Hi All

Love the new layout, its so fresh!

I am treating a client who has the above condition (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) next week to a Swedish Massage. He has a massage once a week anyway. Massaging the back and chest would relieve chest congestion for him.

Would I still need him to obtain a GP note for this.

Thanks

Hi
I am not sure about this. My dad has it and I am a reflexologist - but unfortunately he lives 300 miles away so I cannot help him. I always say 'when in doubt - don't treat or get GP consent' . Just remember some GP's just don't want to get involved at all, they do not want to be accountable.

Fortunately most doctors that I speak to are helpful.
Good luck
