Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Symptom Treatment
The full form of ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. A form of disorder that usually sees hyperactive behavior and poor impulse control among children – they tend to have problems staying still or focusing on anything for too long. A massage treatment from a licensed massage therapist from Lymphatic Drainage Massage Clinic can work wonders with reducing stress levels and making your child feel more relaxed. The Analytical and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders suggest that between 3-7% of all school age children can be affected by this disorder. In a pediatric setting, at least ten percent of all problems being addressed are due to this disorder. Studies indicate that more boys tend to have this disorder compared to girls, but the number of girls with ADHD has been on the rise as well.
The Effects of Massage Therapy Children/Adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
When it comes to dealing with children, strong medication is not always advised. A massage from a Certified Pediatric Massage Therapist can help them as well. A recent study was conducted where ten children with ADHD took massage treatment classes for a period of two weeks. These children later rated themselves as more content that the study group that participated in recreational therapy. Those who were viewing the process rated those children who participated in the massage therapy as less agitated, while teachers said that they were better able to focus.
Even with children diagnosed with depression, a massage from a licensed massage therapist can work to reduce the levels of depression in the brain. In test groups, it was discovered that the urinary cortical as well as salivary levels in the body were reduced. Not only that, but a massage from a Certified Pediatric Massage Therapist from Lymphatic Drainage Massage Clinic can help in dealing with sleep problems as well. Your child will be able to have a more relaxing sleeping experience, and dream peacefully.
Exactly how a massage can perform such wonders is not properly knows. Studied indicate, from the collection of physiological as well as biochemical data, that the direction of the brain towards sensitive awareness increases. This leads to less hyperactive behavior in children, as they are better able to regulate themselves and focus on their everyday tasks. An increase in the levels of parasympathetic activity can also be seen when dealing with the after effects of a massage treatment. Such a state works to increase the attention span of a child, while putting them in a state of relaxation as well.
Improved vagal control of the heart is induced by working to calm a physiological inhibitory system that is missing or reduced. By working to properly regulate this aspect, children suffering from ADHD would better be able to regulate themselves. Increased attention and a reduced need for impulsive behavior follow, and they can conduct themselves in the same way as children without ADHD.A massage from a licensed massage therapist comes with many benefits, such as inducing relaxation while making the children feel better in their bodies and minds.
