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.

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.

Report in a neurofeeback office in France. Neurofeedback is a technique that allows the electrical activity of the brain to be analyzed in real time in an attempt to intuitively improve its functioning. In practice, sensors are applied to the skull and to the ears. The electrical signals are detected using an electroencephalograph which provides the information to a dedicated application. The practitioner is in control of the program while a multimedia activity is delivered to the patient, here in the form of music. During listening, the system informs the brain of the dynamics of the signals it emits, it can then learn to correct them spontaneously thanks to very sophisticated software and can thus succeed in emitting stable and balanced signals.

Report in a snoezelen space in Liège. Mony, 85, suffering from Alzheimer's disease, evolves in this multi-sensory environment that is both soothing and stimulating, accompanied by Marc Thiry, physiotherapist specialized in psychomotricity.
