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.
