Why doesn't anyone else take this seriously? See I think this is an interesting study. When I was a youngster, I wanted to be a geriatric nurse. I didnt fullfill that dream but I did become a Pod interested in aged care. In my first job post TAFE I was sent to a nursing home. I went home and cried myself to sleep. I did however listen to a massage therapist who told me that before therapy to this particular gentleman , he was non responsive. Now after therapy from the massage lady he had showed signs of activity.

Hi Lorraine not sure why you assume "no one else takes this seriously"
are you tallking about manipulation?
That is certainly taken seriously, check out the many threads and you will find pods manipulating feet all over the world, did you mean this particular paper?:confused:
Perhaps you need to be a little more specific, the paper or manipulation.
I have not read that
paper to date.
Cheers
