Fondation Hopale Group

Fondation Hopale is a specialised network of 14 medical institutions based in northern France, offering treatment for orthopedic and neurological diseases as well as comprehensive rehabilitation after trauma and surgery. For 15 consecutive years, Fondation Hopale has been ranked among the TOP-5 best clinics in France — a distinction earned through consistent clinical excellence and innovation. The network's approach is built on four core principles: a multidisciplinary approach individualised for each patient; preference for non-surgical and minimally invasive therapies where appropriate; expert infection management for complex surgical and post-surgical cases; and rigorous use of modern evidence-based protocols. Fondation Hopale's flagship institution in Berck-sur-Mer has a distinguished history as one of France's oldest specialist rehabilitation centres, originally established for spinal and orthopaedic conditions. Today the network provides: Spinal Surgery and Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation, Neurological Rehabilitation (stroke, MS, Parkinson's, TBI), Orthopaedic Rehabilitation, Amputation and Prosthetics, Chronic Pain Management, Pediatric Rehabilitation, Sport Injury Rehabilitation, and Infectious Disease Management for complex surgical cases. The network pioneered the use of isokinetic diagnosis in France — a method of evaluating joint and muscle condition that allows precise identification of musculoskeletal problems before treatment planning. The group also operates a dedicated research division in partnership with French universities. International patients benefit from English and multilingual patient support.
