Dolphin Therapy Turkey

Dolphin therapy Turkey is a method that involves controlled and dosed interaction between people with special needs and dolphins to obtain a health effect.

Dolphin therapy is a new field of modern medicine that began in the late 1970. By studying dolphins, American scientists discovered that interacting with dolphins had a beneficial effect on the mental and physical health of humans. Later, scientific data was obtained confirming that swimming with dolphins helps in the treatment of different diseases.

The curative effect of dolphins is explained by different influencing factors directly associated with the nature of dolphins, with the psychological benefit of human and animal interaction as a main component.

When observing dolphins, a human feels that the so-called "movement expression" has a kinesthetic effect, producing a neuromuscular response to external agents that involves an attempt to repeat the full image of a muscular movement.

The dolphin echolocation system may be part of the reason behind how dolphin assisted therapy works. Dolphins act on humans as natural sonar that transmits ultrasound with an intensity of 8.3 Wt / cm2.

Emerged under the influence of echolocation of dolphins, chemical and electrical changes in a human body, and the increased release of hormones that penetrate through cell membranes activating cells promote intercellular metabolism.

Ultrasound of the same intensity can generate cavitation and phonophoresis processes in cells and tissues of the human body.

Cavitation is the formation of gas-filled bubbles (cavities) at low pressure in liquids and their immediate explosion. Shock waves formed by the explosion promote cells to release bioactive substances and stimulate the release of endorphins.

Cavitation produces the change of a cell membrane coefficient that creates conditions for sonophoresis: the increased flow of enzymes, specific hormones that penetrate cells, with the entry of sodium and calcium ions, and the release of potassium ions during This process. All of this produces beneficial chemical and electrical processes in a human body and explains the "pain-relieving" effect of interacting with dolphins.

The electrophysiological and behavioral changes stimulated by low-frequency electromagnetic oscillations, which are emitted by dolphins, can lead to an intensification of the thought process and communication activity.

By penetrating the tissues, micro-vibration induced by ultrasonic waves and audible range sounds (200–20000 Hz) emitted and produced by a dolphin can also selectively affect different biological structures.

During dolphin swimming, its differently directed movements and water flows modulated by its tail fin produce a beneficial effect of hydromassage for a patient.

Dolphins are social animals that live in groups called pods that explain the reason for their friendship with humans and their high communicability. The sociability of dolphins allows them to find various forms of communication, changing their behavior depending on the capacity and conditions of their interaction partner. A dolphin engages a child in the play process by drawing attention to itself and waiting for a response from the playmate. Play therapy, as is known, is one of the important methods of recovering mental function in children.

The mutual interest of a child and a dolphin and the attraction of each other is only the stimuli for mental, speech, and physical development in children. The Dolphin Therapy Turkey becomes a friend to the child and a starting point for all further beneficial changes is the close interaction between them.
