Hi

Has any one here had any experience of massage to help with pain and stiffness. I've always had tight calf muscles long before Ataxia reared its' head. If you have what type e.g. deep tissue and did it help. I do Frenkel exercises as recommended by specialist nurse and stretches. I can only walk with zimmer and rollater and am contemplating getting a mobility scooter as walking getting increasingly difficult. Thanks Liz
