Mrs Elise Pêtre

Post-operative rehabilitation · Low back pain · Neck pain · Sports rehabilitation

Physiotherapist graduated from the Parnasse Institute in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert in 2022, I then practised for four years in various professional environments: private practice, medical centre, health centre and home visits. These experiences have allowed me to develop a versatile practice and support patients with varied profiles and needs.

Alongside this professional experience, I chose to specialise in sports physiotherapy. I therefore completed the inter-university certificate in sports physiotherapy at UCLouvain and ULiège, which I obtained in June 2026.

I also work with a Division 1 rugby team in Waterloo (ASUB), an experience that enriches my practice in the musculoskeletal and sports field.

I place great importance on listening to and understanding each patient, in order to offer personalised, active care tailored to their goals. My approach is based on a relationship of trust and clear communication, with the objective of making each patient an active participant in their rehabilitation.

Whether dealing with pain, an injury, post-operative rehabilitation or a return to physical activity, I support you with care and precision to help you gradually regain mobility, confidence and independence.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know to prepare for your visit to the centre and approach your treatment with complete peace of mind.

No, a medical prescription is not required to see a doctor, regardless of the speciality. Only physiotherapy sessions require a prescription in order to be reimbursed by your health insurance.

Reimbursement depends on the fee-agreement status of the practitioner consulted, as some have opted out of the national health insurance scheme. The fee-agreement status of each practitioner is indicated when booking the appointment.

This is the strength of our multidisciplinary approach. Our surgeons, physicians, physiotherapists and osteopaths all share the same secure medical record. This allows us to design your treatment plan together and monitor your progress in real time.

The simplest way is to use our online direct booking modules (available via Rosa on our Contact page). There, you can choose your practitioner and time slot in just a few clicks. For any urgent matters, our reception desk remains reachable by email at contact@orthochatelain.com.
