Sophrology and Science

Sophrology isn’t new. It’s been used for 6 decades in Continental Europe (primarily in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Spain) in medical, educational, corporate and sports settings. It has a wide variety of applications such as stress-management, sleep, anxiety, pain management, tinnitus, birth preparation, preparing for exams and sports competitions, prevention of burnout, addictions, mental health or stage fright.

In France and Switzerland, Sophrology is reimbursed by health insurance and used alongside traditional medical approaches. It is also studied and practised at Universities and University Hospitals offer it as a treatment.

Sophrology uses exercises and techniques that can positively impact the body and mind’s well-being and the nervous system, such as breathing, relaxation, mental imagery, movement, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness and self-hypnosis. Sophrology is being studied on a wide range of applications that you can discover in this link.
