摘要：Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder characterized by inattention, restlessness, impulsivitythat can lead to emotional and relationship issues, as well as poor school performance. The treatment of children with ADHD involves a multiple approach, involving psychosocial and psychopharmacological interventions,and requires a coordinated effort among health professionals together with educators and parents. The aim of this study was to analyse the massage therapist and mother’s perception about the effectiveness of Tui Na massage in a child’s behavior with ADHD. This is a descriptive case study with qualitative approach. Data were collected through a semistructured interview which was recorded, transcribed and subjected to content analysis. The massage was a way of complementary treatment important in improving ADHD symptomatology,letting the child calmer, more relaxed, focused and sociable, improving his family and social relationship. It is believed that the touch provided by massage technique has been a major tool to create a link between therapist and child-family-school by strengthening the necessary trust for the establishment of positive social relationship.
