Shark bite trauma

[bigpipe99]

So, a friend of mine was bitten by a shark recently and wants massage to help with rehab,
highly graphic picture here: http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq309/JennaSeaSurf/sharkattack.jpg

He is very thin and sinewy with a very high pain tolerance, he took no pain killers throughout this whole ordeal.

Stitches are out now and he wants to start his rehab, including regular massage.

So, any tips, caveats or suggestions?

might be more helpful to see a picture of his state of healing, stitch pattern, muscle atrophy, etc. :shock:

I'll get one. The pic above was taken 4 weeks ago and the stitches came out a few days ago.

That is incredible. (Is there a fainting emoticon?)

I'll bet that calls for some serious LDT!

Best wishes to your friend!

Oh man. That takes the sails out of my "and I thought I was having a bad day" spiel. My eyes are still watering............... :yikes: savannah

I agree with Tribute. Some LDT will help speed up healing and get rid of inflamation.
