Conseil National de l’Ordre des Masseurs-Kinesitherapeutes

What Conseil National de l’Ordre des Masseurs-Kinesitherapeutes does

The Conseil National de l'Ordre des Masseurs-Kinésithérapeutes (CNOMK) is the national public professional regulatory body for physiotherapists in France, established under the Code de la santé publique and headquartered in Paris. Founded in 2004 and representing approximately 110,000 masseurs-kinésithérapeutes across every practice mode (liberal and salaried) and region, the Order fulfils three statutory missions: jurisdictional (disciplinary chambers at departmental, national, and Conseil d'État levels), administrative (professional registry, contract review, deontology enforcement), and mutual aid/support for practitioners in difficulty. Pascale Mathieu serves as Présidente du Conseil national.

The Order operates a digital service ecosystem spanning Mon portail Kiné (monespace.ordremk.fr) for dematerialised registration and CPO card issuance, Mon appli Kiné (iOS/Android) for mobile access, jurisprudence.ordremk.fr (case law database with archives from 1966), deontologie.ordremk.fr (code of ethics with commentaries, Braille, and audio editions), contrats.ordremk.fr (contract review), and the patient-facing monkineetmoi.fr portal. Distribution operates through a hierarchical council network (National Council, Regional CROs, Departmental CDOs), self-serve web/mobile channels, and integration with the European Professional Card (CPE) for cross-border mobility.

CNOMK is funded primarily through mandatory annual membership cotisations from its 110,000 registered practitioners, supplemented by institutional state support. It is not a venture-backed or publicly traded entity; it functions as a quasi-governmental regulator with 11-50 staff and does not sell products or services to the public. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Membership Cotisations (Fees): Physiotherapists pay membership fees (cotisations) to the Order upon registration and annually, as mandated by law. The Order collects and manages these fees to fund its regulatory, administrative, and jurisdictional activities.
2. Public Funding and Government Support: As a public professional regulatory institution established by law (Code de la santé publique), the Order receives institutional support and operates under state mandate to administer the profession, though specific funding mechanisms are not detailed in public sources.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS): French independent public authority that evaluates health products and practices. Comparable in providing clinical guidance, good-practice frameworks and de facto standards that overlap with the Order's deontology and practice-guide publications.

Regional players

• Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC): UK statutory regulator for 15 health professions including physiotherapists. Closest international model with comparable registry, fitness-to-practise discipline, standards and continuing professional development functions.
• Ordre National des Masseurs-Kinésithérapeutes (Belgium): Belgian federal professional association for physiotherapists. Directly comparable mandate for the francophone and EU-cross-border physiotherapist community, though operating under Belgian rather than French law.

Direct peers

• Conseil National de l'Ordre des Médecins (CNOM): France's national medical professional order. Operates the exact same model — statutory monopoly on registry, discipline and deontology for ~300,000 physicians — making it the closest structural and functional analogue to CNOMK.
• Ordre des Orthophonistes et Orthoptistes (France): French allied-health professional orders covering speech therapists and orthoptists; operate similar small statutory orders under Code de la santé publique with comparable registry and discipline functions.
• Ordre National des Chirurgiens-Dentistes (ONCD): National professional order for dental surgeons. Same statutory model and digital platform structure (member portal, jurisprudence database, deontology portal) under French public health law.
• Ordre des Pharmaciens (CNOP): National pharmacy order governing ~70,000 pharmacists in France. Comparable membership-organization economics, disciplinary jurisdiction, and digital service infrastructure.
• Ordre National des Infirmiers (ONI): Statutory nursing professional order in France with analogous registry, deontology and disciplinary missions. Direct sectoral peer given the cross-disciplinary nature of rehabilitation and nursing care teams.
• Ordre des Sages-Femmes (ONSF): National professional order for midwives in France. Same legal framework under Code de la santé publique, same registry/discipline/deontology operating model applied to a smaller allied-health profession.

Others

• Fédération Française des Masseurs-Kinésithérapeutes Rééducateurs (FFMKR): Largest French trade union for liberal physiotherapists. While not a regulatory body, FFMKR is the most representative union counterpart to CNOMK, frequently interacting on convention negotiations, fees, and public-health advocacy.
