Locating and Understanding the Roots of Physical Tension (Tension Deficit Disorder)


Physical tension (Tension Deficit Disorder) can usually occur due to a malfunction in a motor or sensory system. In most cases, when tension is present, it builds up in muscles and causes varied functional difficulties. From difficulty in motor skills to emotional tension which can break out in different ways.

In most cases, physical tension is mistakenly interpreted by professionals, and the diagnosis can be misleading, for example:

• Continuous and constant tension

• Behavioral difficulties

• Impulsiveness

• Focus and concentration difficulties

• Various learning difficulties such as ADHD-ADD

• Social difficulties

• Low self esteem, self image, and more.

The symptoms that pinpoint to Tension (Tension Deficit Disorder) are:

1. Is there constant movement of limbs noticeable? (arms and/or legs)

2. Is the child active non-stop throughout the day until he falls asleep? (Cannot enter the sleep process gradually, but keeps active up to the stage of increased fatigue and "falls" to sleep.)

3. Is reading found difficult, and/or a slow reader, and/or difficulty in understanding the topic being read, and/or reading as a tiring task?

4. Is there noticeable difficulty in writing fast and clearly, and/or is there a sense of pain in fingers while writing, and/or writing as a tiring task, and/or finding writing a frustrating task?

5. Is emotional hypersensitivity noticeable? (Difficulty modulating the intensity of emotional reactions, and/or impulsiveness, and/or crying is easily triggered, and/or disproportionate reactions to various events.)

6. Are difficulty modulating senses noticeable, and/or hypersensitivity to smells, noises, touch, light and flavors? Is there difficulty being in crowded, noisy or closed spaces?

7. Is difficulty and/or dislike playing ball games noticeable, difficulty playing with a few children at once, slow-moving or clumsy, finding physical activity excessively tiring, feeling tense and maybe anxious after physical activity, trouble getting up vigorously in the morning, not wanting to go to school?

Answering yes to one or more of the upper questions could point out a malfunction in one or more physical systems that are meant to allow easy and enjoyable function. In that case, during specific activity the body creates tension (Tension Deficit Disorder), which leads to the above mentioned difficulties.

If the malfunctioning system is correctly identified, and is trained to a state of matured neural networks, in most cases the mentioned symptoms will improve drastically, and/or disappear

Without medication.

The systems that need examination in order to determine whether the Tension (Tension Deficit Disorder) is caused by physical difficulty are:

a. Gross motor skills - the cross limbs ability

b. Fine motor skills, mainly the ability to separate movement between fingers and both hands, both hands at once and each separately.

c. Controlled, exact and conscious eye muscle movement.

d. The entire sensory system (hyper/hypo sensitivity).

e. Conscious use or the respiratory system while performing motor, sensorial, emotional and cognitive tasks and while resting.

f. Grapho motor ability in both hands separately and simultaneously.

g. The ability to integrate between motor skills and breathing, thinking and controlling emotions.

In these examinations (mentioned in detail in the book "Intelligence Integration") the specific cause of the tension (Tension Deficit Disorder) can be found. Finding the physical cause enables a training plan to be built that will release the trainee of physical tension without medication, therefore allowing optimal daily function.

Physical and Alternative Therapies for ADHD


Four and a half million American children aged between five and seventeen have been diagnosed with ADHD since 2006. The symptoms vary from one child to another and certain symptoms may be more pronounced in one child than it is in another child, depending on the type of ADHD that the child has. Generally, the symptoms could include overactivity, uncontrollable behavior, impulsivity, and the inability to remain focused.

Some medical doctors like to prescribe medications while naturopaths advocate natural remedies, such as mineral supplements that have proven helpful for the condition. In addition to any herbal or pharmaceutical medicines, research has shown that physical therapy can be very beneficial. It is suggested that parents exhaust all other options before settling for drugs.

