Physiotherapy

The physiotherapy department at Clinique de Genolier offers:

AlterG

A device based on differential air pressure technology developed by NASA. This treadmill allows patients to perform gait rehabilitation by reducing body weight by around 80 %, which reduces joint strain, minimises impact and facilitates movement.

An isokinetic device

This device assesses patients’ muscle strength by measuring the state of an isolated joint and muscle groups. It can also be used for rehabilitation and to exercise with optimum safety and performance.

A medical fitness studio

Equipped with modern facilities, this gym is designed for both rehabilitation and prevention. Supervised by our physiotherapists, training in the gym allows our patients to assess their physical condition, protect their musculoskeletal system and thus improve their quality of life.
