The ABMP Podcast | Speaking With the Massage & Bodywork Profession Ep 77 - Femoral Popliteal Bypass, “I Have a Client Who . . .” Pathology Conversations with Ruth Werner
A client with a serious circulatory problem—a failed femoral-popliteal bypass, or “fem-pop” surgery—wants a massage while he’s waiting for his next procedure. There’s no data on massage and failed fem-pops at all. What can this massage therapist do? In this episode, we look at fem-pop surgeries and the reasons why a person might need it. Then, we take apart some of the variables that go into making decisions about massage therapy for this client. It’s a critical-thinking exercise with immediate repercussions for this client and his health and comfort.
