ask a question

Hi, I have sent a querry on the ask a question link. It was sent on the 24th of February. I had a reply from the admin team saying it was being sent on to the subject matter experts. I have still not had a reply even though I have sent two further messages to Zara asking her to chase it up. I really think this is poor, it happened to me last year as well and I thought twice about renewing my membership. Any thoughts any one ? I should just add that as a farily new therapist being able to ask questions and get advice is one of the most important things I want from an organisation. Sandra

Hi Sandra I've always found this is the best place to ask questions - everyone is really helpful and friendly - not had a problem yet... Kind regards Kathryn

what was y our question? I wonder why we missed it first time round - this forum is more geared to peer-to-peer support and 'head office' don't normally get involved

My question was regarding indian Head Massage, a potential new client does have hemaplegic migraines from time to time. Obviously you wouldnt massage anyone having a migraine, im sure they would be too incapacitated anyway, but wasnt sure if I should be taking any other cautions due to the type of migraine she gets ? thanks boths of you for reply, Sandra

I found this article if it helps: http://www.migraine-facts.co.uk/basics/the-disabling-effects-of-hemiplegic-migraine/ I think I'd be inclined to ask her GP - sorry not much help. Regards Kathy

Hi Sandra. The same thing has happened to me with the ask a question link. They have got back to me but it took a really long time probably about 6 wks! Advice to my many questions was to attend my local group meetings and ask them. I am getting the impression that this association is more geared up for peer advice though the CThA were helpful when I phoned them. The peer advice I have experienced so far has been wonderful and generous, there are many people out there with lots of first hand experience. Best regards Kerrie

Thanks Kerrie, I have had a reply now. I appreciate that we can all call on each other, and have done that a few times. It has all been really helpful. My point is if there is the option to 'ask a question' to the ctha, they should respond within a reasonable time scale. As I said it is one of the things that I joined the association for. Sometimes I just feel the need for some official advice, especially with things like contraindications. My querry was forwarded to 'subject matter experts', who have now responded. Regards Sandra :)
