This book, designed in the form of illustrated cards, presents all the essential knowledge to provide therapeutic education and support for the patient in his daily life: carrying a heavy object, carrying a bag, breathing, etc. Sport-health is also integrated including walking and swimming. The book offers 75 files that follow a recurring plan: context; usefulness; disadvantages; remarks; medico-technical reflection. It also includes exercises that are simple to set up on a daily basis, and a quiz facilitates the implementation of the concepts covered.

This book is oriented towards the concerns of everyday life and aimed primarily at student and professional physiotherapists but also at all health professionals who support patients on a daily basis. It fills a gap, sometimes terrible, between the acute phase of proper care and the resumption of daily life.
