➥ What is a sports therapy consultation?
It is a physical and sports activity assessment done at the Antoine Lacassagne Center during which the Sports Therapy Practitioner from CAMI Sport & Cancer will discuss with you to best adapt sport to your abilities, needs and desires.
It also consists of a few simple and quick physical tests so that you can follow your progress throughout the programme.
➥ What is a sports therapy session?
It concerns a physical activity adapted to the consequences of cancer and its treatments, supervised by a sports therapy practitioner specifically trained in physical and sports activity in oncology.
The sessions are based on a teaching method specifically created by CAMI Sport & Cancer, Médiété®, which is a sequence of movements and exercises mobilising the entire body.
The sessions last one hour and are carried out in groups at the AnimaNice Pasteur Center.
