I worked on a person with post-polio and it was slow going. The tissue on the
affected leg was like concrete, and would respond, but unbelievably slowly. My
experience at the time was that quite a few sessions on the leg were indicated,
i.e.,
don't expect the tissue to change in a very big area very quickly. I had to
sink in and
wait, wait, wait for the tissue to start to change, and go over it in many slow,
thin
layers. But it would change.
