French Physiotherapists to Conduct Preventive Health Assessments Starting October
Starting October 2026, French physiotherapists will be authorized to conduct preventive health assessments as part of the 'Mon Bilan Prévention' initiative. This program, launched in 2024, offers free health evaluations at key life stages to identify potential health risks and promote healthy behaviors. The assessments, which last 30 to 45 minutes, are designed to address issues such as mental health in young adults and chronic disease risks in older populations. The inclusion of physiotherapists aims to expand the program's reach and effectiveness, with over 612,000 assessments already conducted by other healthcare professionals.
