Hugo GratpancheOsteopath in Nice
Pain is not something you have to live with. Osteopathy helps identify the source of your tension and treats the body as a whole.
Rather than simply masking your symptoms, we look together for the real source of your pain. Every body has its own history, and my aim is to give you deep, lasting relief by treating the cause.
Whether it is sudden acute pain or chronic discomfort you have lived with for months, osteopathy offers gentle ways to reduce physical tension and restore your day-to-day comfort.
Postural imbalances caused by modern life can restrict your movement. My role is to restore mobility in your joints and correct your posture so you can move smoothly and without apprehension.
You do not need to wait until it hurts. Regular preventive sessions help your body cope with daily stress, improve muscle recovery and prevent future problems.
Hugo, your osteopath in Nice
Every patient is different. That is why Hugo tailors every session to your history, your lifestyle and your needs.
Hugo is a qualified osteopath, driven by the wish to guide his patients towards lasting balance using gentle, effective techniques that respect the body.

4 Rue Chateauneuf, Centre Le Cocon, 06000 Nice
The practice welcomes you in a calm, professional setting.
If getting to the practice is difficult, Hugo comes to you — in Nice and the neighbouring towns of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, Cagnes-sur-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer. The home visit is the same session as at the practice: assessment, manual treatment and advice, €80 to €100 depending on the town.
It is usually the best option for acute back pain, reduced mobility, recovery after surgery, post-natal care, or a baby you would rather not take out. Home visits are arranged by phone: call 07 61 64 05 01.

Payment by card, cash or cheque. You receive an invoice at the end of the session: most private health insurers cover all or part of osteopathy consultations.
Answers to the questions most patients have before their first session.
No. Osteopathy is a direct-access profession in France: you can book without going through your GP and without a referral.
Osteopathy sessions are not covered by the French state health system (Assurance Maladie). However, the vast majority of private health insurers reimburse all or part of the cost, usually as an annual allowance — French top-up policies (mutuelles) as well as most international and expat health plans.
You receive an invoice at the end of the consultation: simply send it to your insurer.
Around one hour. That covers the discussion about why you came, the osteopathic assessment, the manual treatment and personalised advice.
It depends entirely on your condition and your history. Many acute problems resolve in one to three sessions. Hugo gives you an estimate after the assessment, during the first consultation.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Bring any recent imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT scan) and a list of any medication you are taking.
Yes. Hugo treats pregnant women at every stage of pregnancy as well as post-partum, and cares for babies from their first weeks using gentle, appropriate techniques.

Yes. Just say so when you book, or at the start of the session, and the consultation will be held in English. You do not need to speak French to book or to be treated, which matters for the English-speaking residents, expats and visitors who make up a large part of the Nice area.
