Whether you come for a passing discomfort, a pain that is settling in, or sports-related follow-up, my goal remains the same: attentive listening and tailored care that respects your own pace.

As a professional musician and an athlete, I know first-hand the physical demands of a rigorous practice. I pay particular attention to the pain and injuries that come with it, whether they affect the athlete (from amateur to competitor) or the musician contending with the strain their instrument imposes.

My experience in hospital settings (Erasme Hospital, Ixelles Hospital) taught me to work within a multidisciplinary team and to refer you to the right professional whenever the situation calls for it.

Reasons for consultation:

Lower back pain: low back pain, lumbago, sciatica, disc-related pain

Neck pain: cervicalgia, stiff neck, cervicobrachial neuralgia

Thoracic: mid-back pain, rib pain

Pelvis: sacroiliac, lumbopelvic

Pregnancy

Sports-related pain: sports injuries, muscle and joint lesions

Pain related to musical practice: postural tension, neck, forearms, wrists and hands, breathing and diaphragmatic mechanics, TMJ

Musculoskeletal tension: muscle tightness, tendinopathies, postural disorders

Jaw disorders: TMJ, pain when chewing, restricted mouth opening, clicking

Stress-related tension: tension headaches, stiffness

My way of working rests on three principles: listening to you, understanding the origin of your pain, and offering you a tailored treatment grounded in current clinical research. These three stages all draw on the same quality, one that lies at the heart of my work: sensitivity — the kind that attunes itself to you, follows the movement of your body and puts a finger on what is causing your pain.
