The Profession
The psychomotor therapist is a professional specialized in physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being, promoting harmony between body and mind. Their role involves supporting individuals with psychocorporal difficulties, focusing on their overall development and maintaining the connection between body and mind. They use various psychocorporal techniques such as relaxation, body awareness, and expressive movement to assist individuals at all stages of life, in areas such as education, prevention, and personal support.
The program

This phase helps students develop a comprehensive understanding of the field. They then move on to specialize according to their target populations, which includes a significant increase in practical training hours, providing them with hands-on experience in their area of interest. As part of their specialization, students take advanced courses such as neurophysiology, developmental psychology, child stimulation techniques, relaxation, and behavioral rehabilitation for specific conditions like strokes. Additionally, they gain skills in educational rehabilitation techniques, enabling them to design effective strategies to support their patients.
