IF it's for a clinical trial or the like...
I mean Why treat only those who are guaranteed or most likely to succeed? I am one very firm advocate of PT, I just hate to see folks denied therapy which many research works have proved to be beneficial to those who have been given a less than a 40% success rate, and such folks have smashed that Statistic to bits! But, only given access to key and astute therapies.

I guess that given all the therapies open to those with any of the 200+ neuropathies, to EXCLUDE any given individual, well, skews the results to a very warped and too positive set of test and testing protocol results.

I appeciate this all as I used to be active with animal accupuncture/accupressure and was always amazed and surprised at the results. Usually positive? Before I acquired my neuropathies, I'd seriously been considering an animal therapy second career. But my neuropathy involves SENSORY deficits...lacking that 'touch' I can't even think of doing it safely for all concerned.

I myself love the accupoint therapies...that was less 'whelming' at the start and seemed to 'jump-start' lots of nerves? Tho it's not something I would do EVERY day mind you...Moderation about good things and all that. - j
