Ms Matilda Emmenegger 

Matilda Emmenegger is a Masseuse Médicale, who graduated from the Biel School of Health Care after completing a 3-year full-time training course leading to a Brevet Fédéral.

The Masseuse Médicale is a healthcare professional specializing in the relief of various pathologies. Her approach is based on a holistic understanding of the human body, using manual techniques to relieve pain and improve mobility.

She works in a medical setting, either directly or on the basis of a diagnosis made by a doctor and/or physiotherapist.

Recognized by ASCA and RME, her treatments are covered by most complementary health insurance schemes.

However, it is the patient's responsibility to find out what their complementary health insurance covers.

Matilda Emmenegger works in a multi-disciplinary practice (physiotherapy/osteopathy/massage medicine), which enables close collaboration between the various healthcare professionals, thus promoting holistic care for our patients.
