Children with cerebral palsy benefit from massage therapy

Interesting article in massagemag.com that shows  how children that suffer from cerebral palsy respond to massage therapy.

It goes on to say:

"Results showed that children enjoyed the relaxing aspects of massage and reported a number of improvements in their health such as improved muscle relaxation, mobility and bowel movements, and reduced pain," a statement from Elsevier, publisher of "Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice," the journal in which the study was published. "

Massage therapy is a wonderful way to give the gift of relaxation to children with this disease. Everone deserves the chance to relax now and then.
