Self-massage and acupressure for preschoolers. Game exercises "Acupressure
A newborn baby, despite the apparent weakness, already has a powerful defense against various viruses. He received this protection from his mother in the form of antibodies. A powerful influx of health is carried out through breastfeeding, so in the first months of life, babies rarely get colds. But the time is coming for the formation of your own immune system, and here it is important to make sure that the healing methods are the most effective for your child.
Everyone knows that any hardening methods must be carried out gradually so as not to harm the baby. The child must first be prepared for hardening procedures. Experts recommend doing this with a massage. The most popular today is acupressure of biologically active points of the body according to the system of Professor Alla Alekseevna UMANSKAYA.
The essence of the method lies in the impact of fingers on 9 bioactive point zones on the baby's body. These points are like buttons on a remote control that controls the entire body. During the finger massage, irritation of the receptors of the skin, muscles, tendons, fingers occurs, the impulses from which pass simultaneously to the brain and spinal cord, and from there the command is already received to engage in the work of various organs and structures. Massage increases the protective properties of the membranes of the nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and other organs. Under the influence of massage, the body begins to produce its own drugs (for example, interferon), which are often much more effective and safer than pills.
Before proceeding with acupressure according to this technique, answer these questions:
1. Do you have the patience daily for many months do this massage to your child?
2. Are you always find time for it?
If at least one of the questions made you think, then this method is not for you. Yes, the results of its use are simply amazing: massage helps to cure many diseases, the child simply stops getting sick, becomes much calmer, sleeps and eats better, develops physically faster. But the method works only with regular use. If you start and then quit, you will only disorganize the baby's immune system. Acupressure should become a habit, like washing your face in the morning.
If you answered “yes” to all questions without hesitation, then your determination to seriously engage in the development of your baby is respected. You just have to learn the techniques and read the recommendations of A.A. Umanskaya.
point 1- the area of the entire sternum, which is associated with the mucous membrane of the trachea, bronchi, and bone marrow. When massaging this point, coughing decreases, blood formation improves. point 2- associated with the mucous membrane of the lower parts of the pharynx, larynx, as well as the thymus (thymus gland), which regulates the body's immune functions. Point 3- associated with special formations that 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. Massage of this point improves blood circulation, metabolism, hormone production. Point 4- associated with the mucous membrane of the posterior wall of the pharynx, larynx and the upper cervical sympathetic ganglion. Massaging this point activates the blood supply to the head, neck, and torso. Point 5- located in the region of 7 cervical and 1 thoracic vertebrae. It is connected with the mucous membrane 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 blood vessels, heart, bronchi, lungs. Point 6- associated with the anterior and middle lobes of the pituitary gland. Massage of this point improves the blood supply to the nasal mucosa, maxillary cavities, and most importantly the pituitary gland. Breathing through the nose becomes free, the runny nose disappears. Point 7- 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 the frontal parts of the brain. Vision improves, mental development is stimulated. Point 8- massage of this point, located in the region of the ear tragus, has a positive effect on the organ of hearing and the vestibular apparatus. Point 9- massage of this zone on the hands normalizes many functions of the body, tk. human hands through the cervical spinal cord and certain areas of the cerebral cortex are connected with all of the above points. |
How to influence bioactive points
Push down on the skin with the pads of one or more fingers. A weaker effect is for preventive purposes, the maximum is for therapeutic purposes. Then do rotational (like screw) movement - 9 times to the left, and the same number to the right - and go to the next zone. You can start counting "one and two, one and two" - this is exactly the range in which our autonomic nervous system works.
Symmetric zones 3 and 4 are massaged differently. To do this, simultaneously with two hands do rubbing movements fingers (always top to bottom!) from the back to the front of the neck.
Other symmetrical zones (6, 7, 8) also massage at the same time.
Order of influence
It is necessary to influence biozones in a certain order . Always start in zone 1 and then work your way up to zones 2, 3, etc. You cannot swap them, otherwise the effect of your classes will be incomplete. Each system of the body must “turn on” in a timely manner in order to influence other organs and systems.
The most problematic areas should be massaged more often. In order to detect them, conduct an examination of the baby's body: Gently, very gently press the area of the sternum, neck, face. spine, buttocks, arms and legs of the child. If the child does not respond to touch in any way, that is, behaves as usual, calmly, then we can assume that everything is in order in this area. If the child cries, tries to dodge, then no effort is needed. It is easy enough to touch one or another zone to understand whether it is really more sensitive than neighboring ones. Then special attention during massage - to her, until the reaction of the baby you understand that the pain has passed.
- Before starting classes with a child, you need to prepare a little: cut your nails, wash your hands thoroughly, lubricate them with a nourishing cream and warm them.
