Because of the effect of breathing on circulation and oxygen delivery, breathing quality is involved in all the following symptoms
This is why Breathing quality matters to children with epilepsy.
The gentle pulsing pressures of TST 'massage' therapy over the diaphragm are designed to strengthen the respiratory muscles and provide children with epilepsy with more mature breathing patterns which are therefore more responsive to the varied oxygen demands of daily living.
Parents report overall reductions in their children’s seizure activity and in some cases that seizure activity has stopped altogether. Please look at the epilepsy section of our Parents' stories for more information.
