Hello

I have a good friend who is a RMT and she says that deep tissue massage of the legs helps people with MS because it stimulates blood flow to otherwise relatively idle muscles. Her argument is that it might improve things but certainly can't hurt.

Does anyone have any views or experience on the topic?

Cheers

Not only that, but if you are on copaxone, do your shots in your butt for a few days, you'll be amazed, no sting - provided your rear got rubbed. Seriously. Ken
