Article R4321-136 of the French Public Health Code

The fact that a masseur-physiotherapist is bound in his professional practice by a contract or statute to an administration, a local authority or any other public or private body in no way detracts from his professional duties and in particular his obligations concerning professional secrecy and the independence of his decisions.

Under no circumstances should a masseur-physiotherapist accept any limitation on his independence in his professional practice from his employer. They must always act, first and foremost, in the interests of people, their safety and public health within the companies or communities in which they practise.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4321-136
Le fait pour le masseur-kinésithérapeute d’être lié dans son exercice professionnel par un contrat ou un statut à une administration, une collectivité ou tout autre organisme public ou privé n’enlève rien à ses devoirs professionnels et en particulier à ses obligations concernant le secret professionnel et l’indépendance de ses décisions.


En aucune circonstance, le masseur-kinésithérapeute ne doit accepter de limitation à son indépendance dans son exercice professionnel de la part de son employeur. Il doit toujours agir, en priorité dans l’intérêt des personnes, de leur sécurité et de la santé publique au sein des entreprises ou des collectivités où il exerce.
