Mot du spécialiste
For many years now, my educational activities have been centered not only around the teaching of university students but also around the monitoring and follow-up of the health of adults and children in cardiopulmonary physiotherapy. My day-to-day mission is to provide emotional, social, and psychological support to patients and their loved ones. I provide guidance, information, and advice in connection with care plans (examinations, problems identified, progression, treatment plans to follow) and am active in the field of health promotion.
