Hi Sharon

Where will the course be?

Re: Qigong Massage for autism? also Anat Baniel's movement therapy

Hi

That's really interesting! - I am just looking into organising a course at the charity I run supporting children with additional needs and their families in Tui Na Chinese massage which has been adapted to treat and benefit children with Autism. The practitioner tells me that he has spent some years developping this technique for our kids and he was involved in teaching these specific Tui na techniques to a couple of family friends with Autistic children and they all saw a change in children’s behaviour after being massaged for a certain period of time.

His says his aim is" to introduce this knowledge to other families in order to try and minimise the effects that Autism have on children, but also to unable parents and carers to learn a simple massage techniques that they

can do with their children and on each other, in order to try and help relieve symptoms and pressure that Autism brings to a family.

The

idea is to run a course where parents will be shown in detail how to safely massage their children without any risks, or side effects, at minimal cost and with a great hope that after the course and with their

commitment and regular massages both parents and children will see a benefit."

We're discussing him running a free trial course for 10 parents as part of his research and also an additional course if this is successful and we get good feedback from parents.

Hi Sharon Sounds good though! http://ultimateautismguide.com/2011/06/autism-news-tuina-methodology/ It says it is used alongside Qigong massage http://www.punkiespelts.com/2009/relief-for-autism-found-in-qigong-massage-therapy/ x To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: STRUIC1@...Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 09:50:02 -0400Subject: Re: Qigong Massage for autism? also Anat Baniel's movement therapy

Hi there

No, it's a form of chinese massage called Tui Na.

The article below says"Tui Na, often used in the practice of Qigong massage, focuses on pushing, stretching, and kneading the muscle rather than the pinching and pressing of acupressure points…"So really very similar? To me this reads that this Qigong 'autism' massage http://qsti.org/ actually uses Tui Na ways of pressing etc to address what needs addressing according to qigong principles. So this therapy http://qsti.org/ is basically Tui Na massage technique adapted to address issues specific to autism. Does that make sense?
