Osteopath
Osteopathy is an alternative medicine specializing in manual therapy. Although it originally emerged from a blend of traditional American medicine during the Civil War and Native American shamanism, it is now based on well-documented anatomical and physiological principles. Its name comes from the ancient Greek “osteo” meaning bone. The primary aim of osteopaths is to relieve a person's physical discomforts.
Osteopaths have 4 fields of expertise: cranial, visceral, musculoskeletal, and facial. To learn more, read our

TAclinique osteopaths specialize in high-level athletes, regular or occasional sportspeople, pregnant women (pregnancy and postpartum), as well as anyone with chronic pain or frequent aches (e.g., back, shoulder, neck, knee).

Massage therapist
Massage therapy is an alternative approach to treating and releasing muscular tension. It includes Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and kinesiotherapy.
Swedish massage is designed to relax the body and release muscular tension. This type of massage is very popular in spas and with pregnant women.
Sports massage is a more active approach to releasing muscular discomfort and preparing tissues for a sporting event.
Therapists work with activation or deep myofascial release approaches using manual techniques, cupping or IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization).
Kinesiotherapy is a movement massage based on Swedish massage. The primary aim of this approach is to release muscular tension by using manual techniques to activate or relax tissues.

Naturopath

Functional neurologist
Functional neurology is a complementary approach based on neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the ability of our nervous system to change and adapt to the environment, whether external or internal. Brain health and its ability to perceive environmental stimuli have a profound impact on the autonomic nervous system—specifically, the sympathetic nervous system (fight, freeze, or flight) and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digestion). Loss of function is often the result of chemical, physical, or emotional stress that damages the brain’s neural pathways.

Athletic therapy
Athletic therapy is a health discipline that aims to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate injuries related to physical activity. It is intended for athletes of all levels, from beginners to elite athletes, as well as the general active population. It combines knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and sports training.
The sports therapist evaluates movement, posture, and technical skills to identify imbalances. They use manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, and sometimes physical agents (cold, heat, etc.).
A key objective is a rapid yet safe return to sports, without the risk of relapse. Sports therapy also includes educating athletes on warm-ups, stretching, and recovery. It is often part of a multidisciplinary team (sports physician, physical therapist, strength and conditioning coach). It addresses both acute injuries (sprains, tears) and chronic conditions (tendinitis, overuse injuries). Finally, it helps optimize performance by improving movement quality and resistance to fatigue.

Kinesiology
Kinesiology is defined as the science of movement. Its goals include the prevention of chronic health conditions (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, etc.), rehabilitation following an injury, and the improvement of physical performance through specific exercises tailored to the individual.