Since there is a link between sensory integration disorder and ADHD, sensory integration is one of the therapies on offer to help improve hyperactivity, impulsiveness and restlessness. Strenuous exercise and deep pressure are some of the methods used. Research has shown that kids who receive sensory intervention therapy are better able to pay attention in noisy classrooms and generally more at ease.

The therapy will depend on the type of behavior which is most pronoounced. The exercise ball, swings and gentle or deep brushing of the skin are some of the most common therapies.

Occupational therapy is used to improve school performance by helping the child to learn self-management techniques. Sensory integration therapy stimulates the five senses in a regulated manner. The patient is assisted in effectively organizing the sensory information and interpreting it correctly.

The alertness is regulated with self-regulation techniques which helps the child to better concentrate on the task at hand. Programs exist for both adults and children alike.

As part of the intervention, the sensory input is managed along with the regulation of alertness levels. This helps the child to easily regain focus after a break and to help him or her maintain concentration during the day.

It is recommended that ADHD kids take part in physical activities such as organized sports. Sports provide an appropriate outlet for all that hyperactive energy.

Diagnosing ADHD and Autism Using Treatment Methods That Help Resolve Physical Compromise


Diagnosing ADHD and Autism is clearly the preliminary step to their treatment. Yet vice versa, an effective yet specific treatment can help in confirming and diagnosing ADHD and Autism, by virtue of its results. By definition a test is an assessment intended to measure a test-taker's knowledge or skill in a topic or topics. A performance test is an assessment that requires an examinee to actually perform a measurable task or activity or produce a predictable response to the experience offered by the examiner.

Researchers in two separate studies have concluded that hyperactivity in the brain in children with ADHD is causative in an inability of these children to control impulsive hand movements. A study of mirror hand movements on children with ADHD showed that testing the non-dominant hand (successively tapping each finger of that hand to the thumb) produced twice as many mirrored hand movements in the other hand during the test. This was four times more predominant in boys with ADHD than boys without the condition. "The findings reveal that even at an unconscious level, these children are struggling with controlling and inhibiting unwanted actions and behavior," researcher Stewart Mostofsky, MD, of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders at the Kennedy Krieger Institute of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, says in a news release. Another finding is that on motor development tests, children with ADHD and Autism also scored nearly 60% worse.

The cranium or skull is made up of several flat bones joined at the sutures (joints) to make up the cranial vault that houses the brain. The sutures allow for movement between the cranial bones. Dr. John Upledger, DO, developer of craniosacral therapy and founder of the Upledger Institute in Florida discovered that the craniums, especially the temporal bones (these are located on either the side of the head and commonly known as the temples) of children with ADHD and Autism are very tight with little or no movement between the cranial bones. This could explain the hyperactivity if the brain, in its wait to break free from this entrapment. Releasing the cranium, with special focus on the temporal bones at their sutural link to the sphenoid in front, the parietal bones above and the occiput behind, is all that it takes to set free the cranial vault in order to decrease the pressure on the internal milieu of the brain. This has such a powerful effect, that some of these children have even been able to integrate into normal classrooms.

The method described above is known as craniosacral therapy and along with lymph drainage therapy and visceral manipulation, more or less completes the circle of healing (sensory integration is also an important treatment here but falls outside the confines of this topic). Lymph drainage therapy offers relief through drainage of the dura, a tissue that completely encases the brain and spinal cord. This technique helps in decongesting the brain and brings relief from pressure. Visceral Manipulation helps to reduce gastrointestinal problems. These treatments help to:

1. Rebalance the nervous system in the release of both temporal bones resulting in improvement in language, learning and focus/ attention, eye contact, social interaction and reduced sleep difficulties.

2. Improve motor control.

3. Improve intestinal health to reduce gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea or constipation) and ease up toilet training.

Diagnosing ADHD and Autism will soon be based on clear and specific clinical symptoms rather than being labeled as spectrum disorder. Just from this article it is obvious that among others, the following three symptoms are specifically present in these children.

