Study: Preschool children received 20-minute massages twice a week for five weeks. Results: The massaged children as compared to children in the wait-list control group had better behaviour ratings on state, vocalisation, activity and cooperation after the massage sessions on the first and last days of the study. Their behaviour was also rated more optimally by their teachers by the end of the study. Also, at the end of the five week period parents of the massaged children rated their children as having less touch aversion and being more extroverted. |
