A compter de mercredi 1^er mars, les médecins pourront prescrire de l’activité physique à leurs patients souffrant d’une affection longue durée : quelque trente maladies sont concernées (diabète, maladie de Parkinson, cancer, etc). 

Problème : si tous les acteurs se félicitent de la reconnaissance de cette thérapeutique dont l’efficacité n’est plus à prouver, ils en soulignent les limites. En effet, ces activités physiques ne seront pas prises en charge par l’assurance-maladie.
