Cindy - I personally have never had it but, I had a friend who did it - they called him the "pain doctor". He was a wonderful man and wonderful at what he did. I met him on one of those "match"ing websites - he was a great guy and we became wonderful friends just no attractions. He died of a massive heart attack while running at the local track. Heathly as a horse or so we thought....
Sorry, back to you question - he would do the pressure and cause serious pain to his patients. He specialized in athletics and patients with MS (he was the first person to tell me I had MS) He said that his MS patients would come into his office with a walker or cane and walk out on their own. Good Luck and keep us posted.

I say try it. Ya never know and if so, teriffic. If not, cross it off the list. The mind is ever so powerful, if we just tap into it. Keep us posted. Quote:
I borrowed the book, The MS Recovery Diet from the MSAA last month, but had to return it before finishing it. It was just published in 2007. I never got to the diet part, but there is a whole section on exercise and getting people out of wheelchairs and walking. It's exercises that build on each other like a baby learns to roll over, crawl, stand up, and walk. It so grabbed my attention. I plan to buy it when funds allow, just to have as a reference. Oh and to finish reading it too.

My sister gets those sessions for her IBS. She feels it has helped her greatly, and she wants me to try it for my various symptoms because her doc has had quite a few MS patients who apparently have greatly benefitted from the acupuncture treatments. I'm thinking about it.......

I haven't had acuppressure, but have had acuppuncture and really liked it. I felt a diff while I was going through the sessions, but after I stopped going, I felt my sx's returned.
Was it mentally or physically helping me? Maybe both. Can't hurt to try it Cin!

to finish the movement without assistance really does help to retrain the neural pathways around damaged areas. Won't be perfectly good as new, but it will make things easier.
