Reportage on a midwife in Lyon, France during a eutony session. Eutony is a method which helps develop body-consciousness. Working with the midwife, from the second term of pregnancy on, helps the future mother to better feel her body, which is changing from day to day. The three main axes of work are: being conscious of ones skin and its limits, feeling contained to better contain, being aware of the skeleton that carries us (we carry better when we feel supported) and searching for the bodys axis, which is changing every day during pregnancy. This method ensures a more harmonious and physiological pregnancy.

Reportage in a Feldenkrais method practice. Individual session for dancers from the Young Ballet Higher National Conservatory for Music and Dance in Lyon, France. The Feldenkrais method is a global somatic education method which improves and teaches ease and fluidity in body movement. Exploration of movement initially enables the person to gently neutralize certain automatic reflexes that can cause discomfort or stiffness. This leads to new, more appropriate sensori-motor pathways. Harmonious and efficient movements that rely on less effort improve body use.

Photo essay on the Whole Body Cryotherapy at INSEP (National institute of sport) in France. Whole Body Cryotherapy is the stimulating use of extremely low temperatures below minus 110°C. The therapy stimulates the temperature receptors in the skin to communicate with the brain. The brain then transmits messages throughout the body causing the peripheral blood vessels to constrict. The enhanced blood supply that Whole Body Cryotherapy stimulates increases the oxygen and nutrient supply to areas that need revitalising. Whole Body Cryotherapy causes inhibition of inflammation which results in a reduction of pain and swelling. This reduction in pain and swelling improves joint function which enables therapists to progress treatment quicker and results in an overall sooner return to play. It helps the body recover after intense exercise by flushing out the muscles. Whole Body Cryotherapy can also be used as part of a training programme to enhance sporting performance. It increases muscular
