The therapeutic team at the Clinique de Montchoisi consists of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, neuropsychologists and an osteopath.
Sometimes also referred to as «physical therapy», physiotherapy aims to improve or restore the body's function and ability to move through specific training and the use of non-invasive treatments (e.g. ultrasound, massage, heat packs).
The aim of occupational therapy is to reduce impairments and their consequences (disability) in order to improve or maintain maximum independence in the activities of daily life: basic, domestic, leisure or professional.
Neuropsychology is a discipline that studies the functional relationships between the brain, cognition (processes allowing the acquisition/implementation of knowledge and know-how), and behaviour. It is practised in the fields of scientific research, clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation therapy.

The treatment provided by speech therapy concerns :
Affiliated with the Clinique Valmont, a leading rehabilitation establishment renowned for its unparalleled therapeutic efficiency, the neuropsychologists and speech therapists also offer consultations at the Montchoisi physical and cognitive therapy centre.
Osteopathy is aimed at patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly, and also offers specialised treatment for pregnant women, with both a structural and functional approach.
After a structured exploration of the body and guided by the patient's needs, the osteopath treats connective tissue lesions through joint, spinal, visceral and cranial manipulations, in order to restore the balance of the environment and prevent the appearance of future injuries.
When this tissue is in pain, its circulatory state is slowed down and its mechanical qualities are altered. This can be observed by changes in density and sensitivity, which the osteopath looks for during his examination. These so-called structural lesions are reversible and must be treated so that the tissue regains its optimal quality and for the well-being of the patient.
