Movement is life
This is one of the great principles of Andrew Taylor Still,
founder of the osteopathic approach.
What does it mean?
As long as the mechanics of the body are free and every part of the body is provided with movement of good amplitude and quality, then blood, lymph and nerve information can flow freely and do their work.
Questions about physiotherapy?
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a medical discipline based on movement. It aims to reduce pain, increase joint range of motion and restore the patient’s balance when needed.
It allows a health care professional to take charge of the patient and listen to his or her expectations and do the maximum with the means available to achieve the objectives.
One of the main reasons that leads the patient to consult a physiotherapist is pain.
The Cabinet de Physiothérapie Cornavin favours the manual approach and exercises to improve the physical condition of patients in the long term.
Who is physiotherapy for?
Physiotherapy is for anyone with physical problems, from infants to the elderly.
In general, 9 sessions are initially prescribed. They are reimbursed on a 30-minute basis per session. LaMal reimburses up to 36 sessions per year in case of chronic pathology, and without limit following an accident.
What are the benefits of physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps rebalance the different energies in the body that can be blocked due to a mechanical or functional problem causing pain and loss of mobility.
Our physiotherapists will help reduce pain, improve the body’s daily functions: mobility, flexibility, muscular strength, stability, but also treat headaches, improve respiratory functions or the lymphatic system by draining excess fluid from the body.
How does the first appointment with my physiotherapist work?
It is important to come with a medical prescription if you have one and any document that will help refine the diagnosis: blood tests, x-rays, ultrasounds, etc.
In general, plan to wear comfortable clothing such as sportswear during your sessions.
This first assessment appointment lasts 30 minutes.
What is the average duration of a physiotherapy session?
The average duration of a physiotherapy session is 30 minutes.
However, sessions of 45 minutes or one hour may be offered depending on the patient’s condition and pathology.

Will I be reimbursed by my health insurance for my physiotherapy treatment?
This prescription can be issued by your general practitioner or any specialist (neurologist, cardiologist, orthopaedist, …).
In general, 9 sessions are initially prescribed. They are reimbursed on a 30 minute basis per session. Lamal reimburses up to 36 sessions per year in the event of chronic pathology, and without limit in the event of hospitalisation following an accident.
