Let’s Talk About Mental Health: Psychomotor Therapy and Aging
Dr. Sofia Figueirinhas, a psychomotor therapist at the Centro Psicogeriátrico Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Sisters Hospitallers – Parede | Cascais), shares her experience in psychomotor interventions with older adults. Specializing in geronto-psychomotor therapy, she focuses on sensory stimulation and nonverbal communication to enhance well-being during both typical and pathological aging processes. She is part of the facility’s multidisciplinary team and also contributes to community programs like the “Senior Brain Gym,” aimed at promoting active aging and preventing dementia.
