Acupressure (according to the method of A. A. Umanskaya) as one of the means of improving children in a preschool educational institution - Document. Children's acupressure for preschool children
Acupressure
In order for acupressure not to be performed purely mechanically, it is necessary to create an appropriate emotional mood. Acupressure self-massage is the pressure of the fingertips on the skin and muscle layer at the location of the tactile and proprioceptive points and nerve branches. Such a massage, having an exciting or inhibitory effect, gives good results with a complex effect, especially when combined with "communication" with one's body in a game situation and mental pronunciation of affectionate words (sweet, kind, good). Acupressure as an element of psychophysical training helps to relax muscles and relieve neuro-emotional stress. It is most often used to improve the course of nervous processes by influencing some active points. Basically, this is a self-massage of active points on the soles and toes, some points on the head, face and ears, as well as on the fingers. If the pain is felt from light pressure with the fingers, then the active point should be massaged with the fingers of the right hand easily, quickly and superficially along the centrifugal spiral - from oneself to the right (tonic effect). If the pain appears only from a strong pressure on the point, then you need to have a calming effect by pressing directly on this point with medium force with the thumb of your right hand, and then rubbing it purposefully along a centripetal spiral - away from you to the left. The child here does not just "work" - he plays, sculpts, crumples, smoothes his body, seeing in it an object of care, affection, love. By massaging a certain part of the body, the child, as in a holographic print, affects the entire body as a whole. Full confidence that he is really creating something beautiful develops in the child a positive value attitude towards his own body.

The systematic implementation of various massage procedures for the child brings excellent results. A positive effect on health is noticeable after the first sessions. Is no exception to the rule and acupressure for children. Its essence lies in the implementation of irritation of the receptors of muscles and skin, which occurs when pressure is applied to a certain area. Impulses from the foci of influence come to the spinal cord and brain, and from there to all other organs and systems. The main thing is to know the “secret” points and carry out the right manipulations, pictures can help parents make the right acupressure for children.
Acupressure technique for children
Children's acupressure is done no longer than 15 minutes. It is carried out with the help of pressure and rotational movements in different directions. If manipulations have a preventive purpose, then the impact should be weak, therapeutic - stronger. Parents are encouraged to first try the massage on themselves, and then do it to the child.

Manipulations must be performed strictly in sequence from the first point to the ninth. Massage of paired points is carried out simultaneously. If some movements are unpleasant for the child, then it is necessary to reduce the force of impact. If the baby is experiencing pain, you need to check the organs corresponding to these points, and act on the places themselves more often, bringing their sensitivity to normal.
Features of acupressure for babies
The procedure for newborns has its own characteristics compared to the manipulations performed on older children:
The duration of exposure to each reflex zone should not exceed 1 minute.
Acupressure for babies can be done 2-3 times a day.
More than 4 zones should not be massaged in one session.
During the procedure, you can sing funny songs, talk with the baby.
If the baby began to act up, acupressure should be stopped immediately and try to find out the cause of his discontent.
The air temperature in the room should not be below 22 degrees.
Children's acupressure of the face
The procedure can be performed by both adults and children on their own. Such acupressure is often carried out in kindergarten or at home. The guys need to be seated and shown how the face is “molded”:
Stroke the forehead, cheeks (from the nose to the hair).
With fingertips, press in the area of the bridge of the nose on the points located under the eyebrows. Make 5 times circular movements clockwise and counterclockwise.
Draw a line along the eyebrows, pinch them in the direction from the bridge of the nose to the temples.
With the pads of the middle fingers, make acupressure, pressing in a circle under the eyes, moving from the outside to the inside.
Run your fingers from the bridge of the nose to the sinuses, press on the wings of the nose.
Rub your ears. Find a point located near the tragus, press on it.
By irritating these active zones, you can prevent the occurrence of colds. The facial expressions are also superbly developed. Acupressure facial massage for children is an excellent method for activating:
organs of vision.
mental activity.
Cerebral circulation.
The work of the maxillary sinuses.
The nasal cavity and its mucous membrane.
hearing aid.
vestibular system.
Acupressure for raising immunity in children
An effective simple procedure was proposed by A.A. Umanskaya. The results of the research revealed that such manipulations contribute to the process of self-regulation, as a result of which a large number of the following active substances are produced:
Lysozyme.
The proteins of the complement system.
