About Margaux
Growing up in the French Alps, in an area where sport is a big part of the community, Margaux was fortunate to experience a wide range of activities from a young age, including swimming, running, dancing, and especially skiing. Along the way, she experienced a few injuries of her own, and at 14, following a skiing injury, was introduced to osteopathy by a family friend who helped her recover.
That experience sparked her curiosity about osteopathy, offering an early insight into how the body works, and how education, movement, and the right support can help people maintain their health and prevent future injuries. Margaux went on to train at the European School of Osteopathy, and has recently relocated to Edinburgh, a city that has always fascinated her, excited to continue her osteopathic journey here.

Approach to Care
A fundamental principle of osteopathy is that "the body is a unit" - the idea that different parts of the body are interconnected, and that a change or restriction in one area can influence another. Margaux uses this principle daily, taking the time to understand the bigger picture and working with patients towards their individual health goals.
Her aim is to create a welcoming environment where patients feel understood and involved in their own care. Whether you're recovering from an injury or experiencing ongoing discomfort, Margaux is here to support you in achieving your health goals.

Margaux qualified from the European School of Osteopathy and is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC registration number 11621). She uses a variety of techniques, including soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, spinal and joint manipulation, cranial osteopathy, and visceral manipulation. Margaux is also qualified to treat newborns and infants, and holds further training in kinesiology taping to support recovery from sports-related injuries.