1. Mirrored hand movements.

2. Delayed milestones. This may vary from very mild to more severe.

3. Tight cranial sutures.

Since "the proof of the pudding is in the eating", the very fact that predictable results are obtained with craniosacral therapy, lymph drainage and visceral manipulation confirms that these are powerful tools in diagnosing ADHD and Autism. The value in diagnosing ADHD and Autism is that it will allow management via diet control, drug therapy and special schooling to give these children the best opportunities available to break free and come into their own to live a full life.

Autism Behaviors - Physical Components


Over the years it has become better understood how different wiring can contribute to conditions like Autism. As far back as 1998, if not farther, people were talking about brains with faulty wiring. Through the research and understanding developed over the years faulty wiring has become understood as different wiring.

What is frustrating to parents is the fact that our children look the same as other children. It is not until our children react to a situation that we realize something is dramatically different. There are also the children with Autism who are only affected a little and do not have that dramatic response. In some ways they are more difficult to deal with.

Children with Autism may respond to the typical everyday sights and sounds with pain and discomfort. They may also have trouble controlling large and small muscles. They may have trouble doing different activities that children of a particular age can do easily. Skills from zipping, buttoning, writing, coloring, or any other activity may be a problem.

Fortunately whole system around these problems has been developed. This system is composed of activities parents can easily do on a regular basis. The activities can be taught to friends, grandparents, and other relatives as well. This system is called Sensory Integration.

Well meaning professionals tell parents to employ firmer discipline with their child. They tell parents to maintain a stricter schedule or keep a better handle on their diet or television watching. All of these ideas and more are beneficial to many children. The parent of a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) knows there must be more.

Although all of these things and then some more may easily help a typical child, they do not gain a significant handle on children with ASD. The overlooked component is the physical. Sensory Integration seeks to build a structured framework to start addressing the physical/brain components of raising a child with Autism.

Pediatric Physical Therapy Services


Pediatric physical therapy services are meant for treating congenital disorders, non congenital disorders and even developmental delays of children. Pediatric physical therapy is helpful in detecting the health problems of children in the earlier stages itself. Pediatric therapists are specialized in diagnosing, treating and managing infants and children having developmental, congenital, skeletal, and neuromuscular diseases.

Such type of treatment focuses mainly on improving coordination and balance, motor skills, endurance and strength. It also aims at improving processing/integration at the cognitive and sensory levels. This includes developmental milestones such as standing, sitting, walking and crawling. Reputable healthcare centers ensure that they have the best, experienced and licensed therapists to provide pediatric physical therapy services.

The duration for treatment varies in children. Children who are reluctant walkers or those having injuries may need only short term physical therapy treatment. In some cases, if the child has a developmental delay, the treatment may have to be given for a longer duration of time.

Torticollis, cerebral palsy and spina bifida which are diseases found in children, are effectively treated by physical therapy treatments. Torticollis is a condition in which the sternocleidomastoid muscle of the neck is shortened. This condition will result in limited neck motion. There are effective exercises and techniques for treating this condition. Spina bifida, a neural tube defect affecting children, also has effective treatment using physical methods. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder seen in infants. This disorder can permanently affect muscle coordination and body movement.

Physical and Alternative Therapies for ADHD


Four and a half million American children aged between five and seventeen have been diagnosed with ADHD since 2006. The symptoms vary from one child to another and certain symptoms may be more pronounced in one child than it is in another child, depending on the type of ADHD that the child has. Generally, the symptoms could include overactivity, uncontrollable behavior, impulsivity, and the inability to remain focused.

Some medical doctors like to prescribe medications while naturopaths advocate natural remedies, such as mineral supplements that have proven helpful for the condition. In addition to any herbal or pharmaceutical medicines, research has shown that physical therapy can be very beneficial. It is suggested that parents exhaust all other options before settling for drugs.

Since there is a link between sensory integration disorder and ADHD, sensory integration is one of the therapies on offer to help improve hyperactivity, impulsiveness and restlessness. Strenuous exercise and deep pressure are some of the methods used. Research has shown that kids who receive sensory intervention therapy are better able to pay attention in noisy classrooms and generally more at ease.

