brain haemorrhage

[ljdemxfe]

Hi, has anyone had any experience of workin with clients recovering from brain haemorrhage. The reason I ask is that a client of mine who used to come for massage treatments about 2 years ago had a haemorrhage last year. She is keen to have treatments again as part of her rehabilitation (she's somewhat paralysed and in a wheelchair). I explained that I would be reluctant to treat her without the go ahead of the gp. She is going to ask her doc next week then contact me. However, as I left her, I felt that even if I got her gps consent, its still a very scary prospect, obviously I wouldn't want to do her any harm. I've just googled it and found sites where people have explained that massage helped them to regain some feeling and mobility, so perhaps this is why she's keen. But I've got to admit, I find the whole idea a little daunting. Anyone have any experience in this area or any feelings about whether I should or not.[&:]

Hi Staranise[/align][/align]If the Dr thinks it is ok to receive massage to help with her mobility then the ball is in your court, only you can decide what is right for you to treat.[/align][/align]Before I was qualified I never turned anyone away who requested treatment and I was presented with some wonderful dysfunctions from people who had been rejected by the NHS as being beyond their treatments with some wonderful results.[/align][/align]These days if a Dr advises them not to receive massage then I tend to stay on the side of caution, saying that I still think it is up to the individual to decide for themselves what is appropriate for them once they have been given all of the facts that are available [/align]
