The physiotherapy practice, Physio Sport Acacias, has recently expanded the range of services it offers clients by taking on a registered massage therapist at its practice in Les Acacias.
Operating out of the popular fitness center, The Fitness by California Acacias, the new massage therapist, Katrin Balmain-Jeanrenaud, will offer a series of massage therapies that will complement the physiotherapy services already offered by practice founder, Alexis Romanens, and his colleague, Sebastien Weil.
Katrin told knowitall.ch, “We are passionate about addressing our patient’s fitness needs and giving all the support we can for them to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. The huge benefit of our practice is that we are based at the gym, so we have access to state-of-the-art equipment whenever necessary. Our approach is highly supportive and personalized, and we all speak English.”
Katrin offers many different kinds of massage, each adapted to the specific needs of her clients. Her sports massages are designed to help clients "be prepared", thereby increasing their performance levels and reducing their risk of injury. They will also help clients recuperate by eliminating toxins and metabolic waste, and relieving cramps and sore muscles.
Her relaxation and wellbeing massages provide overall body and mind wellness, whilst her therapeutic massages are perfect for de-stressing, increasing joint mobility and muscle suppleness, and avoiding or treating musculoskeletal disorders.
She also provides manual lymphatic drainage for those clients hoping to gain relief from chronic aches and pains, or who need to detoxify, lose weight, or simply relax.
Physiotherapy services provided by Alexis and Sebastien include rehabilitation, joint mobilization, osteopathic techniques, muscle strengthening and training.
Katrin concluded, “We are a highly flexible practice so, if needs be, we can make our services available at sports events, tournaments and local businesses. Massage therapy is usually reimbursed by complementary health insurances recognized by ASCA/RME without a prescription, and physiotherapy is reimbursed by most health insurance schemes with a prescription from your doctor.”
Indeed one client told us, "I have been a client of Katrin's for several months. The massages are wonderful, and if you have the complementary insurance then you can be reimbursed for almost all the amount."
