What Vilavan Prachansiri offers English speakers in Nice
If you give birth in France you will be prescribed rééducation périnéale, a course of pelvic floor physiotherapy, as a matter of routine rather than as something you have to ask for. Most foreign mothers find this surprising, and then find it hard to arrange with someone they can talk to comfortably. Vilavan Prachansiri, on the Rue de Dijon in Nice, specialises in exactly this: pre and postnatal rehabilitation, pelvic floor and abdominal recovery, and treatment of caesarean scars. She works in English as well as French, which matters in a field where the appointments are physically intimate and being able to say stop in your own language is not a small thing.
Local midwives refer to her, and that shows in the record: women arrive on a sage-femme's recommendation or a friend's, and stay for a full course. What comes up repeatedly is that she adapts the programme to what you actually want to get back to, including running, rather than working through a standard protocol. Her hours are limited and worth checking early, since Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are afternoons only, Wednesday finishes at 16:30, and Friday is closed altogether.
