Nursing homes, medico-social facilities

Break isolation despite loss of autonomy.

In a nursing home, going out, pedalling and getting fresh air are not a given. Yet nearly one resident in four can take part. A 30-minute outing is enough to change their day.

To get started

A first session at your place, we take care of everything.

€380 excl. VAT

Discovery session, no commitment.

  • A half-day on site, all included: bike, driver-facilitator, insurance
  • 3 beneficiaries per ride, 12 to 15 residents over the afternoon
  • Your teams have nothing to prepare

With a subscription, the cost drops to as little as €16/resident (based on a 2h30 session), and several funding schemes cover it. See the funding options

Cycle therapy is far more than an outing,
it is a care tool

What happens on board…

The magic of our programme: everyone pedals at their own pace, with no imposed effort and no competition.

During a session, the body wakes up: muscles and joints work gently.

What surprises people most is the group: residents who never spoke to each other find themselves side by side.

The benefits for mobility and morale are obvious. It has become our residents' favourite moment.

…produces measurable benefits.

Every session is documented to give substance to our commitment: maintaining autonomy.

1 Muscle tone

A torque sensor on each pedal set measures the muscular effort provided (in watts).

2 Heart rate

Connected wristbands: heart rate, activity.

3 Mental well-being

Post-session questionnaire.

4 Online platform

Data aggregated and reported to the physician, to management and to funders.

Cycle therapy fits into your facility project:

  • Aligned with your activity programme, PASA or UHR
  • Coordinated with the coordinating physician and the psychomotor therapist
  • A written report per beneficiary, integrable into the care record
After three months of regular sessions, we see muscle tone maintained in the participants, where it used to decline.

Our driver-facilitators, trained in adapted physical activity.

Every driver-facilitator is trained in adapted physical activity by our partner ReSantéVous.

That is what sets a supervised outing apart from a simple stroll.
