Arnaud Ducret - Alegria Medical Centre

« Regardless of your age or physical condition, staying active is essential »

Arnaud Ducret is the podiatrist for athletes.
Former podiatrist to the Racing 92 rugby team and the D1 men’s and women’s handball teams, he remains, in addition to his consultations in France and at Alegria, the podiatrist to the French golf federation.

What he likes best about his job is being able to provide an effective therapeutic solution to the various problems of posture, and joint or muscle pain. He treats both children and adults, sportsmen and women alike. Practising podiatry at Alegria Medical Centre enables him to work as part of a multidisciplinary team, which is ideal for patient care when everything is on site.

He often advises his patients to stay active, whatever their age. He follows this advice to the letter, regularly practising surfing and squash.
