Pierre Barillec, Physical Therapist & Osteopath in Paris 7th
Trained in dry needling and manual trigger point therapy.
A Background in Physical Therapy and Osteopathy Focused on Manual Therapy
Pierre Barillec practices as a physical therapist and osteopath (French national provider ID, RPPS 10005897110) at 10 rue de Sèvres, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, a short walk from the Sèvres-Babylone metro station. This dual training combines manual osteopathic approaches with physical therapy techniques. His practice has focused on chronic muscle pain and myofascial tension, with a specialization in Dry Needling (trigger point dry needling).
Note for visitors: in France, "osteopath" (ostéopathe) refers to a manual therapy specialist — not a physician, unlike the U.S. "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" (D.O.) credential. Pierre Barillec is a licensed physical therapist (the closest U.S. equivalent) who also holds French osteopathy training.
A Muscle- and Nervous-System-Focused Approach
Rather than treating only the localized symptom, the approach focuses on identifying trigger points — active or latent — that sustain pain, sometimes at a distance from where it's actually felt. This systematic search for chains of tension allows treatment to be tailored to each patient, whether it's desk-related neck pain, a sports tendinopathy, or recurring low back pain.
A Varied Patient Base
The practice sees a diverse range of patients: professionals with screen-work-related tension, amateur and competitive athletes in rehabilitation or maintenance — including professional footballers and principal dancers used to very high physical demands — and people under heavy mental workload (executives, high-responsibility roles) who commonly experience neck tension and headaches. English-speaking visitors and tourists are welcome; no referral or French health insurance is required to book.
