment of scars, to experience these stages with more comfort and serenity.
Complete postural assessment
Analysis of imbalances and adapted structural corrections
Sustainable prevention
Postural optimization and prevention of chronic pain
Posturology
A gentle, holistic and fully personalized approach to restore harmonious postural balance. A gentle method to retrain your postural sensors, rebalance your supports, reduce asymmetries and deeply relieve tension accumulated in the back, pelvis, lower limbs and all muscle chains.
Complete Postural Assessment
In-depth and systematic evaluation of your static and dynamic posture. Detailed interview, analysis of postural sensors (podal, ocular, mandibular, vestibular), examination of muscle chains, center of gravity and asymmetries. This assessment identifies the origins of chronic musculoskeletal disorders and defines an adapted and prioritized care plan.
Postural osteopathic follow-up
Targeted and progressive manual treatment focused on the rehabilitation of postural sensors to restore overall balance. Release of joint and fascial restrictions, precise re-education of sensors (podal, ocular, mandibular, vestibular…), rebalancing of supports and normalization of compensation chains. Sessions, adapted to the patient's evolution, aim for lasting pain reduction, better stability and optimal postural economy.
Management of MSD
Repetitive movements, prolonged poor posture or physical intensity trigger concrete joint and muscle pain, such as sudden lumbago or disabling sciatica, which end up limiting your daily movements. Osteopathy intervenes to release these blockages, reduce inflammation and restore your body's overall mobility.
RELIEF OF ACUTE PAIN
Lumbago, sciatica, torticollis, cruralgia, vertebral blockages
REGULATION OF MUSCULAR TENSION
Myofascial release techniques to release contractures and stiffness
RESTORATION OF MOVEMENT

Thanks to this background, your care is more vigilant, more precise and highly secure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What you often wonder before consulting.
Will it hurt?
Osteopathy is not just about forceful manipulations. Treatment only begins after a complete assessment. The gestures are chosen according to your condition. Nothing is forced, everything is explained as we go along.
Is it covered by health insurance?
85% of supplementary health insurance policies reimburse one or more osteopathy sessions per year. I give you an invoice to submit directly to your insurance provider.
What should I wear?
Comfortable, flexible clothing is ideal. The main thing is to be able to move freely during the consultation.
Why is your approach different?
Because the treatment always follows the examination, not the other way around. I work according to the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine: current scientific data, clinical experience, and what you specifically expect from the session.
Do I need a prescription?
No. Osteopathy is directly accessible, you can book an appointment directly on Doctolib, without going through your general practitioner.
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Saturday from 7:30 AM to 9 PM, Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM
How much does an osteopathy consultation cost?
The rate for a standard session at the practice is €70 (Monday to Saturday). The rate is €90 for home visits, as well as for sessions at the practice on Sundays and public holidays. An invoice will always be given to you at the end of the session for your insurance provider.
