Need help - massage after amputation

Hi! I'm looking for articles about using massage after lower limb amputation... and i can't find any... help me please...

Hey sickboy1,

Hmmmm, I have to admit I cant recall anything right now. Can you be more specific of what you are looking for? For instance:

What are you hoping to answer by looking at the research study?

How did the injury occur?

How long has it been since the operation?

How old is the patient?

Was the patient active before the injury?

Does the patient have a positive outlook on their present situation?

What kind of massage are you thinking of?

How soon is the patient to be discharged from the hospital?

Have a great one

Hi, I need to know how to apply massage therapy right after ampotation regardless for the reason for the amputation and also regardless the age patient.

Hey sickboy1

Unfortunately I cant offer a suggestion. You always need to have an assessment done. There are stages of healing that needs to be respected. You can still massage all other areas of the body, just not the one that was operated on.
