More Australian families are turning to Dore exercise-based therapy to treat ADHD, as concern grows about the dangers of using prescription drugs to treat this condition and others like it.
According to a recent study, the Multimodal Treatment Study (MTA) of Children with ADHD, drugs such as Ritalin and Concerta can stunt a child's growth.
Additionally, the study found that drug treatments have no demonstrable improvements to a child after three years of using the medication.
A recent study released by Dore this week, Dore Data Matched Study, supports the effectiveness of its exercise-based therapy in treating people with conditions such as ADHD and dyslexia.
According to the study's author, Professor David Reynolds, CBE, FRSA from the University of Plymouth, the new research provides a resounding endorsement of this treatment.
"The findings from the study show that Dore exercise therapy offers a breakthrough in treating distressing disorders like ADHD," Professor Reynolds said.
"The study's results add to the mounting evidence supporting exercise-based therapy as a powerful approach to overcoming learning difficulties."
In addition to the above, another study commissioned by Dore in 2006 into the effectiveness of its program found that of the 73% of people coming to Dore who initially showed evidence of clinical ADHD, 74% showed no clinical evidence of ADHD at the conclusion of the program.
Background: Dore, an exercise-based therapy has helped over 11,500 Australian's and 40,000 people around the world, overcome learning and attention disorders, without drug intervention.
