What is Cerebral Infection?
The average affected individual is middle aged or elderly. The onset is slow and progressive (stroke in evolution). A bruit may be felt in one carotid artery in the neck indicating the area of narrowing by a thrombus. Hypertension may be present.
The patient will not be unconscious. Generally only one area supplied by a major artery to the brain is affected. Convulsions are rare. Neck stiffness is absent.
Speech is affected. There is a loss of control over movement of one half of the body. Recovery is slow.
Risk Factors in Stroke
1. Elderly age.
Massage Technique - Petrissage
This stroke referred to as petrissage (derived from ‘petrir’ meaning ‘to knead’). Petrissage can be subdivided into picking up, wringing, squeezing and rolling. If you are good at kneading dough then you will quickly become an expert!
Back Strokes - Fan Stroking and Circle Stroking
Remind yourself of this gentle stroking movement before you start.
