Are Body Massages Safe To Take While Having Stent In Heart?
hi.. my dad is around 57 years. he has had a stent put...but he also has arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis causing him to have severe back pain.. he wants to relieve the pain by taking massage...can he take it?? I heard that there are some kinds of massages that he should not take.
I can understand your confusion about taking massage. I have seen many patients of this type. So, I will definitely advise you that your father can take massage on the painful area also without giving any pressure on it or with very little pressure on it.
If massagist apply any medicine, then it should be external.
Hope after doing this he will get well sooner and please share your experience about me on healthcaremagic.
Take Care, Thank You. From:- Dr. Nupur Shah
