Has anybody responded to your query? If so could you please post
the answer. If I were to hazard a guess I would say that massage
is neither a relief (unless maybe it is combined with movement) nor
a contraindication after CVA. I think appropriate movement/activity
is the key to controlling spasticity and the patient has
to be an active participant in this process.
What do other people think?
