Marcella Chalhoub, orthoptist

Her background

Qualified as an orthoptist in 1997 at Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris VI).

Over the course of her practice, first with patients with neurological conditions and then with patients without any pathology, she observed the links between restricted eye movements and tension in the body.

These observations gave rise to the Marchal Method, a global approach that she now practises in Paris and Sceaux.

Who is the method for?

Everyone, at any age. It is particularly suited to growing children, athletes and musicians.

Why three sessions?

The first two sessions work on the muscle chains; the third consolidates the changes so they last.

Is it compatible with other treatments?

Yes. The method complements osteopathy, dental occlusion therapy and, in some cases, proprioceptive insoles. It does not replace medical advice.

Is the session painful?

No. The method involves no contact and no equipment: you simply follow a target with your eyes, at your own pace.
