Read the testimony of Frédéric Cancel, osteopath and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physician, on the integration of the Allyane therapy in his practice. Recently trained, he reflects on his discovery of Allyane, the importance of motor inhibitions in practice and the contribution of the method to his patients.
How did you discover the Allyane method?
I first learned about the Allyane method two and a half years ago at a conference organized at Club Center from Lyon. There was indeed an Allyane stand among the other exhibitors, and it caught my eye!
So I left with some documentation, thinking I should look into this method someday, as it seemed interesting. It wasn't immediately available, so it took me a while to learn it, but I'm very glad I did!
I did some research online and thought I'd do the introductory course and see how it went from there. In the end, I completed the entire course in one go!
Why did you feel concerned by the Allyane method and motor inhibitions?
Through my practice in the office. Indeed, in the time I have been practicing, I see chronic patients for whom we are sometimes a little at the end of the line, and we have the impression of maintaining them without really improving them.
So we needed to find the existing resources, and I felt that Allyane could be one of them. Learning new things is always interesting, and taking up a new activity is energizing.
How did the integration of the Allyane method go with your patients?
The integration wasn't as difficult as I expected. At first, I wondered where I could find my patients, but in fact, I see them every day. I've noticed that many of them have motor inhibitions.
It was easy to introduce the method in the practice, especially with patients at the end of their treatment cycle, who hadn't seen any progress for years and suffered from chronic problems. These patients are therefore fully open to trying a new therapy, even if it's slightly more expensive than others and not covered by insurance. The long-standing nature of their condition and the discomfort associated with it mean they no longer hesitate.
What is the contribution of the Allyane method to your daily practice?
The improvement in the patients' condition. On the first ones I treated, if I did not improve them all 100%, I have the impression that all of them obtained a more or less significant benefit, especially in terms of mobility and strength recovery.
It is not necessarily obvious for painful conditions, but from the moment we manage to restore strength and mobility, even if the movement remains a little painful, patients are already happy to be able to do it again, even if it is not totally painless.
It's a great source of satisfaction for them, as well as for me!
Would you recommend that your colleagues train in the Allyane method?
I think they would greatly benefit from looking into it. It provides a new perspective on the treatment of traumatic, orthopedic, and even neurological pathologies.
A new horizon is opening up, I think there are lots of things to discover!
