Physiotherapist / Masseur-Kinésithérapeute

With the snow slowly arriving in Les Gets, just a not to all those physios, either who have jobs with British companies, working in France or who are intending to work on their own this winter. Remember, you will be working illegally, you are not covered by your CSP insurance to work in Europe(unless you [...]

Finally, the pistes are closed in Les Gets and Morzine, if you are still keen, Avoriaz is open another week. Thanks to all the clients this year, hope I have been of help and to those reading my blogs, sorry if I moan sometimes, its easier on the blog. Hope to see some of you [...]

Just remember, when you are skiing, don’t put your mobile phone in your pockets located over your ribs, I can’t tell you how many cracked rib people I have seen over the years as they fell forwards onto their phones!  Or any bulky wallets, camera’s etc I guess as all can injure you on impact, [...]

Following on from my wee tip on making sure you have holiday insurance, I recently heard it is over 1000€ for a helicopter, so think about that when you are economising. Having been woring for nearly 5 years here in a “station de ski” and after having spent nearly 13 years specialising in sports injuries, [...]

Recently, I have heard as happens every year, there are a number of people claiming to be physios, working in the area providing massages and more scarily physio treatments.  Some facts for your to know, firstly, you should always, as I have previously explained in my pages on the legal bits, ask if your physio [...]

Again more snow in Les Gets, more than some of the higher resorts now, (guess that will be global warming too). It never fails to amaze me how, every year I visit clients who have not taken out any holiday insurance when coming on a ski holiday!  Its not always young skint students who don’t [...]

Once again it is snowing in Les Gets and within school holidays, sun is due tomorrow.  I am reliably informed that there is over 2m of snow on the piste now, so should be enough thankyou until the end of the season. However, with all this snow and the “flat light”, i.e. where you can’t [...]

For all those getting excited about coming to Les Gets, Morzine and St Jean d’Aulpes for their February holidays, this is for you.  We hava just had another 50cm of new snow, more forecast this week.  Remember, firstly, you need to keep your ski boots tight, not so tight they cut the circulation though, I [...]

Recently, I have seen a few injuries, varying from shoulder injuries to back strains.  One thing, if you injur yourself, seek help from a physio or qualified person earlier, rather than later, as often things can be calmed down or fixed more easily, the earlier we see them. On a ski holiday lasting one week, [...]

Just another thing to think about if you are told you have a complete rupture to your cruciate, you may well have, but the current research says that without an MRI test it is never 100% sure that you have a complete tear or partial.  There was some research a few years ago which, in [...]
