Your first visit
What you need to know before coming for the first time.
What to bring
Your prescription if you have one, your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound scans, your doctor’s reports and your health insurance papers.
To reimburse you, your insurer asks for the treatment form (feuille de soins) and the prescription.
What to wear
Comfortable clothes you can move freely in: shorts for a knee or an ankle, a vest top for a shoulder or the back.
The assessment
The first session has two parts.
The diagnostic assessment: an in-depth talk about your symptoms, your medical history and your test results, followed by a functional assessment.
The rehabilitation plan: a personalised programme based on your diagnosis, your needs and your goals, then the start of treatment.
How long it takes
How long a session lasts depends on the problem treated and the type of care. The number of sessions per week is decided case by case.
To cancel or move an appointment, let the practice know the day before, by phone or WhatsApp.
Prepare my assessment
A PDF questionnaire to fill in at home, once, before your first session: why you are coming, where and since when, your health, your expectations. About 10 minutes, every answer is optional. Bring it to the practice, printed or on your phone.

My pain diary
A PDF diary to fill in on your phone, day after day: pain from 0 to 10, what makes it worse or better, exercises done. Show it at your session: it helps track your progress.
