I appreciate the warning you made anonymous/professional massage therapist. You are right that when the stroke already occurred, there's nothing you can do. The best is to call whoever is the best agency that can give help.
ReplyDeleteMy topic here is a first aid when an stroke is eminent. I may not have learned from the best schools of massage or learned and memorized anatomy ang physiology, but I learned from the experienced massage un-educated masseures of my poor country. From there, I learned things hands on.
I am posting one of my techniques that I used to help people who were having the signs of stroke attack and "luckily" my technique helped them. I am sharing it here because I believed that if it helped some, it can also help more.