Interferon.
Acupressure for children according to the method of Umanskaya perfectly strengthens the child's immunity. It consists in sequential massaging of such single points:
In the middle of the chest where the fifth ribs are attached.
In the center of the jugular cavity.
At the base of the bridge of the nose, between the eyebrows.
Paired symmetrical areas are massaged simultaneously:
It is necessary to act on the above points with a fingertip, rotating it every 5 seconds clockwise and counterclockwise. Manipulations begin with light pressures, which gradually need to be increased.
Acupressure for children is very useful for raising immunity. When the first symptoms of a cold occur or after contact with a sick person, it should be done every day for a week. If you perform all the manipulations correctly, you can achieve amazing results and significantly improve the health of the baby.
Game self-massage
One of the main tasks facing teachers is the education of a healthy younger generation. In recent years, there has been a deterioration in the health of children. This is due to many factors. In addition to adverse climatic conditions, the health of children is adversely affected by the deterioration of the environmental situation, electron beam, "metal-sound" exposure of children (computer games, prolonged exposure to TV, watching videos, constantly sounding rock music), as well as social tension in society and intensification of the learning process. There was a need to improve the health of children, the creation of health-saving technologies to solve the problems of improving the health of children.
Preschool age is one of the most crucial periods in the life of every person. It is during these years that the foundations of health, the harmonious mental, moral and physical development of the child are laid, the personality of a person is formed.
In the period from three to seven years, the child grows and develops intensively, movements become his need, therefore it is especially important during this age period to educate the child's physical culture and respect for one's health.
Recently, non-traditional means of physical education of children have been increasingly used in preschool institutions: rhythmic gymnastics, game stretching, dancing and others.
The game method gives the educational process an attractive form, facilitates the process of remembering and mastering exercises, increases the emotional background of classes, and contributes to the development of thinking, imagination and creative abilities of the child.
Game self-massage is an unconventional type of exercise that helps the child's body develop naturally, morphologically and functionally improve its individual organs and systems.
I wanted to present the card index of "Game Self-Massage". In this card index, exercises of playing self-massage from my own experience, tested with the children of my preschool institution, are selected. Some exercises are taken from the experience of M.Yu. Kartushina.
"Game self-massage" is the basis for hardening and healing of the child's body. Performing self-massage exercises in a playful way, with musical accompaniment, children get joy and good mood. Such exercises contribute to the formation of a conscious desire for health in the child, developing the skill of their own healing.
An indispensable condition is the constant monitoring of the well-being and individual reaction of children. All exercises should be performed against the backdrop of positive responses from the child. During the massage, it is recommended to teach children not to press hard on the indicated points, but to massage them with soft finger movements. Massage movements should be performed from the periphery to the center.
Before conducting the lesson, the teacher should try to complete all the exercises himself. In this case, in the classroom, the children will easily perform them according to the show. The selection of musical accompaniment, as well as the intonation diversity of the teacher's speech, is very important for maintaining the attention and interest of children. You need to be able to create a fabulous, magical atmosphere with music, speech, and facial expressions. And you will see for yourself, you will see with what delight the eyes of your pupils will light up.

Children perform gymnastics for the eyes (according to the healing method of yogis)
Alternately fixing the gaze on the finger and the horizon: take a stable pose and place your hand with a raised index finger at head level in front of you, about 30 cm from the eyes. Alternately look from the finger to the red leaf-check on the tree, lingering in each position for 2-3 seconds. The finger should be approximately in the same direction as the leaf, so that when looking at the eyes, the eyeballs hardly move. Both the finger and the leaves need to be looked at carefully, achieving a clear concentration. Perform within 1 minute.
Alternate fixation of the gaze at the tip of the nose and on the horizon: performed similarly to the previous exercise, only the gaze is transferred from the tip of the nose to the red leaf and vice versa. These exercises increase the eye's ability to focus accurately at various distances. Improving vision occurs due to accommodation (the ability of the lens to change its curvature)
Rest for the eyes: Sit quietly and steadily. Close your eyes and relax your eyelids. Mentally stroke your eyes with warm, soft fingers. The face and body are also relaxed. Relaxation time 20 - 30 seconds. This exercise protects the eyes from fatigue and serves as a preventive measure against visual impairment.

