A member asked:
What do you advise if i'm needing some advice about how to massage a client with a neuro stimulator in their lumbar region.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keep Clear of Device: Just be aware not to massage around the battery site as it can cause the battery to move or pull on the leads in the spine. Also probably ask your client to turn machine off while getting massage if possible. Some people can experience an increase in stimulation if leads are pushed closer to spinal cord with massage. Try and use short strokes for technique around the scar tissue and battery.