- Before applying the technique to your baby, try it on yourself first.
- You can start acupressure already on the 3rd day after birth. As the child grows, involve him in the procedure. From the age of 3 months, apply children's fingers to the biozones on the breast, neck, near the nose, ears and massage them together, count aloud. If you follow this recommendation, the baby will be able to influence his biozones on his own already at 7-8 months! It is never too late to start a massage, and if your child has grown up, read him a poem written by Alla Alekseevna at the same time as the massage. Such accompaniment will make the procedure an exciting game.

Dear readers!
Morning, you just woke up. Rub your palms together immediately to warm them up properly. Hands warmed up, blood ran through them - you can start the massage. Start in accordance with the numbering of points - the first, second and so on. Massage is performed in this way: with the tip of the index or middle finger, press on the area of the skin in the area of \u200b\u200bthe desired point until a slight soreness appears. Then do nine rotational movements clockwise and nine counter-clockwise. The duration of exposure to each point is at least 18-20 seconds. Gradually increase the intensity of exposure.
Symmetrical zones 3 and 4 are massaged differently: they make rubbing movements with fingers from top to bottom, from the back of the neck to the front, simultaneously with both hands. This, in particular, activates the work of the thyroid gland, which is an important point: today, our body - however, as well as a child's - due to the catastrophically deteriorating environmental situation, an unreasonable burden falls, the loads increase, and in order to resist them, it is necessary, for better functioning of the thyroid gland.
At the same time, make warm-up movements along the upper chest: with the palm of your right hand from the left shoulder to the right armpit and the left hand from the right shoulder to the left armpit. Other symmetrical zones - points six, seven and eight - also massage simultaneously with both hands.
Have a massage for yourself - take on a son or daughter. In total, two procedures will take you no more than fifteen to twenty minutes, and you will bring great benefits to yourself and your child: by stretching these parts of the body well, you will quickly mobilize the body's defenses in this way.
If you find in yourself or in a child points with increased or sharply reduced pain sensitivity, this is a signal of trouble in the body. For example, if a similar thing manifested itself during the massage of point 1, “breakdowns” in the hematopoietic system, as well as inflammation of the trachea and bronchi, are possible; if in the area of the second zone - you have a disorder with immunity, and so on. This means that these points need to be additionally massaged every forty minutes until the sensitivity is completely normalized.
It is best to do acupressure not only in the morning, but also during the day (if possible) and in the evening, that is, at least every five to six hours. In the morning, to quickly activate the body, you need to exert stronger pressure on the skin. Before going to bed, the effect is carried out with light, calm, non-intense movements, and it would be nice in combination with breathing exercises. By the way, such a massage in the evening perfectly prepares the child for sleep.
Very important advice: if, for example, there are flu patients in the family or there was an accidental contact with a flu patient on the street, in transport, at a party, it is necessary to increase the number of massage sessions - to conduct them every two to three hours. This greatly improves immunity, and therefore, it is much less likely that your child and you yourself will get sick.
Acupressure is contraindicated only when there are pustular skin lesions in the area of massage zones, as well as moles, warts, neoplasms.

Acupressure for children is a set of manual activities aimed at directly activating the "vital" points of the body to improve the functioning of the musculoskeletal system and individual organs of the child's body.
The technology of acupressure has been known since ancient times - it was used by ancient and Chinese healers. The main principle here is the impact on certain points on the body that are responsible for the functioning of organs and entire systems.
Alternative to classical treatment
Acupressure for children refers to alternative medicine and involves non-drug forms of combating ailments and preventing various diseases. The roots of technology originated in ancient China and are based on the doctrine of Qi energy - the fundamental power of all living things.
The first treatises describing this technology date back to 2000 BC. Ancient healers believed that the energy flow can be directly influenced by activating individual points on the surface of the body.
Modern alternative studies show that all the described 365 points described in the manuscripts actually have a number of features, in particular, high electrical potential, sensitivity, temperature, as well as low electrical skin resistance and increased oxygen uptake by the epithelium.
What is it needed for?
They say that regular massage of specific points charges the child with positive energy, improves immunity, and also helps to overcome problems with individual organs, as well as systems, including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, endocrine, etc.
In addition, acupressure helps to normalize the functioning of the whole organism, and is also a comprehensive alternative means of preventing various diseases.
Naturally, only a professional massage therapist can fully master the technology of such a massage and know absolutely all energy points, but at home you can master the simplest exercises that do not require special knowledge and specialization.
How to do acupressure?
Before starting the main activities, you should be aware of contraindications: a child should not be given acupressure if he has a fever, skin is damaged, or benign or malignant formations are located in the massage area - acne, warts and moles.
