ADD & ADHD

ADD/ADHD children are often considered to be problem children when they simply have trouble understanding.

"During the massage these children are in a position to receive information and memorize it.

Although ADD and ADHD children do not seem to be able to relax, they do enjoy the massage. The child with an attention deficit disorder is simply a hypersensitive child who has more developed senses than the ordinary child. Because his hearing is more sensitive, he picks up more sounds, which causes him to be more distracted. Its visual is easily stimulated and its panorama is larger. He has difficulty concentrating. The nerve receptors in his skin are constantly in action. He has difficulty staying in place, his body itches. In the end, our ADD and ADHD are simply poorly skilled superheroes. They do not have things less than other children; on the contrary, they have powers that they must learn to master.

ADD and ADHD children perceive massage as a contact with their body, since they are constantly stimulated, and they never take the time to feel it. With a deeper and slower pressure, he can relax, slow down his breathing. The ADD or ADHD child often has memory loss during a period of stress, as he or she contracts his or her muscles and reduces the oxygen supply to the brain. A simple pause would allow him to restore everything.

During the massage with these children, I sometimes discuss various things with them since they are in a position to receive information and memorize it.

The oxygen to his brain and the relaxation of his muscles gives his brain a better ability to register.

Having worked in the field of daycare for nearly 18 years, and having done coaching and intervention plans for these children, I am able to guide them, to make them aware of what is happening in their body.

ADD/ADHD children are often considered problem children when they simply have a hard time understanding what they are experiencing and a great lack of tools to help them master their superpowers.

The ADD/ADHD adult

The adult ADD ADHD also exists, but with time he builds his toolbox, mastered his brain and found tricks to improve his daily life (notepad, music, massage, exercise …). ADD or ADHD adults are sometimes confused with depression.

The adult with ADD or ADHD is already a stressed, anxious person. Increased stress may prevent him from moving forward due to a high dose of anxiety. Increased anxiety decreases oxygen to the brain and thereby decreases memory and decreases nutrient intake, which decreases energy. Sometimes simply being aware of this stress and giving yourself the tools can help you avoid depression and medication. Massage provides this connection as well as playing a large role in the exchange of essential elements for the body.
