Abstract
The results suggest that the massage therapy intervention utilized increased the variability of pressure below the hallux of a participant with diabetic neuropathy, and also affected gait positively in terms of velocity and fluidity. Although this single case study is a preliminary investigation of the role, massage therapy may play in the management of clients with diabetic neuropathy, the results reflect a potential to improve mobility and reduce the incidence of neuropathic ulceration in the diabetic population.
