Laura, I have been treating someone with MS. For now 2 years with great success. As for style and pressure; I go back to the fundamentals of the basics taught in school. Listening to your clients. I believe in TCM theory treating each individual. I find that even though contradications should be of course kept in mind along with indications every individual case should be treated as such.

Laura, I have been treating someone with MS. For now 2 years with great success. As for style and pressure; I go back to the fundamentals of the basics taught in school. Listening to your clients. I believe in TCM theory treating each individual. I find that even though contradications should be of course kept in mind along with indications every individual case should be treated as such. My client sometimes wants more pressure then swedish, and has positive results. Case in point listening and checking in with your client and adapting as necessary to their needs and what is working vs what hasn't been working. Good luck to you and your husband, positive thoughts and positive blessings to come your way! Hi Patricia -

Hi Patricia -<br />
<br />
Since it has been a year since you posted this message, I'm not sure if you are still visiting the site, but I would like to talk with you about Reiki and how it has helped you. My other half has been suffering with this disease for 24 years, the last 20 being secondary progressive. I am trying to find bodywork and holistic therapies that would help reduce the constant pain he has from the knees to his feet.<br />
<br />
Hope you reply -<br />

Hi - Your message was posted a year ago, so I am uncertain if you will see this. If you do, I would greatly appreciate the chance to talk via email. My other half has had MS for 24 years, diagnosed at age 26. He is an amazing man, has been adapting to all the stages of the disease, and is doing his best to be as healthy as possible. He is now in a chair full-time and requires lifts to transfer as the upper body strength is gone and even use of his arms and torso stabilization has almost completely gone. He was a furniture maker and had a business and shop behind his home for a significant number of years, even after the MS progressed to where he needed to use a chair most of the time. His diagnosed changed from Relapsing-Remitting to Secondary Progressive and we would love to know another couple dealing with MS.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I worked with a client who was diagnosed with MS a couple of years ago. I did Chi Ni Tsang (sp) with her found that to be extremely effective. Also I practiced/performed Swedish/deep tissue on her for a period of four months weekly. Her symptoms subsided to where now she just gets occasional tingling in her feet. (Apprently a common symptom for MS sufferers)<br />

She thinks that the bodywork was a major factor in her recovery. She also did this without taking expensive medicines.<br />

<br />
Do I think this would work with every one, probably not, but it probably for some it would.<br />
<br />
MS is a scary disease, IMO the sooner you start getting after it the higher chances of success.<br />
<br />
For me what I do is ask myself if I can help this person and see what feeling or answer I get back. I've found that when the answer is a strong yes, success is assured. I always try to work within the boundaries of whats comfortable for the person if that helps. I just feel that on any disease you have to push back, the sooner the better. Bodywork IMO is one of th best ways to holistically push back.<br />
