Christophe Fertig, Physical Therapist (physiothérapeute)

Since earning my physiotherapy degree in 2003 in Lausanne, Switzerland, I have pursued extensive postgraduate training across a wide range of manual therapy approaches—including muscular and joint-based techniques, neurodynamics, and vascular and visceral therapies—along with additional complementary areas of study. In 2018, during a sports-focused manual therapy course, I had the opportunity to test the clinical effectiveness of counterstrain techniques. In short, this framework—and especially the contemporary FCS approach—gave me a clearer understanding of the underlying “why” behind both my clinical successes and my limitations. Each new FCS course continues to refine my practice, helping me address previous gaps and deepen my clinical reasoning.
