Read Camille’s story about her experience with Galmeon Therapy following a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that resulted in a flexion deformity.
She explains how Galmeon helped with her knee rehabilitation and her return to physical activity.
How did you hear about Galmeon?
I was introduced to Galmeon Therapy by my physical therapist, Hugo, at the Galmeon Center of Excellence in Lyon. I originally went to see him because of a skiing accident: I tore my left anterior cruciate ligament. So I started physical therapy sessions, and Hugo quickly suggested Galmeon to me after myfourth physical therapy session.
How did you find this session?
I really understood how it worked—it was all about visualizing the healthy leg and then applying that to the affected leg. I tried doing it a little bit at home, too, and I can see that a lot of it comes from the brain.
What were the results?
I saw the results right after the session. Even during the session, I could feel the difference during each test phase when I tried my right leg and then my left leg. We tried doing some exercises after the session, and I immediately saw the difference. The Galmeon treatment helped unlock something for my subsequent physical therapy sessions. However, I had surgery a week later, so I got stuck again; therefore, I think we’ll do more Galmeon sessions to unlock that.
Would you recommend this method to other patients?
Yes, I’ve already recommended her, since quite a few of my coworkers have torn their anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) in recent months. They’ve had surgery and are still limping a little, so I recommended her to them, and I think they’re going to make an appointment.
