There are many CAM modalities that are not covered in the previous listings because they are not immediately relevant to CVD. However, a range of therapies in the categories of energy work (shiatsu, therapeutic touch, polarity therapy, reiki, reflexology, or bioenergetics), manual therapies (massage, rolfing, chiropractic, craniosacral therapy, and osteopathy), and acupuncture may have generally beneficial effects for heart disease or stroke patients. Information on these modalities may be found through the Health Science Library Meta-Directories or in a series of resource guides from the nonprofit Alternative Medicine Foundation (http://www.amfoundation.org/info.htm).
