Lyapko applicators and treatment of children

What are Lyapko application devices

The action of Lyapko's application devices is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine - superficial multi-needle acupuncture.

The high healing effect of Lyapko's application devices is due to a combination of intense reflex, galvano-electrical and immunological properties.

This is expressed in the stimulation of biologically active points, which helps to increase immunity and improve blood circulation. In addition, the effect of UAL develops tactile perception, improves the concentration of the child's attention, stimulates the speech and thinking functions, and corrects posture.

Moderate irritation of sensitive endings, concentrated at certain points of the skin, muscles and other tissues, normalizes the strength, mobility and balance of the processes of excitation and inhibition. It is not limited only to the area of a particular point or nerve, but often has a beneficial effect on organs remote from the site of exposure, and on the entire human body as a whole.

Lyapko application devices are elastic plates, rollers, tapes and belts made of rubber for medical purposes, with needles fixed on it. UAL needles consist of metals necessary for the body: zinc, copper, iron, nickel and silver. In the rubber base around the needles and along the edges of the UAL there are restrictive protrusions that increase the stability and reliability of the fastening of the needles, protecting the skin from damage. It is especially important that the needles, in contact with the skin, do not damage it. They are sharpened in such a way as to exclude damage to the epidermis.

Lyapko's application devices act on skin receptors, points and reflex zones, causing adequate reactions of the body. They include the immune system in work, give it additional strength to successfully fight the disease. In addition, the mechanism of multiple injections of biologically active points located on the skin is activated, which, summed up, give the command to the pituitary gland to release endorphins - the body's natural painkillers. Thus, in contact with the skin, the needles stimulate the release of internal medicines of a person, including the "internal doctor" in the work.

As a result of the use of Lyapko's application devices, the activity of the musculoskeletal system, nervous, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory, urogenital, immune and endocrine systems is normalized. UAL is widely used not only in the treatment and prevention of diseases of all organs and systems, both in adults and children, but it is also a means to restore vitality, good mood and performance.

Upon contact with the skin, on the surface of the needles of the Lyapko application device, many physical and chemical changes occur, which are associated with the occurrence of galvanic currents. Galvanization improves metabolism, enhances recovery processes, has a resolving effect, helps the production of biologically active substances, reduces pain and tactile sensitivity of the skin.

Lyapko application devices have no side effects and are approved by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for use in medical practice, protected by Ukrainian, Russian and international patents, certified in accordance with international quality standards. The method of treatment with Lyapko application devices is included in textbooks for students and teachers of higher educational institutions on physical rehabilitation, physical education, as well as doctors and specialists in sports medicine and kinesiotherapy.

Massage Features

The massage technique for children of different ages has differences in the duration of manipulations and their complication with each subsequent month.

For example:

From 0 to 1 month. At this age, massage is necessary to normalize muscle tone, active weight gain, and increase joint mobility.

From 1 to 3 months. If up to one month only stroking movements were carried out, then after one month you can already add rubbing and vibrating exercises for the baby. The general strengthening complex should begin and end with strokes.

At 6 months, at 1 year, massage techniques become more complicated.

Massage duration

The first massage session should be no more than 5 minutes, gradually its duration should be increased to half an hour. Everything will depend on how long the baby will behave calmly and not be capricious.

It is not recommended to massage an infant in such cases:

Less than three weeks old.

Massage for a small child is always pleasant, useful and necessary in the first months of life. Mom can always do a massage on her own, surrounding the baby with her care, affection and protection.

Preparing for a manual massage

Before the massage, to warm up the skin and relieve muscle tension, it is recommended to roll the back through a thin tissue along the spine on both sides with the “Facial Roller M” for 2-3 minutes (for the appearance of a pink color).

For older children, “Facial Roller M” , “Universal Roller M” work on the skin, without the use of oils (rubber is not oil-resistant, it will deteriorate from contact with oil). Then oil is applied to the body and a manual massage is done.

Rolling over the body can be a separate pleasant procedure without subsequent manual massage. The impact is made on the outer side of the limbs and on the back. The pressure is light, the movements are uniform along the entire length.

intestinal colic

In the first three months of life, more than 70% of children have functional intestinal colic. In the vast majority of cases, these colic are not a pathology (disease), but an adaptation of the baby's gastrointestinal tract to new conditions.

All parents are familiar with this picture: against the background of feeding or shortly after it, the baby suddenly begins to draw his legs to the tummy, show anxiety, and then blushes sharply and starts screaming.

This situation may continue for a long time. This is "intestinal colic".

To relieve colic, you can use Facial Roller M or a small applicator "Kraplinka" . Procedures are carried out through cotton fabric. With a roller, gently roll the tummy in a clockwise direction for several minutes until slight hyperemia (redness) appears. Then put the baby on the tummy and roll the middle and lower sections of the back with a roller. In the same way, we act with Lyapko's small applicators: alternately (clockwise!) Applying it to the tummy around the navel, so that a square is obtained. The pressure of the applicator should be gentle, without effort. Carry out the procedure between feedings or before feeding. It is very effective to massage with applicators before bathing.

The main thing to remember is that all this is passing, with the correct use of all the recommendations, this period can pass quite easily and not overshadow the joys of the first months of motherhood!

Colds

To prevent colds during hypothermia on a walk, you can run in the “Universal Roller M” , “Large Roller M” (depending on age) the entire body of the child, necessarily the feet, hands for 5-7 minutes, until a uniformly pink color appears.

During a cold, when coughing, the applicator can be used as a mustard plaster on the back and on the sternum, the exposure time is 10-15 minutes, until the skin turns red.

When coughing, you can also use the applicator "Chance", "Chamomile M" , "Insoles Plus" , belt "Baby" on the interscapular region.

To improve vision

To improve vision In pediatric practice, the use of the applicator belt "Universal M"on the eye area is recommended under the supervision of adults from 5 years of age. It is indicated in the complex treatment of mild and moderate amblyopia. Attention! The child first needs to be encouraged by his own example: in the presence of the child, the mother puts the “Universal M” belt on her closed eyes. By this she shows that it is safe and not painful. At the same time, it is important to describe to the child your pleasant feelings and the usefulness of such a procedure. Everything can take place in the form of a game, sitting or lying down. After that, the mother gently applies the applicator several times to the child's closed eyes. When the child calms down, gets used to new sensations and understands that it is safe, the belt can be fixed for literally 1 minute. At the same time, it is necessary to hold the child by the hand so that he feels the physical presence of his mother and be sure to talk to him (you can read fairy tales, remember something pleasant for the child or draw visual images).
