Massage Therapy for Improved Immune Function and Weight Gain in Preterm Infants Research published in Pediatrics, the offi cial journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), showed that for stable, preterm infants, daily massage therapy is positively associated with higher natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity and weight gain. American Massage Therapy Association President, Cynthia Ribeiro, says of the study, “This research demonstrates that massage therapy can benefi t preterm infants by enhancing immunity and stimulating growth. Parents of preterm infants are encouraged to speak with a certifi ed massage therapist to learn more about certain techniques designed to aid in their child’s development.” Ang J, Lua J, Mathur A, et al. A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial of Massage Therapy on the Immune System of Preterm Infants. Pediatrics. 2012; 130(6):e1549-58. Massage Therapy for Improvements in Balance, Neurological, and Cardiovascular Measure in Older Adults Research published in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (IJTMB) found that older adults who receive massage therapy for up to six weeks could benefi t from decreased blood pressure and improved stability. “This study suggests that regular massage therapy can produce several advantages for the older generation, including a relaxation eff ect for the entire body, lowering blood pressure, decreasing stress and improving balance, amongst other things,” says American Massage Therapy Association President, Cynthia Ribeiro.
