[Psychomotricity and socio-aesthetics, physical therapy interventions for obese teenagers]

Abstract

The project to lose weight is not simply a matter of changing behaviour. Obese teenagers must draw on other strategies, including those which require them to learn to love their body. In this respect, psychomotricity and socio-aesthetics are two complementary approaches which can be used as part of a teenager's care in the day hospital.
