KineCast#73 : Mon Bilan Prévention : les kinés reconnus

Prevention is on everyone's lips. Public authorities are talking about a shift towards prevention, healthcare professionals are being called upon to act earlier, and patients are being encouraged to take charge of their health. Yet, when preventive health checkups at key life stages were launched, physiotherapists were left out of the program. This decision is difficult to understand for a profession that supports nearly two million people every day, combats sedentary lifestyles, promotes physical activity, and focuses on prevention on a daily basis. So why were physiotherapists excluded? How did the profession finally gain its place? And above all, what can it gain today by fully embracing this program? 🎙️ In this episode of Kinécast, I'm joined by Rémy Rivier, a physiotherapist in Marseille and Secretary General of the FFMKR (French Federation of Physiotherapists), and Félix Faber, a physiotherapist in Marseille and Vice-President of Practice at the FFMKR. Together, we revisit the creation of preventive health assessments, the work undertaken to integrate physiotherapists into the program, and the opportunities this development could open up for the profession. 👉 In this episode, we discuss: • Why preventive health assessments were created and the objectives of the shift towards preventative healthcare • The four key age groups involved and how the program works in practice • The reasons why physiotherapists were initially excluded • How the FFMKR (French Federation of Physiotherapists) secured the profession's inclusion in preventive health assessments • The practical details for conducting a preventive health assessment in a clinic or at home • Why this opportunity could strengthen the role of physiotherapists as public health stakeholders 🎧 Listen to the episode on Deezer, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all podcast platforms. 📺 You can also find the episode on YouTube. 📲 To make sure you don't miss any episodes of Kinécast, subscribe! 🔁 If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a colleague or your team. 📩 Like, comment, and share: this is what allows Kinécast to continue growing and promoting the profession.
