stroke/spasms, etc..

[Renee P]

a client walks into a massage therapy room...

she's in her late 40s, early 50s.. has had several mini strokes and is nearly blind in her left eye. i've posted before about her leg spasms during the massages. but today i realized it's her left leg... left side.. kinda reminds me of restless leg syndrome, but a little more violent.

anyway, i used the wull stones today, which after about 5-8 minutes relaxed her. so definately the infrared has helped and is the way to continue. but i'm curious what y'all think and if any other suggestions?

thanks in advance.

Hi Amanda,

I have a couple of clients with similar post stroke symptoms, and a couple with Bells Palsy. In all cases focusing on relaxing the spasms and a 6 week course of acupressure had made huge differences. For the BP cases, Manual lymph drainage on the face, along with acupressure, has improved appearance and symptoms like dry eye / weepy eye.

Hope this helps PM if you would like more details.
