Select 3-4 fabrics (a satin, something fluffy (cotton ball/soft fleece), cotton fabric, etc)
Gently move the fabric up and down the affected area for 30 seconds (she said the usual was to start with a minute but since my pain is so out of control she wanted to be gentle)
Change to the next fabric and do the same, and so on.

My CRPS is in my lower leg, so she moved the fabric from knee to ankle to top of foot and back up to my knee.

So do all the fabrics in the same day or progress to each fabric weekly?

Did she say to not touch the area otherwise?

How many times per day?

Thanks so much!
