Rather sporty and keen to get out and about in nature, I received a shock a few months ago when I learned that my left knee was very tired, with early osteoarthritis and a torn meniscus. Doctor Echeverri took me in hand, in a considerate and reassuring tone, not seeking to impose surgery at any cost.

He simply sent me to his Dr.E. physiotherapy center for around twenty sessions spread over 10 weeks. The team of physiotherapists there took good care of me, being professional, charming and encouraging. After just a few weeks, I was happy to see that the pain diminished, and today I’m dancing again, on the dance floor, the sand, the water, the rocks, and soon on freshly fallen snow.

Deciding to climb Kilimanjaro to celebrate 10 years of collaboration with my partner was quite a challenge, especially as at the time my right knee was unable to descend more than 300 m without pain… So I had six months to recover! Dr.E.’s team showed that my knee had a 25% deficit in strength compared to my left knee. 

After four months of intensive twice-weekly strengthening, my muscular balance was restored, and the 3000m descent after reaching the summit was a pleasure!
