Physical Therapist Paris?
4 Replies
Hello, I recently had surgery on my knee and I'm looking for a good physical therapist. I can only seem to find chiropractors and acupuncturist when I look online. What are they called here and does anyone know of a good center that provides true rehabilitation post surgery? Thanks in advance! ;-)

Hi karen-72236, yes while that normally would be the route that I would typically choose to ask for a referral... that's not an option for me right now as I had my surgery in Germany- but live here, so I need to find someone locally.
They are called Kinesiotherapists - most people refer to them just a Kine, ( Keeynay ) usually you would need a referral or prescription from your GP so that you can claim on the mutuelle - May be your best point of call in any case as the GP will have a good idea of who is in your area and their area of expertise. Bon chance !
Just a thought - here is the french spelling which may be helpful ! Kinésithérapie and you may find that some Osteopaths are Kiné's too....
