2. The psychological and neurological benefits of knitting in recovery
Needlework has a special place in the pastime of its guests, which is actively encouraged and recommended by our private geriatric boarding house. In the evenings, hobby groups come to life in the nursing home, when some guests play board games, while others, mostly the female half of the guests, do needlework.
While knitting, the person practicing it plunges into a trance that is healing for the damaged psyche. This is facilitated by the monotonous rhythm of the entraining process and repetitive movements. Fingers make the same combinations, and thoughts and emotions are free, so the mind is in a calm and balanced state.
2. 1. An important part of any rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation always includes several methods, they allow you to make it more effective.
- Therapeutic massage (arms and legs, cervical, thoracic and lumbar areas of the spine, back, abdomen, head);
- Classes on special stands, allowing you to restore the ability to fine motor skills and memorization of cause-and-effect chains with a weakened consciousness;
- Walks in the open air;
- Psychoneurological and social restoration of normal life.
2. 2 Why is creative work important for quick rehabilitation?
Creative realization helps people who are sincerely involved in needlework to relieve accumulated stress and finally relax. If the guests of the nursing home knit woolen threads of bright colors 3 or more 3 times a week, then anxiety is significantly reduced, depression and insomnia recede, and frustration gradually fades away.
Knowing this fact, it becomes quite clear the meaning of teaching various types of needlework in the old days. Creative work with hands brings a sense of emotional balance to an enthusiastic person and pacifies the negative tendencies of the psyche. Knitting can bring only positive dynamics to the life of the elderly, mitigating many psycho-emotional symptoms of neurological pathologies.
