Après une intervention chirurgicale, le corps traverse une période de récupération qui varie selon le type d’opération, son importance et chaque personne.
Gonflement, œdème, sensation de tension, inconfort, diminution temporaire de la mobilité ou gêne au niveau d’une cicatrice peuvent notamment être présents au cours des semaines qui suivent l’intervention.
En complément du suivi médical et lorsque la situation le permet, certains soins manuels peuvent être envisagés pour accompagner cette période post-opératoire.
À La Clinique Naturelle à Genève, nous proposons notamment des accompagnements en drainage lymphatique et massage des cicatrices, adaptés à la situation de chaque personne et aux recommandations de l’équipe médicale qui assure son suivi.
Our Approach at Clinique Naturelle
Every situation is different. Two people facing a similar situation may experience it very differently and may not have the same needs.
That is why we always prioritize personalized care. Depending on your situation, one or more complementary therapies may be recommended, and, when appropriate, several therapists may work together to provide you with a comprehensive care plan, always in conjunction with conventional medicine.

Are the sessions covered by supplemental insurance?
Some supplemental insurance plans may cover part of the cost of sessions. However, coverage depends on your policy, the type of therapy you receive, and the therapist you choose.
Before your first appointment, we recommend that you contact your insurance provider directly and provide them with the following information:
- the therapist's name;
- the therapy in question.
The therapists at La Clinique Naturelle hold professional accreditations that vary depending on their specialty, including accreditation fromASCA and/or RME. However, these accreditations do not automatically guarantee reimbursement for sessions: only your insurance provider can confirm the exact terms of your coverage.
