Osteopath Paris 16 Victor Hugo Clinic

Charbel Jean Kortbawi, osteopath in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, practises at the Victor Hugo Clinic. With more than 16 years of experience, he cares for patients suffering from acute, chronic or activity-related pain.

Trained at several renowned French universities, his practice is grounded in current scientific evidence and validated clinical recommendations. His specialisation in movement neuroscience, pain management and sports health allows him to offer targeted, effective and personalised care.

The aim of treatment is to relieve pain, improve mobility and restore function, in order to optimise each patient's quality of life — whether sedentary or athletic.

Sports Osteopathy in Paris 16

As an osteopath specialising in sports in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, I offer care adapted to athletes of all levels, combining an approach grounded in current scientific evidence with the principles of biomechanics and neurophysiology of movement.

Sporting activity exposes the body to significant mechanical stress that can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, joint dysfunctions and postural imbalances.

Every treatment begins with a full clinical assessment including postural evaluation, functional analysis of the sports gesture, and exploration of the interactions between the different body systems (musculoskeletal, neurological, fascial).

Thanks to my dual expertise in osteopathy and movement neuroscience, I provide precise and individualised care, aimed at optimising performance, preventing recurrence and improving the body's adaptability to exertion.

Chronic Pain Management in Paris

As an osteopath specialising in chronic pain management, I treat patients suffering from pain persisting for more than three months. This pain, often complex and multifactorial, may affect different parts of the body such as the lower back (chronic low back pain) and the neck (neck pain), or manifest as chronic headaches (tension headaches and migraines) or diffuse pain (fibromyalgia), without a clearly identified organic cause.

Osteopathy, alongside medical treatment, uses manual techniques aimed at restoring tissue mobility, improving posture and rebalancing muscular, joint and fascial tension.

Specialising in therapeutic patient education, I also integrate an educational dimension into the management of chronic pain.

Osteopathy for Pregnant Women in Paris 16

Specialising in the care of pregnant women in Paris, I draw on my experience as a former osteopath at the maternity unit of the American Hospital of Paris to offer safe, personalised support throughout each stage of pregnancy.

During pregnancy, osteopathy helps relieve common functional musculoskeletal pain such as lower back pain, sciatica, pelvic pain or thoracic tension.

Postpartum, osteopathic treatment aims to rebalance structures disturbed by childbirth, ease residual pain (coccyx, perineum, back), and support lasting physical recovery.
