Yes, massage helps babies with CP
I have read many studies, and also know from my personal experience that massage does help babies with Cerebral Palsy.
When children with Cerebral Palsy receive massage therapy they can experience reduced muscle spasticity, and gain more muscle flexibility.
The type of massage you use would really depend on the factors of the baby’s condition. Some children have low muscle tone and some have high muscle tone. It would be best to find someone who has worked in providing pediatric massage to get the best advice for the specific child.
