Pain that lingers, tension, fatigue ? It may be time to give your body back its balance.
These complaints often have several causes at once, rooted in how the body works as a whole.
Who I see
Osteopathy adapted to every age
Every patient is different: treatment is adjusted to your age, your history and the reason you came.
Pregnancy & postnatal
Pregnancy reshapes the body week after week: the pelvis, the diaphragm and the spine all adapt.
- Low back, pelvic and sciatic pain
- Rib tension and restricted breathing
- Reflux, sluggish digestion, heavy legs
- Preparing the pelvis for birth
After the birth, treatment helps the body find its balance again and supports pelvic floor rehabilitation.
Trained in perinatal care and as a breastfeeding facilitator, I also help with latching difficulties.
Babies
Birth is a mechanically demanding passage. Gentle treatment releases tension built up during pregnancy or delivery.
- Colic, reflux, difficult bowel movements
- Torticollis — always turning the head the same way
- Sucking or breastfeeding difficulties
- Restless sleep, unexplained crying
- Plagiocephaly (flat head)
With babies the techniques are exclusively gentle, suited to how fragile a newborn is.
Children & teenagers
Growth brings rapid change to the skeleton and to the way weight is carried.
- Postural problems, support alongside scoliosis care
- Growing pains, falls and knocks
- Recurrent ear and sinus infections
- Follow-up alongside orthodontic treatment
- Headaches and difficulty concentrating
Adults
Sitting still, stress, repetitive movements: the body compensates until pain settles in.
- Low back, neck and mid-back pain
- Headaches, migraines, dizziness
- Functional digestive complaints
- Stress-related tension and poor sleep
- Jaw pain (TMJ) and teeth grinding
Athletes
Whether you train occasionally or seriously, osteopathy supports both performance and prevention.
- Preparation and recovery around competitions
- Preventing injury and correcting imbalances
- Tendon pain, sprains, recurring muscle tightness
- Better mobility and range of movement
Older adults
With the years, mobility narrows and compensations settle in. The aim is to protect comfort and independence.
- Joint stiffness and long-standing pain
- Support alongside osteoarthritis
- Balance and walking difficulties
- Recovery after a fall or an operation
Common reasons to come
Do any of these sound familiar ?
Your body sends warning signs. Learning to read them is already a first step.
Headaches
Migraines, tension headaches, occipital neuralgia, dizziness and referred pain.
Digestive complaints
Bloating, reflux, constipation, sluggish digestion, tension in the diaphragm.
Stress & tension
Tight muscles, clenched jaw, teeth grinding, a feeling of pressure, persistent fatigue.
Poor sleep
Trouble falling asleep, waking at night, unrefreshing sleep, irritability.
After an injury
A fall, a sprain, an accident, surgery, or a scar that stays painful.
Important. Osteopathy never replaces medical advice. If pain is severe, if you have a fever or any unusual symptom, see your doctor or go to A&E.

★★★★★
Je recommande Madame Palie sans hésitation. Je suis venue pour un torticolis très douloureux et j'ai été très bien prise en charge. Elle est très à l'écoute, douce et professionnelle. Elle prend son temps, ne force rien et fait attention à ce que l'on se sente bien.
★★★★★
Je recommande fortement, ostéopathe très à l'écoute de nos ressentis et nous aide à les comprendre. Prend le temps de mettre le patient à l'aise et la discussion est très agréable.

Ravie de ma séance, Mme Palie est très douce et très à l'écoute, elle a pris son temps pour travailler sur mes douleurs et j'ai pu voir de l'amélioration sur mes douleurs de ventre dans les jours qui ont suivi. Je vous la recommande.
My approach
Treating the person, not just the symptom
Shoulder pain can start in the pelvis, in the gut, or in the way you sit at work. That is why I look at the whole body before deciding where to work.
- A full conversation before any hands-on work
- Techniques chosen for your age and your sensitivity
- No sudden manipulation without your agreement
- Practical advice so the session keeps working afterwards
How I work
Your appointment, in four steps
Allow between 45 minutes and an hour. Every session follows the same careful sequence.
1
Case history
Your medical history, past injuries and daily life — the context that explains where the pain comes from.
2
Examination
Mobility tests, palpation and differential assessment, to find what needs treating and rule out anything that should not be treated.
3
Treatment
Hands-on techniques chosen for your situation, working on the musculoskeletal, visceral and cranial systems.
4
Advice
Stretches, workstation set-up, hydration and follow-up — so the benefit lasts.
Skills
The techniques I use
Osteopathy is both a craft and a science: individual judgement built on solid anatomy.
Structural techniques
Short, precise joint manipulation, used only once every contraindication has been ruled out and with your agreement.
Fascial & soft tissue techniques
Indirect, gentle approaches that rebalance the fascia wrapping every structure in the body.
Visceral techniques
Work on the mobility of the organs in the chest, abdomen and pelvis, for everyday functional complaints.
Cranial techniques
Very gentle work on the small movements of the skull — particularly suited to babies and to headaches.

Frequently asked
You may be wondering…
Do I need a referral to see an osteopath ?
No. Osteopathy is a first-contact profession: you can book directly, without seeing your doctor first.
Does treatment hurt ?
No. Techniques are matched to your age and your sensitivity. Some areas may feel tender during treatment, but nothing is done without your agreement.
How many sessions will I need ?
For a recent problem, one to three sessions is usually enough. For prevention, two or three visits a year works well for most people.
Will my insurance cover it ?
Osteopathy is not reimbursed by the French state health system, but most private policies cover it, typically €100 to €300 a year. You are given an invoice at every session.
A question before booking ?
Book online at any time, or call me if you would rather talk it through first.
