At the heart of this logic of sport on prescription, we find for example Peps. The Physical Exercise Prescription for Health system is supported jointly by the Region, the Regional Health Agency (ARS) and the Regional Academic Delegation for Youth, Engagement and Sports (Drajes).
Sports on prescription
The departmental coordinator, Cindy Gaillard, leads a network of seven employees who welcome all those that health professionals (general practitioners or specialists, physiotherapists, nurses, pharmacists, etc.) have identified in their office or at the hospital. “We care for 950 people per year in Dordogne. The average age is 59 but there is no right age to start. Depending on the risk factors or the pathology, we determine with each of them the most suitable physical activity and we direct them towards a sports structure labeled Peps. “.
Certainly, recognizes Cindy Gaillard, it is not possible to practice all sports everywhere but “there is no white zone”. Walking, yoga, gym, tennis, meditation offered by the Cami for cancer patients… The choice is more or less rich.
But all these structures are run by physical educators, at least made aware by well-targeted sessions, because the goal is to move to feel better and not to worsen your condition. Cindy Gaillard has in mind young people aged 30 to 40 who have relieved their chronic back pain.