"Flowers"
Musical director: Look how beautiful our flowers are, how delicate their petals are! In the evening, when the sun goes to sleep, each petal closes its petals and also falls asleep. And in the morning, as soon as the sun appears in the sky, the flowers wake up and expose their delicate petals to its warm rays. Let's imagine now. that our little tender fingers are flower petals.
Our scarlet flowers
(Children connect slightly bent palms - bud)
The petals are unfolding.
(Spread fingers to the sides, wrists are connected - the bud has opened)
The wind breathes a little
(Quietly blowing on the "flower")
The petals sway.
(shaking "flower")
Our scarlet flowers
Close the petals
(They connect their fingers - again we have a "bud")
shake their heads
(Shake the "bud" left and right)
They fall asleep quietly.
(The palms are clenched into fists - "the flowers are sleeping")
In the early morning all the flowers
(They make a "bud" again, gradually raise it up "stretches towards the sun")
The petals will bloom again.
(Spread fingers to the sides - "the bud has blossomed")
Thus, play massage affects the development of phonemic hearing, fine motor skills and the overall development of speech.
Without a doubt, all parents would like their children to grow up healthy and physically strong, not to suffer from excess weight and problems with the spine. Now, when children prefer to spend most of their free time at the computer, the problem of a healthy lifestyle is especially relevant. Mastering the basic skills of self-massage is one of the ways for preschoolers to join a healthy lifestyle. Self-massage for children - point, playful, in verse, using massage balls, designer parts, pencils and even paper - is a great way to relax muscles and get rid of neuro-emotional stress in a fun way.
In order to develop a good habit in children to massage regularly, it should not be tiring for them. The process of self-massage should be a pleasure for children, not cause pain, cause positive emotions, and its elements and the sequence of their implementation should be easy to remember. Game self-massage serves as a good training for imaginative thinking for children, trains their memory, helps to quickly and easily memorize poems and songs, and helps to strengthen mental and physical health.
Acupressure for children is performed by pressing the fingertips on the skin and muscles at the locations of energetically active points. This type of massage can serve as a relaxing or aphrodisiac; when used in combination, it has a positive effect on the child's body. It is used mainly to normalize nervous processes and most often it is self-massage of the soles and toes, hands, head and face. It is necessary to teach children not to press with all their strength during the massage, but to press lightly, gently.
Point self-massage of the face for children
The purpose of the massage is to prevent colds, to learn how to control facial expressions. It is performed in a playful way, imitating the work of a sculptor.
We press our fingers on the bridge of the nose, the points in the middle of the eyebrows, making rotational movements first clockwise and then counterclockwise. We perform 5-6 times.
With effort, exerting pressure, we “draw” the eyebrows, giving them a beautiful bend. We “sculpt” thick eyebrows with tweezers.
With light gentle touches we sculpt the eyes, comb the cilia.
We move our fingers from the bridge of the nose to the tip of the nose, “sculpting” a long nose for Pinocchio.
Self-massage of the face for children in verses "Nose, wash yourself!"
1."Crane, open!"- with the right hand we make rotational movements, "opening" the tap.
"Nose, wash yourself!"- rub the wings of the nose with the index fingers of both hands.
"Wash both eyes at once"- Gently run your hands over your eyes.
"Wash, ears!"- Rub your ears with your palms.
"Wash, neck!"- with gentle movements we stroke the neck in front.
"Sheika, wash yourself well!"- We stroke the back of the neck, from the base of the skull to the chest.
"Wash, wash, bathe!- Gently stroke your cheeks.
"Dirty, wash off! Dirty, wash off!"- three palms on each other.
Self-massage for the face and neck for children "Indian"
The purpose of the massage is to teach children to relax the muscles of the face and neck when performing a massage in front of a mirror. Imagine that we are Indians applying war paint.
We “draw” lines from the middle of the forehead to the ears with strong movements - repeat 3 times.
We “draw” lines from the nose to the ears, while spreading the fingers wide - repeat 3 times.
“Draw” lines from the middle of the chin towards the ears - repeat 3 times.
We “draw” lines on the neck in the direction from the chin to the chest - repeat 3 times.
“It's raining” - lightly tap your fingers on your face, as if playing the piano.
“We wipe the leaked paint from the face”, lightly running the palms over the face, preheating them, rubbing them together.
“We shake off the remaining droplets of water from our hands,” lowering our hands down.
