Massage Therapy As A Physical-Psychological Intervention Strategy In A Patient With Cerebral Palsy

Abstract

Cerebral palsy refers to a neurological disorder that produces alterations of motor control of early onset and not of progressive character. Now, according to etiology, Ruiz and Arteaga [1] also delimit the different factors or causes that can produce cerebral palsy, according to prenatal (during the baby's gestation), perinatal (during the baby's birth) and postnatal (after birth, before the brain reaches its full maturity) factors. The health personnel as well as the person in charge of the patient must work together to detect or decode the patient's needs, which turns the work into a symbolism that must be worked on and reinforced without exceptions, since it is what links us to the patient and the patient to us.
