Read the testimonial from Corentin Lagrue, a MKDE and Galmeon practitioner in Switzerland. He shares his professional journey, the reasons that led him to train in Galmeon Therapy, and how it has enriched his patient care.
Why did you decide to become a physical therapist?
First and foremost, it’s about interacting with people—being around different people every day, dealing with different situations and challenges, and developing the best possible treatment plan to improve these individuals’ daily lives and athletic performance.
What is your professional background?
I started out at a private clinic, where I worked for two and a half years; it had an inpatient unit, so I saw quite a few patients in the immediate postoperative period , following ligament reconstructions and joint replacements. There was also an outpatient clinic, which allowed me to see patients from outside the clinic as well, primarily in orthopedics and traumatology.
Over the past two and a half years, I’ve been able to train in injury prevention and helping athletes return to competition. I’ve also completed training in running and manual therapy.
After those two and a half years, I decided to go into business for myself and open my own practice.
Why did you take the Galmeon Therapy training course?
I’ve always stayed in touch with a Galmeon instructor I met at the CERS in Capbreton, and then patients began to need this method, but there were no trained physical therapists in my area, so I decided to take this training course.
How does Galmeon benefit your practice?
For me, Galmeon is an innovative therapy that is indispensable to my way of working; it allows me to delve even deeper into issues and truly make significant progress in complicated situations.
What is your fondest memory of Galmeon?
I have many fond memories of my neuromotor reprogramming sessions.
The most recent case was last week, involving a 33-year-old patient who had been in a serious motorcycle accident more than a year ago. He came to see me with motor weakness in the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles, and on top of that, he had completely lost sensation.
By the end of the session, he could feel his vastus medialis and vastus lateralis again—among other muscles—and he could feel his quadriceps working once more; he could really feel things, and for him, it was incredible.
