What is the Soubiran method, a psychomotor therapy practiced at COP9?

The professionals at COP9 have been trained at the Superior Institute of Psychomotor Rehabilitation and Psychosomatic Relaxation. They practice the Soubiran psychomotor relaxation therapy.

The Soubiran method is a psychosomatic relaxation therapy that mobilizes, in a passive way, the different body segments. In other words, during individual sessions, our psychomotor therapist will use their experience and expertise to improve stress management, breathing control, muscle relaxation and better visualization of the body schema.

Before applying the Soubiran psychomotor therapy, the therapist will first perform a psychomotor assessment (motor skills, laterality, etc.), which we have explained in more detail in this article already online on our site.

Depending on the patient’s needs and profile, the session can be performed lying down, sitting or standing. A session generally takes place in three stages:

  1. the installation in a position of motor release, to relax;
  2. working with the psychomotor therapist in verbal and tactile mediations;
  3. a verbalization of the patient’s experiences.

It is important to listen to one’ s corporeal expression, rich in emotional information during these psychomotricity sessions.
