Massage efficacy in the treatment of autistic children

The purpose of this study was to present selected forms of massage as supportive methods with respect to a comprehensive program of rehabilitation of autistic children, particularly alleviating the symptoms of this syndrome. Massage forms were selected that show high effectiveness in relieving autism symptoms. Our work is a narrative review based on a search of the world’s scientific literature. Because of a low number of publications found in databases the authors have decided not to perform a formal systematic review.
