I have worked on a person who had a stroke, and was paralysed down the left side. I worked on both feet, but she was unable to feel me doing anything on the left side. She enjoyed the 'hands on' - I also massaged her neck, face, arms and hands, which made her visibly relax. Sadly she didn't regain feeling in that side of her body, but I continued to visit her every 2 weeks to treat her. She died 13 months later, of heart failure.
