Laurent Boursier's Journey

Laurent starts by thanking his mentors, Bastien Leroux and Benjamin Dalla Costa, who have helped him evolve in his professional field. A trained physiotherapist and a posturologist by conviction, Laurent discovered neurology while seeking solutions to his patients' recurring problems.

The Discovery of Neurology

The Assessment and Treatment Sessions

From the first session, Laurent conducts an assessment that takes him about 20 minutes. He combines his knowledge in posturology to quickly guide his patients toward the appropriate treatment. This establishes a relationship of trust right from the start.

The Role of Communication

It is essential for Laurent to inform his patients about the methods he will use. This helps them feel involved and motivated, making the therapeutic process more effective.
