Christe Guillaume

Christe Guillaume is an Adjunct Professor at HESAV - Haute Ecole de Santé Vaud, affiliated with the Santé (Health) school and the Physiothérapie (Physiotherapy) department. His research focuses on low back pain (lombalgie), biomechanics, chronic pain mechanisms, and clinical rehabilitation strategies. He has led projects such as the cohort study investigating psychological factors and spinal kinematics in chronic low back pain and a systematic review on spinal amplitude and pain disability correlations.

Education includes advanced degrees in Physiotherapy and Health Sciences. His work emphasizes multidisciplinary approaches, integrating biomechanical, psychological, and clinical dimensions. Key collaborations include the Swiss BioMotion Lab (CHUV) and Ghent University. He has developed the www.infomaldedos.ch website to educate the public on evidence-based back pain management.

Recent publications (2023-2025) highlight advancements in understanding spinal motor behavior, movement-evoked pain, and the impact of media on public pain beliefs. His studies frequently address the need for patient-centered interventions targeting fear-avoidance and biomechanical adaptations. Grants include funding from the HES-SO health domain scientific commission.

Research teams often involve Julien Favre and international collaborators like Geert Crombez. His work bridges clinical practice and research, advocating for active lifestyles and debunking harmful back pain myths. No awards are explicitly listed, but his contributions to chronic pain education are widely recognized in academic circles.
