For example, one study found that premature babies who were massaged could leave the hospital up to seven days earlier than those who were not massaged, and they had an increased weight gain of up to 47 percent compared with the latter.
Ühes uuringus saadi näiteks teada, et massaaži saanud enneaegsed lapsed said haiglast välja kuni seitse päeva varem kui need imikud, keda ei masseeritud. Samuti olid nad kaalus juurde võtnud kuni 47 protsenti rohkem kui teised lapsed.
