Multiple sclerosis treatments

[zbkqkfdh]

Got a new client tomorrow with 'mild' MS affecting her legs, which are very painful and restless in bed.

Any experiences and advice please.

Hiya Jan

I've treated one lady who has MS. Things that needed attention in her case were pin and needles plus cramps in her feet, visual disturbances and back pain. I gave her full treatments but focusing on things like central nervous system, head and eyes, circulation... The fact that the feet were being worked on was v helpful in itself and most relaxing for her. Let us know how you get on, I will be interested to hear about it.

Hi Siobhan, thanks for the reply, how is your client now. Did she have a course of treatment.

Will let you know what happened.

ps liked your trifold, some good ideas, been tweaking mine again. Everytime I print them I alter them. have tried printing my flyers but the columns seem to keep moving, blinking computers!!

Hiya Jan

Unfortunately I didn't treat her regularly because I saw her at a day centre where I'm a volunteer and time is limited with lots of people wanting treatment! She did find treatments very helpful though from a stress and discomfort relief point of view.

I am always tweaking my trifold and trying to make it look better. I also wonder about the mysteries of moving columns, page breaks etc. I reckon my PC has a mind of its own, like supermarket trollies

Hi Jan

In the May/June issue of International Therapist Magazine (FHT), there are some results of research conducted on ms sufferers.

Basically, they were checking improvements in paresthesias (pricking/tingling of the skin), spacsticity, urinary symptoms and muscle strength. Wont, post the whole article, but there was a study group of 27 people and a control group of 26 people. There were thirty-six reflexologists who each treated one study patient with reflexology and massage of the calf area and one control patient who received a sham treatment of non-specific massage to the calf muscle. They each received a 45 minute treatment, once a week for 11 consecutive weeks.

Those who received reflexology showed marked improvements in paresthesias, spasticity and urinary symptoms, but not in muscle strength. No significant improvements were noted in the control group.

Hi Jan.

You could trying Pm-ing Preana. I think she has some experience in this and she is always kind and willing to share.

Unfortunately my client phoned to say she had severe diarrhoea and wouldnt be able to venture out. She has rebooked for Monday so hopefully will be able to help her then. I did offer to HV but she was 'embarrassed' as bit incontinent, poor thing.

Perhaps this may be a symptom appearing?

The report sounds promising Lesley. There was one a while ago in Reflexions.

Thanks Candie. I may do that.

Hi Jan. Unfortunately, as you probably know, when people are not well this happens a lot. I have one client who is lovely and who benefits greatly, but who often either forgets to turn up or doesn't turn up at all as she gets carted into hospital. i ring her before her appointment to remind her, but this week got no reply, so think she has been taken in again. What can you do?[&:]

Just to let you know, the client did come for her appointment. She is really lovely and works as a healer herself, so lots of chat and a 2 hour session altogether!! (treatment was for normal time tho). What a lovely job we've got.

The treatment went well and I called her today to see how she was and she had slept all night with no leg probs. So well pleased.

She has virtually cured herself, (was paralysed from waist and lost speech at the beginning 14 years ago) so quite and inspiration related to my post about illnesses being in the mind.
