I have decided to become an osteopath after scientific studies in preparatory classes (engineering and veterinary french selective classes) at the Lycée Fermat (Toulouse, France).
I graduated in 2014 from the Centre Européen d'Enseignement Supérieur de l’Ostéopathie de Lyon, 5-full-years curses in osteopathy with the agreement of the Health Administration in France, after an Erasmus student exchange program at the Escola d’Osteopatia de Barcelona (Spain). Then I have begun to work, becoming a collaborator in a clinic in Toulouse with Jean-Paul Orliac, and practicing in Perpignan too, in particular with CrossFit athletes. During my first year of practice a a professional, we made a team for a medical camp, in order to organize a medical volunteer trek in Nepal. We went there for a month with the association Ostéopathie Solidarité Développement. In 2016, aiming at introducing osteopathy among public health services, in particular for the firemen, we have co-created a position for osteopaths in the health and medical rescue service with the head physician of firemen for the SDIS 66 and two colleagues. Involved in studies of fascia, both in clinics and research, my hypothesis about the mode of action of the osteopathic recoil technique was selected for poster presentations in various international congresses (International Fascia Research Congresses, Washington DC 2015, Berlin 2018 ; British Fascia Symposium, Worcester 2016 ; European Fascia Congress, Bruxelles 2016). After these experiences, while still practicing osteopathy, I have undertaken a Master of Science in biomechanics at the University of Lyon, aware that as osteopaths in France, we needed more research and acknowledgement as evidence-based medicine. Then I have been admitted in a research team, from the Research institute in Biomechanics of Lyon, France (LBMC), and have created a testing protocol using elastography for the recoil osteopathic technic, in order to achieve my internship for the Master. I graduated from the Master in 2017 and stayed in a collaboration with the biomechanics lab in Lyon where I did my internship, to continue the research projects that we started about elastography, osteopathy and fascia. In 2018, I have been hired for one year at Ostéo 7-7, an osteopathic permanency in Switzerland (Geneva and Lausanne), to carry on my evolution as a clinician, being part of a dynamic team, practicing with a lot of patients, and continuing my education among my Swiss colleagues. After more than 10 years of education and professional experiences, I have decided to come back in the south of France to create there my own structure, Osteo-FasciaConnection. While launching my clinic, I spent several months in a perinatal office with midwives and colleagues specialized in babies osteopathic practice, to continue my education in pediatrics and get an immersion in the world of parenthood. I also got the opportunity to have my first experience as a teacher at the osteopathic school of Toulouse (ITO) at the end of 2019. Now I wish to share my osteopathic practice with as much people as possible, coming from all these experiences and meetings, linked with osteopathy and fascia. |
