Article R4321-114 of the French Public Health Code

The masseur-physiotherapist has at his disposal, at his place of practice, suitable facilities and sufficient technical means commensurate with the nature of the procedures he performs. The premises must allow professional secrecy to be respected. In particular, windows, doors and display cases must be blacked out.

The masseur-physiotherapist must ensure compliance with the rules of hygiene and cleanliness. They must not practise their profession in conditions that could compromise the quality of care or the safety of the people they treat. In particular, where necessary, they must ensure that infectious waste is disposed of in accordance with regulatory procedures.

It is the responsibility of the departmental council to check that the conditions required for the exercise of the professional activity by the provisions of the previous paragraphs are met.

In the patient’s home, the masseur-physiotherapist must, as far as possible, have sufficient technical resources. If this is not the case, the masseur-physiotherapist will suggest that the patient continues his or her treatment in the practice or in a suitable facility.
