Mathilde – Physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor rehabilitation and prenatal care

I graduated with a degree in physical therapy in 2023 after four years of study at HELHa in Belgium, and I currently practice at CARE Charmilles in Geneva. During my training, I gained experience in various areas of physical therapy, including urogynecology, pediatrics, respiratory physical therapy, geriatrics, and sports physical therapy.

I have gradually chosen to focus my practice on pelvic-perineal rehabilitation and women’s health. I completed training in female pelvic-perineal medicine in order to provide specialized care in perineal rehabilitation and to support women with various issues related to the perineum and pelvic floor.

I have also expanded my skills in pregnancy physical therapy, particularly through a training program focused on physical activity for pregnant women. Prenatal physical therapy allows me to tailor care to the specific needs of pregnant women and to the various changes they experience during this time. My training in the management of female sexual dysfunction complements this approach to women’s health.

At the same time, my training in dry needling complements my general physical therapy practice. At CARE Charmilles, I offer dry needling treatments in Geneva when this technique is appropriate and tailored to the patient's needs.

Before becoming a physical therapist, I earned a state-certified nursing degree in 2019. That initial career path in the healthcare field now serves as complementary experience that enriches my holistic approach to patient care.

I place particular importance on listening to and understanding each patient in order to provide personalized care. I take into account not only physical needs but also each person’s unique circumstances and goals, so that I can tailor the treatment as effectively as possible.

When providing perineal rehabilitation in Geneva, pelvic-perineal rehabilitation, or prenatal physical therapy, I take special care to foster an atmosphere of trust and empathy. This relationship is essential for addressing—with sensitivity—issues that can sometimes be intimate, and for offering support tailored to each woman’s needs.

My training in dry needling also allows me to supplement my physical therapy treatments when this technique is appropriate and tailored to the patient’s needs.

My early career as a nurse and my various clinical experiences also allow me to maintain a holistic view of health and patient care.
