Dear Kate,

Some info for working in Morzine this winter, unfortunately, the system here is such that it is not possible to come to work seasonally. You have to be registered as I have explained earlier. Imagin if someone wanted to do physio in Britain, the organisations they would have to contact. The massage in France is under the same constraints as the physios historically where the only ones allowed to massage. In short if physios do massage in the ski resorts in France, even via British companies as employees, they are still breaking the law and could be deported!

Hi Gail,

I’m really interested in working out in Morzine winter 2010-2011, and would be grateful for any information you could give me on clinics I could work in and how to start the french registration process.

I adore Morzine, and to be able to work as a physiotherapist out there is my idea of heaven!

Thanking you in anticipation.

Kate

Dear Sara, thanks for your comment, the current organisations to report illegal physios working in France is either the Ordre de Masseurs et Kinésithérapeuts or the Minister de Sante, stating the Department (eg haute savoie) which you are interested in.

Thanks for your information about working legally as a masseur in France. I am currently aware of a few therapist who are working somewhat illegally in France. For the sake of the therapists like yourself, who do take the time and effort to register and get the correct insurance, I would like to report these therapists to the correct authorities for further investigation. Would you be able to give me some contcat details for the people I would need to speak to please?
I have had some bad experiences in the past with these therapists and would like very much to stop it happening to somebody else in the future.

Kind Regards

Sara

Dear Andrea,

I don’t know if there is any official need to speak French to work in France. However, apart from the initial Authorisation de Exercise, obtained from Paris, thereafter, all the contacts for paperwork is done in French, so I think questions might be asked as to how will you work. Working with purely English clients is ok in winter, but will not pay all the charges for the year I think, so some work with French may be necessary.

Hi Gail, was it a requirement of registration in france that you spoke french already?
