Clinical Consideration

Irritated nerves do not like to be stretched. When you are working with

nerves inside scar tissue, work the outer edges of the scar first. If working

with scars near a large nerve branch area, such as the lumbar, brachial

plexuses, let your client know that they may experience some discomfort

following treatment. If using more forceful techniques, like transverse

frictions, some post-treatment may occur. Instruct your client to employ

anti-inflammatory measures, such as ice application, following treatment.
