Has anyone treated clients wth pacemaker? and how did you feel about the treatment, were you nervous or just did not do it on the sde of caution?
Only just noticed this as haven't been on here for ages!
My 17 year old niece has had a pacemaker for about 10 years and I've given her reflexology treatments many times. I haven't worried about it at all as I think that reflexology and the pacemaker are working to the same aim - to balance the rhythm of the heart.
I always work carefully over her heart reflex as she has had a lot of surgery over the years but I haven't been concerned about the pacemaker.
Hi Potion and thanks, I did give her a very light treatment but avoided the heart area, I did lots of spinal work and relaxation but I was so nervous and for days afterwards, I even phoned to see how she was and she was fine.I have opted to give her reiki instead from now on as its not worth the worry and then I cannot concentrate properly either.:)
