In physical therapy, we often talk about muscles, joints, nerves, loads, and mobility. This technical, precise language is essential among professionals. But for the person in front of us, this language can quickly become abstract, intimidating, or disconnected from what they actually feel in their body.

This is where imagination comes into play.

Using images, metaphors, and concrete comparisons in physical therapy is not simply a tool for popularization. It is a real bridge between the patient's physical experience, their cognitive understanding, and their ability to actively engage in the healing process.

Understanding for better healing

You are in pain.
In your back, knee, shoulder, or elsewhere.
The most frustrating thing is not just the pain... but not really understanding why it's there or how to get rid of it.

That's why, in my practice, I use images, metaphors, and imagination a lot. Because understanding what's going on in your body changes everything.

Talking about a back that is “overly sensitive” rather than ‘fragile’ or “damaged” radically changes the person's perception of their body. The body is no longer broken, it is protective. This vivid nuance can reduce fear of movement, encourage a return to activity, and reduce hypervigilance.

When a patient understands their problem, they move from a passive state (“my body is failing me”) to an active state (“I understand what is happening and what I can do”). Images facilitate this transition.

Physiotherapy that involves you

Every person is different. Your history, your daily life, your fears, and your goals are just as important as your diagnosis.

Using images helps create a common language that is clear and accessible. You know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how each step brings you closer to your goal—whether it's getting back into sports, working without pain, or simply moving with more freedom.

In this space between the body, the brain, and the imagination, physical therapy becomes more than just a treatment.

Healing is not just about making pain go away.

• It's about regaining confidence in your body.

• It's about understanding your limits without fearing them.

• It's about feeling that you have concrete tools to move forward.

You deserve clear explanations and human support

If you are looking for a physical therapist who:

• That takes the time to explain,

• That simplifies without minimizing,

• That helps you understand your body rather than fear it,

• Then my approach would suit you.
