Background: Erythromelalgia is characterized by temperature-dependent redness, pain, and warmth in one or more extremities. It may be a primary disease, or it may occur secondarily because of underlying illness. It is a chronic, debilitating condition often resistant to medical treatment. Purpose: The present report evaluates massage as a complementary therapy to reduce pain and other symptoms associated with erythromelalgia. Participant: A 31-year-old female with a long-standing history of erythromelalgia bilaterally in the lower extremities presented with complaints of acute pain exacerbation, anxiety, decreased quality of sleep, and difficulty with activities of daily living for prolonged periods of time. She had no previous experience with massage therapy or any other complementary therapies. Intervention: Massage therapy was introduced over the course of 9 treatments, each 1 hour in duration, using various massage therapy techniques, remedial exercise, and recommended home care. Results: In this patient with erythromelalgia, effleurage and petrissage as massage therapy techniques provided temporary pain relief in the lower extremities and long-term benefits that relieved anxiety, which improved restorative sleep and increased the patient’s participation in activities of daily living. Conclusions: For this treatment protocol, therapist observation and patient feedback suggest that massage therapy may lead to a state of increased relaxation, decreased stress, decreased muscle tension, and improved sleep. These positive effects may have an indirect role in the ability of the patient to cope with erythromelalgia day to day.

Abstract Purpose: Previous research(1) indicated that the motivation of massage therapy students changed between commencement of their professional studies and entry to practice. This paper reports on the influences underlying these changes. Methods: The research was a qualitative design in which data were collected during a series of individual in-depth semi-structured interviews with massage therapy graduates, just after completion of a 2 year full-time program. After obtaining informed consent, interviews were taped, transcribed, and analyzed, resulting in identification of a number of themes and sub-themes. Results: Previously noted changes in student motivation involved an increase in the influence of extrinsic rewards and a decrease in motivation related to helping and working with people. The findings of the present study suggest that these changes are explained by two themes, each with a number of sub-themes. The first theme, The Reality of Life in Practice, is associated with two sub-themes: Debt Load and Effectiveness in Achieving Positive Health Outcomes. The second theme, An Evolving Self-Image as a Health Care Professional, is associated with three sub-themes: Rigor / Intensity of the Educational Program, Developing Perspective of Massage Therapy as a Career, and Interaction with Faculty. Conclusion: The data suggest that the change in motivation noted in previous work (increased extrinsic motivation and decreased intrinsic motivation) is influenced in different ways by each theme identified above. While schools must be vigilant in ensuring that programs support the humanistic mission of health care, the present study indicates that the change in motivation noted in earlier work is not sinister. Rather, it appears to be related to the development of a realistic perspective of life as a health care practitioner, which departs from the more naive expectations of students when they commence their professional studies.
