I seem to be getting a load of challenges right now that are keeping me on my toes. I have a massage client who is quite ill, but open to any suggestions I have. Here is the problem: ypertrophicardiomyopathy – thickening of the walls of the heart. This has caused him to be off work…now he works, but has to do a job where he just walks. but now he is so weak he wants just a desk job. He has a wife and daughter to support. His symptoms are bloating (stomach/ankles), not sleeping (2 hours per night), food not digesting well (due to bloating), oxygen deficit (hard time breathing), lower costal area sore.
I gave him intercostal breathing…he finds it hard. I just taught him today the high blood pressure – agni sar dhouti…his face lit up immediately (even though he found the timing hard - originally did it opposite), and he said he felt way better (and he really looked it) - I told him to do it at least once per day…he asked if he good do it 2 times, one home one back on bus, I said it should be okay - but to make sure no pain or discomfort anywhere anytime. He asked if he could do 3 times, I said that would be Max…and not to overdue. I told him I would verify everything with you.
