adult: musculoskeletal pain post-trauma (sprains, whiplash, falls) digestive problems (diarrhea, constipation, reflux) gynecological problems (pain during intercourse, pain during menstruation, irregular cycles, testicular pain) headaches, migraines, dizziness voice disorders (dysphonia) and swallowing problems (dysphagia)

pregnant women: musculoskeletal pain preparing the perineum and pelvis for childbirth ligament pain related to uterine growth in the post-partum period, a few osteopathic sessions are often very useful. Patients often have pain related to childbirth, breastfeeding positions and a weakened abdominal girdle. I also recommend an osteopathic session before starting perineal rehabilitation with a physiotherapist.

Areas of expertise Like all osteopaths who have undergone 5 years' full-time training, I treat the classic reasons for consultation (described in detail under Osteopathy) in infants, children, adults and pregnant women.

As part of my annual continuing education program, I have particularly focused on 2 areas : osteopathy applied to urogynecology and pelviperinealogy. This particular approach often helps cure or at least relieve problems such as dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), dysmenorrhea (pain during menstruation), urinary and fecal incontinence, to name but a few. I'm part of a group of osteopaths who meet several times a year, not only to exchange information in this field, but also to raise awareness of this approach, which helps many patients in an area that is still fairly taboo. We work in collaboration with gynaecologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. osteopathy applied to voice and swallowing disorders. Since 2016, I have been working regularly with a phoniatrist at CHUV. We have found that interdisciplinary work involving voice re-education with a speech therapist, posture correction and osteopathic treatment often brings relief to patients suffering from dysphonia or dysphagia.
