How we work

The Budo method

Activities use breathing, posture, movement and concentration to help children recover confidence and a sense of control in difficult moments.

Budo practice

Simple tools within a safe framework

Each activity is non-clinical, adapted to the child’s age and ability, and carried out with respect for the medical context.

Breathing and concentration

Short exercises provide a clear rhythm and point of focus that a child can use before, during or after a difficult moment.

Posture, movement and voice

Controlled gestures, posture and voice invite the child to participate actively and express strength in a safe way.

Adapted to each child

The activity’s length, intensity and form are adapted to the child’s age, ability and situation, including at the bedside or in a small group.

A clearly defined non-clinical role

Budo activities offer educational and well-being support. They do not include diagnosis, medical treatment, psychotherapy or medical advice.
