the forearms also hold emotions in them, per my chiropractor. Emotions like betrayal, grief.

Interesting correlation.

your chiro is exactly correct, even more common are the hamstrings particulary in men

That’s not my area of expertise, I stick to neurological/physiological issues, but it’s well established that pain comes from the brain so you’re probably correct.

pain does not "come" from the brain, it originates from pain receptors at the insult, passes up the cord, and is interpreted in specific brain areas. The issue is that pathways are established and difficult to remediate.

How can I find a medical massage therapist for my daughter? One day, just sitting on the couch she was unable to move her arms. She can use her arms now but not her hands. Nobody can tell us what the heck it even is. We’re running out of doctors and now she’s on meds that make her sleep 20+ hours a day. If you could point me in any direction that may help I would be so grateful. We are in East central Florida and travel is an option.

you have not run out of doctors, you simply are choosing the wrong profession... Medicating a child is beyond stupid

Well medical massage therapists are most often found in chiro offices, PT offices, and in private practice. You could possibly find one in a hospital, but from what I’ve seen those are normally more specialized, like oncology therapists or lymphatic drainage specialists. However, not being able to use her arms sounds neurological. Massage can help with the muscular repercussions of neurological issues, but you definitely need to get her a cervical MRI first and see what’s going on (arm nerves come through the cervical spine). Chiropractors can order MRIs, fyi.

Does your daughter do sports? Have neck or shoulder pain? Or is it just the inability to use her arms? Also, how old is she?

This is really scary for you guys, I’m so sorry you haven’t been able to get any answers.

Thank you so much for replying. I will investigate these areas to find a medical massage therapist. She’s had cervical mris and really every part of her has some scan or mri. On paper she’s the healthiest person you ever saw. Doctors have no idea. I’ll keep plugging. Again, thank you. I know there’s help out there, we just have to find the right person.
