#513 re Therapists and RSD. The RSDSA has resources for therapists which are great. They also have a therapist called Melanie Swan who has done a lot of work putting RSD protocols for other therapists together and videos of her work are available.
The biggest no-no as I said is ice which is often usually used to reduce inflammation and swelling, or alternate immersion in hot and then cold water for the same reason. An uninformed therapist could unintentionally do a lot of damage, so it is important to work with them and share your knowledge. Kind regards, cailinruaidh
