A member asked:
Can rough head massage cause damage to brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, unless...: Assuming that the head is not moving during the massage, and that it is not being struck, the brain will not be damaged. Infants and those missing a piece of skull (after a trauma) need to avoid having their head massaged.
