Mr Jean-Marie Legé, my osteopath […] with great experience of elite athletes and artists […]

He works closely with Estelle Moltenis, a licensed physiotherapist who specialises in supporting professional athletes and singers (her profile on calyp.fr).

Manipulating a joint is not the same as cracking it

[…] a manipulation is a change in the axis of one part of the joint, and it is only rarely accompanied by a crack. […] The after-effects of treatment are far more stable when there has been no cracking, but a true manipulation. […]

Jean-Marie Legé, in Adeline Toniutti’s Anatomie du Chant (Marabout, 2024), p. 178 Translated from the French.

[…] he is very careful with his movements, he doesn’t hurt you at all and he is very effective. […]

Julia, October 2026 Translated from the French.

In Anatomie du Chant (The Anatomy of Singing), he also explains the psoas, interlocked with the diaphragm, the role of the obliques and the rush of blood during exertion.
