Hi Jeff,

I recommend asking your physician for a referral to a physical therapist or other qualified professional able to instruct you in massage technique.

All the best,

Hi crd1958,

A registered massage therapist may be another option; however, you'd have to discuss with one your situation and ensure their training equips them with the knowledge/skills to deal with your medical situation.

I am not familiar with the credentials/registration requirements of massage therapists to say for sure if they are a qualified professional appropriate to provide instructions with stroke patients.

All the best,