The therapy will depend on the type of behavior which is most pronoounced. The exercise ball, swings and gentle or deep brushing of the skin are some of the most common therapies.

Occupational therapy is used to improve school performance by helping the child to learn self-management techniques. Sensory integration therapy stimulates the five senses in a regulated manner. The patient is assisted in effectively organizing the sensory information and interpreting it correctly.

The alertness is regulated with self-regulation techniques which helps the child to better concentrate on the task at hand. Programs exist for both adults and children alike.

As part of the intervention, the sensory input is managed along with the regulation of alertness levels. This helps the child to easily regain focus after a break and to help him or her maintain concentration during the day.

It is recommended that ADHD kids take part in physical activities such as organized sports. Sports provide an appropriate outlet for all that hyperactive energy.

Locating and Understanding the Roots of Physical Tension (Tension Deficit Disorder)


Physical tension (Tension Deficit Disorder) can usually occur due to a malfunction in a motor or sensory system. In most cases, when tension is present, it builds up in muscles and causes varied functional difficulties. From difficulty in motor skills to emotional tension which can break out in different ways.

In most cases, physical tension is mistakenly interpreted by professionals, and the diagnosis can be misleading, for example:

• Continuous and constant tension

• Behavioral difficulties

• Impulsiveness

• Focus and concentration difficulties

• Various learning difficulties such as ADHD-ADD

• Social difficulties

• Low self esteem, self image, and more.

The symptoms that pinpoint to Tension (Tension Deficit Disorder) are:

1. Is there constant movement of limbs noticeable? (arms and/or legs)

2. Is the child active non-stop throughout the day until he falls asleep? (Cannot enter the sleep process gradually, but keeps active up to the stage of increased fatigue and "falls" to sleep.)

3. Is reading found difficult, and/or a slow reader, and/or difficulty in understanding the topic being read, and/or reading as a tiring task?

4. Is there noticeable difficulty in writing fast and clearly, and/or is there a sense of pain in fingers while writing, and/or writing as a tiring task, and/or finding writing a frustrating task?

5. Is emotional hypersensitivity noticeable? (Difficulty modulating the intensity of emotional reactions, and/or impulsiveness, and/or crying is easily triggered, and/or disproportionate reactions to various events.)

6. Are difficulty modulating senses noticeable, and/or hypersensitivity to smells, noises, touch, light and flavors? Is there difficulty being in crowded, noisy or closed spaces?

7. Is difficulty and/or dislike playing ball games noticeable, difficulty playing with a few children at once, slow-moving or clumsy, finding physical activity excessively tiring, feeling tense and maybe anxious after physical activity, trouble getting up vigorously in the morning, not wanting to go to school?

Answering yes to one or more of the upper questions could point out a malfunction in one or more physical systems that are meant to allow easy and enjoyable function. In that case, during specific activity the body creates tension (Tension Deficit Disorder), which leads to the above mentioned difficulties.

If the malfunctioning system is correctly identified, and is trained to a state of matured neural networks, in most cases the mentioned symptoms will improve drastically, and/or disappear

Without medication.

The systems that need examination in order to determine whether the Tension (Tension Deficit Disorder) is caused by physical difficulty are:

a. Gross motor skills - the cross limbs ability

b. Fine motor skills, mainly the ability to separate movement between fingers and both hands, both hands at once and each separately.

c. Controlled, exact and conscious eye muscle movement.

d. The entire sensory system (hyper/hypo sensitivity).

e. Conscious use or the respiratory system while performing motor, sensorial, emotional and cognitive tasks and while resting.

f. Grapho motor ability in both hands separately and simultaneously.

g. The ability to integrate between motor skills and breathing, thinking and controlling emotions.

In these examinations (mentioned in detail in the book "Intelligence Integration") the specific cause of the tension (Tension Deficit Disorder) can be found. Finding the physical cause enables a training plan to be built that will release the trainee of physical tension without medication, therefore allowing optimal daily function.
