This decree defines activity benchmarks, skills and training leading to the chiropractor diploma. The direct consequence of this is a sharing of an entire field of functional rehabilitation between physiotherapists and chiropractors. They consider that this The decision risks complicating the patient's care pathway since the distinction between what is the responsibility of the physiotherapist and what is the responsibility of the chiropractor will only be made with regard to the patient's functional state. In addition, physiotherapists question the fact that this decree establishes in practice a dual regime of access to the same care. Chiropractic is limited to disorders of the musculoskeletal system, while Physiotherapists are interested in the functional capacities of the entire human body. Furthermore, access to care differs, notably between the two disciplines in that access to physiotherapists requires a prescription from the doctor. The respective areas of expertise of physiotherapists and chiropractors have common points, but nonetheless remain distinct.

She therefore asks him how it is planned to ease existing tensions and clarify the situation and if a plan is planned to allow better collaboration between these two professions and all stakeholders in the world of health.
