Default Massage benefits Children with Asthma

Especially during summer time, I notice lots of children affected by Asthma. Massage has been shown to produce many positive benefits for children with asthma. Research studies show that asthmatic children had increased peak air flow, improved pulmonary functions, less anxiety and reduced stress hormone (cortisol) after receiving massage.
Also a benefit for parents - Anxiety Decreased!

I've read about this before and wondered if it was really true. I also read that massage has been shown to help children with ADHA. Does anyone know if this is accurate?
