Hi

Friend/colleague just rang me asking advice on giving a general massage or reflexology treatment to someone who is receiving dialysis.

Since I never done one myself, what advice would you give ie session time, pressure levels, contraindications etc.

The therapist is also an aromatherapist as well, so any oils - indicated or contraindicated.

I don't known any details about this client, apart that she has kidney failure and is on dialysis.

Cheers

RP

Depends what is going on in the kidney and what is causing the failure, I suppose. May be one for a PM, RP.

Thanks for replying K, but it isn't my client so don't know nothing!

So you massage/bodyworkers out there, have you have any experience with dialysis clients?

I don't know the answer, but love to know when you find out.
