Just the process of moving raises the level of arousal.
When used under a strict regime of observation, with severely disabled children (such as those with Cerebral Palsy) or adults having serious attention deficits, message can be a very useful tool to raise arousal and improve perception.
Particularly, the bottom of one's feet or the palms of one's hands are excellent points for message, as well as the more conventional shoulders and back areas.
Kinesthetic: Just the process of moving energizes the reticular activating system and hence raises our level of arousal and perceptual organization.
In the old days in the elementary grades, when we didn't have a Physical Education (PE) program, the teacher would make us march around our row of desks once or twice a day.
Despite our resentment of this seemingly ridiculous exercise, it did raise our level of arousal for at least an hour or so.
