MYA is a research company specializing in re-education and rehabilitation. We conduct our own research in collaboration with clinical research centers, and develop digital tools for health professionals and patients.
Re-education and rehabilitation concern everyone: after an injury, surgery, a musculoskeletal disorder, with age or a chronic disease. Movement is a central lever, and a non-drug therapy in its own right. Between what research establishes and what practice manages to sustain over time, the gap remains wide.
people worldwide live with a health condition that may benefit from rehabilitation (2019 data).

Two complementary approaches at the heart of our work: restoring a function (mobility, strength, balance) after an injury, surgery or illness, then supporting the return to autonomy and activity.
Functional re-education and rehabilitationSedentary lifestyles, nutrition, ageing, unequal access to care from one area to another: collective challenges that call for fact-based answers.
Adapted physical activityWe develop digital tools for health professionals and patients, held to the same standard as our research.
Our approachWe start from what science establishes, and we respect its limits.
Our work draws on their field experience and their standards.
A firm commitment to confidentiality and security.
A treatment only works if it is followed. For physical activity, the link is even more direct: exercise only exists if it is practiced. Understanding why programs stop, and what helps people keep going, is one of our core research questions.
During his own rehabilitation, Victor, our founder, discovered adapted physical activity. He realized that many patients have nothing comparable once care ends, and turned it into a research question.

They are two complementary approaches, often carried out together. Re-education restores a function: mobility, strength, balance, exercise capacity, after an injury, surgery, a musculoskeletal disorder or an illness. Rehabilitation supports the person toward autonomy and a return to their activities. Dosed, progressive movement is at the heart of both. See our article on functional re-education and rehabilitation.
It is a scientifically validated intervention that does not rely on medication: adapted physical activity, patient education, nutritional or psychological care. In France, adapted physical activity is one of the best documented, and a physician can prescribe it under France's exercise on prescription scheme, extended by law no. 2022-296 of March 2, 2022.
Adherence, meaning how well patients follow their treatment or program over time, describes the gap between what is prescribed and what is actually done. It is one of the main determinants of rehabilitation outcomes. We cover it in a reference article.
It measures how much confidence can be placed in the studies behind a recommendation. In France, the HAS distinguishes grades A (established evidence), B (scientific presumption), C (low level of evidence) and expert agreement. See our guide to levels of evidence in health.
It is supervised physical activity tailored to the abilities, risks and needs of a person with a chronic disease or loss of autonomy. It is delivered by trained professionals. See our guide to adapted physical activity.
It is the framework that allows a physician to prescribe adapted physical activity to a patient in France, created in 2016 and extended by law no. 2022-296 of March 2, 2022 to new prescribers and new patient groups. Our article on exercise on prescription explains how it works.
