Hi everyone,
One of my learners has asked me if I can treat Sickle Cell Anaemia with massage.
Has anyone had experience treating this condition?
Thanks,
Kerry
These are a very special group of people who should only ever be treated by highly trained medical massage therapists in a medical environment.
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your reply
If you have any information on who/where these 'highly trained medical massage therapists in a medical environment' are that would be really helpful. I would love to be able to point them in the right direction.
My learner (and her suffering husband) is looking to the world of complementary therapy (that's us guys! 🙂 ) as they feel that the world of modern medicine has failed them (apart from prescribing very strong pain killers etc)
Thanks,
Kerry
Hi Kerry
How kind of you to post on here about your client with sickle cell anaemia. It is uncommon and has some unpleasant side effects. I believe these can be alleviated somewhat with the right supportive nutrition and supplementation, see here for example.
May I suggest you refer them to a registered [url]nutritional therapist[/url] who will assess their particular situation and offer supportive advice. Until I came across how much difference NT could make I would have been sceptical as to what it could do - but I know different now! It grieves me how little the medical profession know about this amazing therapy and what a difference it can make - all they seem to learn is pharmaceuticals and surgery.
Hi Caroline,
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I have forwarded you link and suggestions to my learner and I am sure they will give it a try (with the relevant consultants blessing of course)
Certain members of the medical profession (GP's mainly!) keep me very busy by sending their patients away disgruntled with prescriptions for pain killers and little else.
My last client was advised to perform stretches that her GP 'Googled' whilst she was in his office.....no demonstration or explanation, just showed her them on the screen!
Anyway, I'm open to NT and agree that it's too often overlooked so hopefully a diet change can help my learners' husband with his condition
Thanks again
Kerry
