Yesterday, I was giving a presentation and was asked if Massage Therapy is effective for children with Cerebral Palsy. As I am often asked this question, I thought I would share a little research based evidence of he effectiveness of massage for children affected by Cerebral Palsy (CP).

Research has found that massage therapy helped children with Cerebral Palsy reduce spasticity, gain more muscle flexibility, and motor function. Additionally it allowed these children to have more positive social interaction.
