Sophrology is a psycho-bodily method used as a therapeutic technique or experienced as a philosophy of life. It was designed by neuropsychiatrist Alfonso Caycedo and is inspired by Western and Eastern techniques. The term SOPHROLOGY, inspired by ancient Greek *, means study of the harmonization of consciousness.

An exclusively verbal and non-tactile method, sophrology uses a set of techniques that will act on both the body and the mind. It combines exercises that work on breathing, muscle relaxation and mental imagery (or visualization). All these techniques make it possible to find a state of well-being and to activate all its potential. Sophrology makes it possible to acquire a better knowledge of oneself and to face the challenges of everyday life with serenity.

* sôs: harmonious; phren: the mind; logos: science

Preparing for an event

In this case, sophrology does not cure, but comes in addition to medical treatment. In support of cancer, for example, sophrology helps people experience treatments better, reduce the impact of side effects or even restore self-image. In the case of fibromyalgia, it will reduce the intensity of pain and regain a quality of daily life. In addition to these aspects, sophrology also allows you to regain a certain vitality on a daily basis. It thus helps patients to mobilize the necessary energy throughout the treatment process.

Sophrology is also involved in this more therapeutic area. The method intervenes in particular in the accompaniment of phobias, such as that of transport, although it does not cure them. Above all, it will allow them to be better managed, just like addictions to tobacco or alcohol, for example.
