About me

Bruno FERDINAND
Osteopath DO – Acupuncturist
Over 35 years of experience in osteopathy and 25 years in acupuncture

My professional background

Trained as a massage therapist and physiotherapist, having graduated in 1983, I continued my professional journey by training in osteopathy at the AT Still Academy College in Lyon, where I obtained my Osteopath DO diploma in 1990.

I have been practicing osteopathy since 1990.

Passionate about complementary approaches, I then pursued training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, notably with the FNMTC and the CFMTC in Aix-en-Provence, before obtaining my diploma as an acupuncturist in 2001.

These two disciplines have since become complementary in my practice.

Why osteopathy?

My interest in osteopathy stems from a personal experience.

In June 1984, after an accident that caused debilitating sciatica, I myself was treated with osteopathy. The results obtained convinced me of the value of this approach and led me, in September 1984, to begin my osteopathic studies in Lyon.

After six years of study, I obtained my Osteopath DO diploma in 1990.

Osteopathy and Chinese Medicine

Throughout my practice, I wanted to enrich my therapeutic approach. I therefore turned to Traditional Chinese Medicine, which allowed me to develop a complementary vision of patient care.

I obtained my diploma as an acupuncturist in Traditional Chinese Medicine in June 2001.

Since then, I have combined my experience in osteopathy and acupuncture in my practice when appropriate.

My move to Saint-Martin

After 27 years of freelance work in the Centre-West of France, I decided to put my professional experience at the service of the inhabitants of Saint-Martin.

I opened my practice in Saint-Martin on January 2, 2011.

Since setting up my practice, I have continued my training in order to perfect my techniques and enrich my knowledge in osteopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

An experience at the service of my patients

Since my beginnings in osteopathy in 1990 and in acupuncture in 2001, I have accompanied many patients with a personalized approach, based on listening, experience and the complementarity of these two disciplines.

Even today, I continue to practice with the same motivation: to put my knowledge and experience at the service of my patients.
