a more sparkling life with sophrology!
With age, the daily life of seniors can deteriorate over time due to the various health conditions that tend to develop. Indeed, the more the number of candles increases, the more the body can develop some diseases2 osteoarthritis, deafness, Parkinson’s disease, etc.
Moreover, the people elderly are greatly affected by exclusion and solitude. This may be related to many factors3 death of spouse, distance from loved ones, loss of mobility, etc. This isolation was also observed during the health crisis linked to Covid-19, where ” 720,000 people elderly4 had no contact with their families during the confinement,” as explained by the association of the Little Brothers of the Poor. With age, it becomes more and more difficult to move around and leave the house. In fact, the people elderly will often reduce the number of outings, which will then increase the risk isolation.
Moreover, as the association Les Petits Frères des Pauvres points out, this isolation is also linked to the invisibility suffered by seniors. This invisibility then risks increasing their feeling of solitude and degrade their mental health. In 2020, the association therefore decided to launch a movement via the hashtag #NeverInvisibleMore5 in order to make the French population aware of isolation of the seniors. The goal: to create a momentum of solidarity and motivate more people to support the seniors in their daily lives in order to recreate social ties.
For this, the sophrology represents an ideal accompaniment, both for the mental and physical health of the seniors.
