Rehabilitation for Anxiety at Boya Clinic

Heightened anxiety in a child is not cowardice and not a character trait to be overcome. It is a state in which the nervous system is almost permanently on guard: an unfamiliar room, a new person, a changed routine are all read as a threat. The child refuses to enter the room, hides behind a parent, freezes — or, on the contrary, screams and runs away. Anxiety often speaks through the body: difficulty falling asleep, restless sleep, refusing food, complaints of stomach ache. In children with ASD, developmental delay, and sensory difficulties this kind of tension is especially common: the less a child understands what is happening and can explain what they need, the higher the background level of anxiety.

Boya Hospital (Yuncheng, Shanxi Province) addresses anxiety not as a separate diagnosis but as part of the child's overall picture, within pediatric neurological rehabilitation. The course runs at an intensive pace — 6–9 sessions a day, 6 days a week — and that pace itself is built to be predictable: the same specialists, a familiar sequence of procedures, a clear schedule. The program includes sensory integration (working with overload from sound, touch, and movement), occupational therapy and exercise therapy, pediatric Tui Na massage, acupuncture, moxibustion therapy, and herbal compresses — procedures that release muscular and emotional tension. The exact program is selected by the doctor.

What a course actually changes

An honest framing: rehabilitation does not remove fears and does not replace help from a specialist doctor if the child's condition is severe. It does something else — it lowers background overload, builds a clear daily rhythm, and gives the child an experience of success: yesterday this room was frightening, today it is familiar; here is a procedure they got through; here is a skill that worked out. Calm is built from small steps like these — gradually, without pressure and without forcing the pace. That is exactly why the recommended course length is 2–3 months.

How to start

Send us your child's documents — medical records, neurologist's reports, test results — and describe in your own words how the anxiety shows itself at home and what makes it worse. The hospital's doctor will review them and tell you what a course can realistically offer in your case. The document-based consultation is free and there is no prepayment: you pay on site and only for what your child has actually received.
