The Madrid midfielder has been working with renowned Los Angeles osteopath Fabrice Gautier since he was 17 years old. AS is treated by Fabrice Gautier shortly after the player’s last appointment with Aurélien.

One day after his final appointment with Aurélien Tchouameni, who has once again taken advantage of Real Madrid’s visit to Los Angeles, as he did last summer, to prepare with his trusted osteopath, Fabrice Gautier (Paris, 49 years old) receives this newspaper on time at 8:10.

The clinic of this Parisian who fell in love with LA at the age of 18 is less than ten minute’s walk from The Maybourne, Real Madrid’s hub of operations on its first American trip, on South Beverly Drive.

Three framed, autographed jerseys of Rudy Gobert, Carmelo Anthony, and Boris Diaw welcome guests at the entrance. “This way over here is where I work.” There are more elastics on the left.

Obviously autographed. Joakim Noah, Ronny Turiaf, Tony Parker, Nico Batum Until Jules Koundé and Aurélien Tchouameni showed up, they were all basketball stars. It is the client list of the NBA’s “body mechanic,” a supporter of the Lakers and Magic Johnson, as well as all those already stated here, and an osteopath for the French national basketball team.

The superstars of Madrid and Barça, though, are what prompt us to knock on his door.
