Physiotherapist & Osteopath in Courchevel 1850 – In-Chalet Medical Care

Introduction

Courchevel 1850 hosts an international clientele with high expectations regarding medical standards, discretion and availability. My French Physio provides a mobile service combining physiotherapy and osteopathy, delivered at your chalet, hotel or private residence, seven days a week. Each practitioner is qualified in both disciplines, ensuring a comprehensive and coherent clinical assessment.

A dual physiotherapy and osteopathy qualification

Our clinicians hold the French State Diploma in Physiotherapy (D.E.) and a full Diploma in Osteopathy (D.O.). This dual training is the cornerstone of our practice: the physiotherapist's anatomical and rehabilitative precision is combined with the osteopath's integrative approach to the body's functional balance. Within a single consultation, the patient benefits from a structured diagnosis, a targeted therapeutic plan and, when indicated, a complementary osteopathic treatment — without fragmenting the care pathway.

Physiotherapy indications in Courchevel 1850

The clinical profile in 1850 is largely dominated by alpine sports injuries and by the demands of long ski days at altitude. Common indications include:

• Ligament injuries of the knee (ACL, MCL, meniscus) requiring early mobilisation and protected rehabilitation.

• Shoulder injuries: glenohumeral sprains, rotator cuff strains, post-dislocation care.

• Wrist and scaphoid injuries, particularly in snowboarders.

• Cervical and lumbar pain of mechanical origin.

• Post-operative rehabilitation continued during the stay, in coordination with the referring surgeon.

Each session includes clinical examination, manual therapy, active rehabilitation exercises and, when appropriate, electrostimulation or therapeutic taping.

Osteopathy indications in Courchevel 1850

Osteopathic treatment is adapted to functional complaints frequently observed in this setting:

• Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches.

• Thoracic and costal restrictions related to long-haul travel or rigid ski equipment.

• Lumbar and sacroiliac pain of non-traumatic origin.

• Functional digestive disorders, particularly in the first days of the stay.

• Altitude-related sleep disturbances and general fatigue.

Techniques are selected according to the clinical presentation: structural, myofascial, visceral or cranial.

Coordinated care for post-traumatic and post-surgical situations

Courchevel 1850 has a dense network of medical centres, imaging services and orthopaedic consultants. We work in coordination with these structures to ensure continuity of care: rapid intervention after a ski injury, continuation of a rehabilitation protocol initiated abroad, and appropriate medical follow-up throughout the stay. Detailed reports can be provided in English or French for the referring physician.
