Osteopathy is designed for patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly, and also offers specialised care for pregnant women, taking both a structural and a functional approach.
After a structured and needs-oriented exploration of the body, the osteopath treats connective tissue lesions through joint, vertebral, visceral and cranial manipulations to restore balance to the area and prevent future lesions.
When this tissue is affected, its circulatory condition is slowed down and its mechanical qualities are impaired. This can be seen by changes in density and sensitivity, which the osteopath looks for during his or her examination. The so-called structural lesions are reversible and must be treated to restore the tissue to its optimal quality for the well-being of the patient.
At Clinique de Genolier, occupational therapy is for adults with motor and/or cognitive problems as well as for patients suffering from chronic pain. Occupational therapy sessions can be held in your room, in the occupational therapy office (Nescens building, 1st floor), at home or at work.
The Pilates method or Pilates is a holistic workout, combining breathing and physical exercises. This gentle method allows the body to strengthen deep muscles, with the aim of improving physical strength and flexibility and maintaining a good posture. This method can be enhanced with the use of accessories such as a ball, ring or elastic bands and this is known as Pilates Matwork.
In Pilates, exercises are performed slowly and precisely in unison with breathing. It is important to perform these movements in a controlled manner in order to mobilise deep muscles in the body.
At Clinique de Genolier, small-group Pilates and Pilates Matwork classes have already been organised for Breast Centre patients in order to regain post-operative strength and flexibility by stimulating the whole body.
Group or individual classes will soon be available to all patients.
The dieticians at Clinique de Genolier are responsible for the nutritional monitoring of patients admitted to hospital and for passing on information when they are discharged. On a day-to-day basis, they offer consultations and follow-up to patients in all departments at the clinic, including outpatient oncology and digestive surgery. They also provide outpatient care for eating disorders, obesity, malnutrition, diabetes, digestive diseases or metabolic disorders.
For inpatients, dieticians manage and monitor the meals served, and ensure that appropriate diets or patient-specific restrictions are adhered to.
They also run workshops, particularly for the Supportive Care Centre.
