Post-operative osteopathy in La Ciotat:
to accompany your recovery gently
After surgery, your body needs time and proper care to recover and regain its balance. As an osteopath, I support you throughout this important stage by helping relieve post-operative pain, reduce tension caused by the procedure, and restore mobility and everyday comfort. My goal is to make your recovery as smooth, comfortable, and reassuring as possible.
Hospital-Based Expertise
Before opening my osteopathy practice in La Ciotat, I spent several years working in hospital departments, particularly in maternity, surgery, and post-operative care. This experience allowed me to work closely with multidisciplinary medical teams, including surgeons, physiotherapists, and nurses, giving me a deeper understanding of the specific needs of patients during recovery.
Working in a hospital environment taught me the importance of clinical rigour, patient safety, and providing the right care at every stage of recovery. Today, I apply this experience to my osteopathic practice, offering treatment that is tailored to your individual needs, respects your body's natural healing process, and complements the medical care you receive.
Nanterre Hospital Centre – Max Fourestier Hospital
I have worked across several hospital departments, including rehabilitation and follow-up care, maternity, and long-term care facilities. These experiences allowed me to support patients recovering from surgery or childbirth, with a focus on restoring mobility, relieving pain, and promoting recovery. They also taught me to tailor each treatment with care and precision, taking into account every patient's age, medical condition, and individual needs.
Regional Hospital of Orléans – La Source Hospital
I also worked in radiology, rheumatology, and gynaecology. This multidisciplinary experience gave me a comprehensive understanding of post-operative recovery and the specific needs of surgical patients. Working closely with hospital medical teams enabled me to develop a personalised, safe, and patient-centred approach that complements hospital care and helps each individual recover with greater comfort and confidence.
Why consult an osteopath after an operation?
Joint Pain and Stiffness
After surgery (knee, hip, shoulder, etc.), it is common to experience tension or a loss of mobility. Osteopathy helps restore flexibility to the tissues and improve functional recovery.
Digestive Health and Wound Healing
Certain surgical procedures (abdominal, gynecological, digestive) can cause bloating, discomfort, or scar tissue tension. Osteopathy supports recovery and promotes better tissue mobility.
Sleep Disorders and Fatigue
Recovery is often accompanied by fatigue, difficulty finding a comfortable position, or waking up due to pain. Osteopathic care helps to relax the body and improve the quality of rest.
Overall Body Balance
Surgery can disrupt posture and create muscular or joint compensations. Osteopathy helps to rebalance the body and prevent the development of chronic pain.