Considering the trend of increasing the incidence of various diseases in children, self-massage can be used as a means of preventing diseases. In studies of recent years, a stimulating effect on some immunological parameters of reflexology has been noted - effective without a drug, which does not give side reactions. It has been shown that stimulation of biologically active points increases the activity of macrophages, enhances phagocytosis, affects the synthesis of antibodies, normalizes the mobility of nervous processes, the state of the hypothalamic-pituitary system and increases the adaptive capacity of the body.
Massage of active zones is a method of self-healing. This is the opinion of Chinese massage experts who consider this method of traditional medicine quite accessible for mastering not only by adults, but also by children.
The locations of the points shown in the graphic figures (Fig. 1, 2, 3) correspond almost exactly to them, however, their deviations within 1 cm can be noted. It almost always happens that the desired point of the active zone reacts to strong pressure with a sharp (clear) pain signal (impulse), which highlights it in the desired area of the body.
During the massage of active zones, it is necessary to relax, stop all extraneous conversations, distractions, focus on the procedure. The main preventive points against SARS are four paired ones, all located on the face (Fig. 1).
Rice. 1. Massage against SARS according to an abbreviated scheme
Massage is carried out with the tips of the index fingers of both hands, on both sides, synchronously, for 15-20 seconds. on each point, in the rhythm of one or two revolutions per second. The sequence of influence is points 1 → 2 → 3 → 4. Massage according to an abbreviated scheme should be introduced into the child’s daily life at the skill level so that it becomes the same necessity for the child as washing, etc. It should be carried out at the last physical minute of each lesson and after daytime nap at preschool, and once at home before bed. Moreover, in the morning and during the day it is necessary to exert stronger pressure on the skin, combined with fast, intense movements, and before going to bed (at home), the massage should be light, calm, non-intense. In-depth schemes for massage of active zones are shown in fig. 2 and 3.
Rice. 2. "In hot spots" to activate the body's adaptive responses to adverse environmental factors, including the respiratory group of viruses (according to A.L. Umanskaya)
The possibility of independent high-quality acupressure by young children is seriously questioned by some authors. There are two types of acupressure - exciting and soothing. The first is carried out for 2-3 minutes with pressure on a point on the verge of soreness, which the child will never allow himself, since this requires a certain volitional effort. The second, with less pressure on the point, is carried out for 8-10 minutes for each point and is not reproducible under the conditions of the DOW. Nevertheless, we are not against teaching children the rules of acupressure self-massage, but only from 5.5–6 years old with the main goal of making it the same regimen need in children in the future as the administration of natural needs. This can only be achieved by regular acupressure and preferably at the same time. We recommend introducing it as an obligatory component of the program of physical education sessions in developing classes (2–3 points for each pause according to an abbreviated scheme (Fig. 2).
Point 1 is associated with the mucous membrane of the trachea, bronchi, and bone marrow. When massaging this point, coughing decreases, blood formation improves.
Point 2 is associated with the mucous membrane of the lower parts of the pharynx, larynx, as well as with the thymus (thymus gland), which regulates the body's immune responses. Massaging this point increases the body's resistance to infectious diseases.
Point 3 is associated with the carotid sinuses, which control the chemical composition of the blood and at the same time increase the protective properties of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and larynx.
Point 4 is associated with the mucosa of the posterior pharyngeal wall, larynx and the upper cervical sympathetic ganglion. Massaging this point activates the blood supply to the head, neck, and torso.
Point 5 is located in the region of the 7th cervical and 1st thoracic vertebrae. It is associated with the mucosa of the trachea, pharynx, esophagus, and most importantly, with the lower cervical sympathetic ganglion. Massage of this point contributes to the normalization of the activity of the vessels of the heart, bronchi, lungs.
Point 6 is associated with the anterior and middle lobes of the pituitary gland. Massage of this point improves the blood supply to the nasal mucosa, maxillary cavity, and most importantly - the pituitary gland. Breathing through the nose becomes free, the runny nose disappears.
Point 7 is associated with the mucous membrane of the lattice formations of the nasal cavity and frontal sinuses, as well as with the frontal parts of the brain. Massage of this point improves blood circulation of the mucous membrane of the upper parts of the nasal cavity, as well as the area of the eyeball and frontal parts of the brain responsible for human mental activity.
Point 8 massage has a positive effect on the organ of hearing and the vestibular apparatus.
