The RSA diaphragmatic breathing method
RSA is a training method with which it is possible to achieve synchronisation of heart action with breathing. RSA - respiratory sinus arrhythmia, a differentiated heart action, difference between pulse during inhalation and exhalation. RSA is an index of human health. RSA is an identity of biological age. The state-of-art device and software allows to evaluate the health condition by monitoring and measurements of RSA. The RSA training, with the use of devices from St. Petersburg, is conducted with specialist equipment which registers heart electric action (ECG) and separates hearth rhythm (HR) of a human in real time as well as measures respiratory frequency. The dedicated software reflects the measured values in an understandable and attractive for a patient multimedia form on the computer. The set RSA Health is configured according to a specific therapeutic-educational method by a Russian scientist - physiologist, Alexander Smetankin. The program automatically calculates the task goal (steps) in the real time for each person individually, introduces balance into the patient’s psycho-emotional condition, in an interesting manner, teaches relaxation and optimal breathing which is necessary for acquisition of new knowledge prior to the commencement of each therapy, rehabilitation or learning. The entire course of the therapy is performed under the supervision of a certified therapist.
RSA means teaching children, adults and pregnant women to breath with their diaphragm. It results in development of adaptive possibilities in our body, activation of defensive functions as well as achievement of homeostasis, i.e. natural balance in the body. The RSA Health Lesson combines the elements of education, health prophylaxis, therapy (ADHD, asthma, stress, speech therapy, psycho-emotional disorders).
RSA “Health” effectively teaches optimal breathing and relaxation necessary for acquisition of new knowledge as well as prior to the commencement of any type of therapy, rehabilitation or learning. Upon training, the balance of basic nervous processes improves, sensory channels connected with information acquisition open, body overload ceases, defensive functions are activated.
During the educational-therapeutical classes, we train the more important body functions (heart, breath, nervous and immune system), we develop adaptive possibilities, improve health by activating body reserves. A trained habit of diaphragmatic-relaxation breath type with maximum RSA according to the Method of A. Smetankin - is an indicator of harmony of heartbeat and breath.
