Sophie Chavannes
Sophie has been a physical therapist since 2015. In recent years, in addition to the treatment of general musculoskeletal complaints, she has further developed and particularly focused on the treatment of persistent pain complaints, psychosomatic complaints, anxiety and tension complaints and complaints of the pelvic floor (such as, for example, incontinence complaints or pregnancy-related complaints). For this she has followed several courses and trainings.
Her goal in treatment is to discover, together with patients, which factors influence the onset, persistence or recurrence of symptoms and to offer help in influencing these factors in order to promote recovery and restoring contact with one’s own body so that body signals can again be more easily noticed.
She is also currently training to become a haptotherapist. With haptonomy she focuses more on the story behind the origin of the complaint. Physical complaints are often unconsciously an expression of what is going on in the psyche. Awareness of this can make an important contribution to recovery.