It is best to perform sessions at a time when the baby feels good, calm and not hungry. At the same time, try to combine procedures with game actions, communicate with your child, sing songs to him, comment on actions in a joking manner.
The main manual techniques during acupressure include deep pressure on the points with your fingers, ordinary pressure on the area with the pad of your finger or palm, as well as light touches and stroking. At the same time, try to act on the points carefully and direct the main force perpendicular to the surface. Also use vibrational and rotating movements along the horizontal arrow, stroke at an accessible pace, but do not change it by performing manipulations continuously. If you perform manipulations in a fast rhythm, then the massage will be tonic, if in a slow one, then it will be calming.
The duration of manipulation in a specific area is about one minute. At least two massage sessions should be performed daily. If possible, apply baby cream on your hands before manipulations so that they can easily glide over the baby's body.
Basic exercises in the treatment of acupressure
- For breathing. To improve and normalize breathing, evenly rub the baby's chest from top to bottom. The number of manipulations is about twenty.
- For the gastrointestinal tract. Perform a series of circular rubbing in the tummy in a clockwise direction - this helps get rid of the gas and stimulates digestion. The number of manipulations is 20–25.
- For the lower extremities. Lay the baby face down. Perform rubbing from the thigh to the heel and back - ten manipulations each. Take the baby’s leg in the “ring” with the index and thumb and make girths from the ankle to the base of the leg (several “passes” back and forth).
- Fortifying. Start massaging the baby's handle, starting from the center of the wrist and moving towards the fingers, rubbing movements to the sides (in the form of the rays of the sun). Five dozen manipulations with each hand are enough.
- For brain development. With your thumbs, make gentle sliding pressure from the bottom up from the brow thin on the baby's head to the hairline. It is necessary to perform two sets of 25 times.
- Against colds. Place one hand on the forehead of the baby, the second with the help of the index and thumb, massage the back of the baby's neck. Next, start smoothing the neck from the middle to the ears with all your fingers. The last step is massaging the points behind the ears using circular motions. In total, this complex is repeated three times fifteen manipulations.
- To normalize the functioning of the nervous system. Using your thumb, lightly stroke the sole of your baby's foot, following the center line from heel to toe, in a spiral motion. Only five passes there and back.
- Activation of the immune system and the work of the genitourinary system. Pull the skin on the baby's buttocks a little with your index and thumb fingers and roll it from the beginning of the legs to the back. A total of five sets of 2 times.

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.

Massage of biologically active points for children
This massage of biologically active points for children helps to reduce swelling of the nasopharyngeal mucosa, clear the paranasal sinuses from the contents, and normalize breathing. It is necessary to master the implementation of a number of techniques.
Nose wings massage:
- i.p. child - lying on his back (if the baby is very weak) or sitting on a chair, or standing (massage is performed by one of the adults or the baby himself). Massage is performed with soft circular movements of the middle phalanges of bent index fingers with a rotation frequency of up to 250 rpm.
In this case, the child inhales through the mouth, and exhales strongly and continuously through the 2nd nose. During the massage, the nostrils are periodically clamped for a moment so that the air goes with force into the paranasal sinuses. With a profuse runny nose, the procedure is interrupted so that the child clears his nose. The duration of the massage is 1 - 1.5 minutes, until the patient feels warmth and unusually light breathing.
You can also use self-massage. In this case, the action is performed by the lateral surface of the main phalanges of the thumbs.
Facial massage under the eyes (from nose to ears) and forehead:
- i.p. child, as in "a"; And. n. parent - sitting on a chair or standing behind the patient. Under the eyes, massage with palms, starting from the wrist joint with the middle fingers of both hands. The forehead is massaged in the same way, only with four fingers of both hands. Massage is carried out in the form of a combination of movements: soft stroking, biting rubbing, soft stroking. Duration - up to 30 seconds or until a feeling of pleasant warmth appears. The same goes for self-massage.
Forehead skin massage:
- i.p. child and parent, as in technique "b". Rubbing with the palm pads of four fingers of one hand is carried out with quick circular movements (up to 300 rpm), reaching a feeling of real heat at each point of the forehead perimeter. The other hand, removing the hair from the forehead, supports the child's head. Duration - 30 seconds.
The same goes for self-massage. When massaged on the face, young children often protest. In this case, the massage is carried out in the form of a game, gradually accustoming the child to the procedure. Due to the fact that the skin of the face in children is very delicate, one should try to spare it and avoid painful areas. You may experience mild dizziness, which passes in a matter of seconds without harmful consequences.
After finishing the facial massage, wash your face with four handfuls of cold water, then inhale four handfuls of water through your nose, clearing your nose each time, and gargle four times. Massage will reliably protect any child from a cold, no matter how weakened and pampered he may be.
