She worked as a physiotherapist at Foch hospital (Suresnes) and at the Institut Médical Sport et Santé du stade Jean Bouin (IMSS x Stade Français) as an osteopath before setting up a private practice where she provides integrative osteopathy and vagus nerve stimulation treatments, as well as preventive gymnastics (gym ball, Stott Pilates® and Fitvibe®).
Very interested in "health prevention" in the broad sense, she first trained in preventive gymnastics on a Klein® ball with André Petit at the Mail 14® back school in La Rochelle and in Stott Pilates® gymnastics.
Trained in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in 2011 (Kiné Ouest Prévention with Christian Meignan), she also practices within companies.
His training in integrative osteopathy of the vagus nerve with Pascal Grolaux and in aerospace physiology with Prof. Marotte (Université René Descartes, Paris V) completed his previous knowledge in central neurology and allowed him to create a new "health prevention" model called the 5.5® method.
She participated in the Academy of Osteopathy conference in November 2022,
entitled: “Osteopathy and long covid”.
She co-authored the chapter titled "Fascia and the Muscle-Fascia Complex" in the
the book MUSCLES ET FASCIAS, published by SAURAMPS medica, with Drs. Barizien and Montigny from the Foch hospital in Suresnes (92).
Who created the 5.5® method?
At the end of my sessions, I usually show my patients exercises: a sort of "daily routine" made up of gentle and simple movements to practice at home or at their workplace.
These exercises are guided using a video and aim to consolidate the results obtained after each treatment session and to allow the patient to become independent in their daily care at home or at work (prevention of MSDs).
My latest studies on the physiology of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) led me to the practice of non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve by electro-stimulation and by the method of guided breathing according to the respiratory frequency of the physiological state of cardiac coherence, and it is obvious that I was able to recommend it to my patients in order to improve their vagal tone, and thus their state of health.
The problem that arose was this: how to dedicate 5 minutes to a "daily routine" when it was already difficult for them to find 5 minutes of their time to do breathing exercises necessary for their health (not to mention the recommended 10,000 steps).
I had to find a "two in one" formula based on current scientific knowledge:
-
The practice of guided breathing according to the physiological state of cardiac coherence has proven its effects in the context of health and there are no contraindications to its practice, nor side effects.
-
Only slow and gentle movements , respecting the state of "cardiac coherence" allow to combine a beneficial effect on the vagal tone (by increasing the variability of the heart rate) if the breathing is adapted to the movements and is itself slow (examples: Tai Chi, Qi Gong, yoga, etc.)
-
Afghan walking has itself demonstrated its effectiveness on vagal tone because it respects a favorable breathing rhythm.
Yet there was no movement associated with the health-optimal rhythm of 6 cycles per second, 5 seconds of inspiration followed by 5 seconds of expiration, guided by auditory or visual feedback.
I therefore created the 5.5® method to allow my patients and everyone else to practice at home or at their workplace, movements guided using a video or hologram (for business) with a health benefit that is both dual and quantifiable (measurement of heart rate variability: HRV).
