This at-home relaxation and pain relief technique is guided by UCSF’s Dr. Stefan Friedrichsdorf, an internationally recognized specialist in pediatric pain.
Deep breathing – also known as diaphragmatic breathing – is a relaxation technique that can help a child feel calm, relax, and control their own body’s response to stress, while reducing symptoms like pain and nausea, as well as sleeplessness and fear. It also encourages health and healing.
At UCSF’s Stad Center for Pediatric Pain, Palliative, and Integrative Medicine, our pediatricians care for children in pain through a unique combination of conventional medical treatments and complementary, evidence-based therapies.
