An article in the journal, Early Child Development and Care, describes a study in which "Children receiving massage therapy showed fewer physical symptoms including reduced spasticity, less rigid muscle tone overall and in the arms, and improved fine and gross motor functioning." "In addition, the massage group (compared to the reading group) had improved cognition, social and dressing scores on the Developmental Profile, and they showed more positive facial expressions and less limb activity during face-to-face play interactions." Review the study here:http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0300443042000230546
