The Loiret Health Insurance has joined forces with the Regional Union of Health Professionals (URPS) to screen for back problems in children.
For the third time, the “Protect your back” campaign is offering physiotherapy sessions on Wednesday afternoons.
It is possible to consult professionals until the end of May in Orléans, Montargis, and Gien (Loiret), specifies France Bleu Orléans.
Prevention and information
Only the last city still has slots available.
Registrations must be done online.
The physiotherapists participating in the operation observe the backs of the children but also take advantage of the meeting to carry out prevention and inform young people and their parents.
One of the professionals, for example, said that he explains to patients the importance of practicing one hour of physical activity a day.
The fight against a sedentary lifestyle and against received ideas, such as those of the misdeeds of schoolbags, is on the program.
A study by the URPS has shown that nearly half of 8-12 year olds “present or will present during their schooling with spinal pain”.
