Effect of Meridian Growth Massage on Stress Resistance and Corrected Body Shapes of Students in Growth Period

This study conducted a precise analysis of body shapes and an analysis of brainwaves of 40 students who visited the B center in S city, from August, 2017 to October, 2017, in accordance with the theoryarguing that it is possible to improve or prevent anti-stress or corrected body shapes through growth massage of elementary school children in growth period. In order to examine an effect of the growth massage on corrected body shapes and reduction of stress based on the analyzed data, this study analyzed differences in brain functions and body shapes of experimental(n=20) and control group(n=20) between pre- and post-growth massage. The growth massage was conducted twice in a week, in 30‐minute sessions. These patients were measured by timeseries linear analysis for their brain function and observed via brainwave activities. The findings are as follows: First, the stress resistance in experimental group is higher than that in control group. Second body shapes in experimental group is significantly corrected, compared with those in control group. The findings show that the growth massage reduces stress, an important obstruction factor for height growth of students in growth period, and therefore has a positive effect on corrected body shapes.
