1 Blood Clot Risk & Massage Therapy A Webinar with Tracy Walton, MS, LMT Part 2 of the Common Cardiovascular Conditions Webinar Series 1 Background Tracy Walton Author Educator Researcher Massage Therapist Specialist in massage therapy and cancer care 2 Last webinar: Blood clot symptoms & signs This webinar: Blood clot risk 3 1
2 Learning Objectives Which populations are at higher risk of DVT Why pressure on lower extremities might be contraindicated because of a silent clot Two simple DVT Risk Principles for a safer practice How to get help from a client s physician 4 Pretest 1. Which of the following DVT risk factors is thought to be the strongest? a. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn s disease b. Major surgery in last 12 weeks c. Varicose veins d. Age Pretest 2. Which of the following best describes DVT Risk Principle 1? a. With elevated DVT risk, limit pressure to level 3 on the symptomatic area b. With elevated DVT risk, limit pressure to level 2 on at-risk areas c. Limit joint movement on symptomatic lower extremities d. Avoid all contact with someone with high DVT risk 6 2
3 Pretest 3. Which of the following is a physician s responsibility described in DVT Risk Principle 2? a. Assess client s DVT risk from the medical record b. Speak directly to massage therapist s concern about massage and DVT c. Approve direct pressure and joint movement in the at-risk area d. All of the above are physician responsibilities in DVT Risk Principle 2 7 Pretest 4. How can a massage therapist promote a productive exchange with a client s physician about the client s DVT risk? a. Correspond in writing b. Use the massage therapy pressure scale c. Involve the physician s nurse d. All of the above may promote productive communication 8 Pretest 5. Why might a massage therapist choose a more cautious response to DVT risk in a vacation setting than in private practice? a. A vacation setting may offer less continuity of client care, and little or no session documentation b. Clients are more likely to report DVT risk factors in a vacation setting c. Clients with cancer or heart disease are more likely to seek massage on vacation than at home d. A therapist is more likely to see one-time clients in private practice than in a vacation setting 9 3
4 Pretest 6. Which of the following best describes pressure level 2 on the massage therapy pressure scale? a. Light lotioning b. Heavy lotioning c. Medium pressure d. Deep pressure 10 What is DVT? Deep = in a deep vein (not superficial) Venous = in a vein (not an artery) Thrombosis = condition of having a clot (thrombus) 11 Other Terms Embolus Moving body (clot, gas bubble, fat), traveling through the blood 12 4
5 Pulmonary embolism (PE) Movement of a dislodged clot to an artery or arteriole of the lungs MTs careful not to dislodge a clot 13 Where Does DVT Occur? Lower extremities Upper extremities Pelvic veins Mesenteric veins Most common; Focus of webinar 14 What Do We Do? Several Scenarios Diagnosed DVT DVT symptoms or signs, but no diagnosis Pulmonary embolism In treatment for DVT Elevated DVT Risk With signs/symptoms Without signs/symptoms 15 5
6 Signs and Symptoms of DVT (in Extremity) Pain Tenderness Swelling Warmth Redness Dilation of superficial veins Palpable cord Cyanosis in nailbeds, skin Fever of unknown origin (low-grade) Clinically silent (asymptomatic) DVT is asymptomatic 50% of the time In 2/3 of PE patients, no DVT symptoms 16 How do We Use Information about DVT Risk? Pressure level 3 Massage pressure >level 2 on lower extremities could disturb deep veins Joint movement may also disturb deep veins Awareness of risk factors Consider them in asymptomatic clients Consider them in symptomatic clients Awareness of DVT Risk Principles 1 & 2 17 What Increases DVT Risk? 3 General Conditions Venous stasis (slowing blood flow) Hypercoagulability (increased clotting tendency) Injury to endothelium (inner walls of veins) 18 6
7 What Increases DVT Risk? Specific Risk Factors Family hx of DVT or PE Inherited blood clotting disorders (Factor V Leiden, others) Central venous catheters Pregnancy, childbirth (last 6-8 wks) Obesity Oral contraceptives Estrogen replacement Some hormone therapies Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) Nephrotic syndrome Ulcerative colitis, Crohn s disease Lupus Sepsis Cigarette smoking High altitude (>14,000 ft) IV drug use Red = High; Orange = Medium; Green = May be low. NOTE: This is a partial list. Sources disagree on ranking of risk factors. The above impressions are based on literature search. MTs are advised to research risk factors and consult client s physician in each case. 19 What Increases DVT Risk? Specific Risk Factors Major surgery, last 12 wks Trauma (esp. burns, multiple, SCI, fx of lower extremity) Immobility/bed rest (72+ hrs) Paralysis History of DVT, phlebitis Age (40+? 60+? 65+? 75+) Prolonged sitting (4+ hrs), last 4 wks Active cancer especially adv ca primary ca of lung, pancreas, GI Cancer treatment (last 6 mos) Congestive heart failure Heart attack Atrial fibrillation Stroke Atherosclerosis Varicose veins Red = High; Orange = Medium; Green = May be low. NOTE: This is a partial list. Sources disagree on ranking of risk factors. The above impressions are based on literature search. MTs are advised to research risk factors and consult client s physician in each case. 20 Themes? Cardiovascular conditions Cancer and treatment Hormones Medically complex conditions Inactivity Age 21 7
8 Cardiovascular Conditions often Run In Packs Principle If one cardiovascular condition is present, be alert for others. 22 What Increases DVT Risk? Specific Risk Factors Major surgery, last 12 wks Trauma (esp. burns, multiple, SCI, fx of lower extremity) Immobility/bed rest (72+ hrs) Paralysis History of DVT, phlebitis Age (40+? 60+? 65+? 75+) Prolonged sitting (4+ hrs), last 4 wks Active cancer especially adv ca primary ca of lung, pancreas, GI Cancer treatment (last 6 mos) Congestive heart failure Heart attack Atrial fibrillation Stroke Atherosclerosis Varicose veins Red = High; Orange = Medium; Green = May be low. NOTE: This is a partial list. Sources disagree on ranking of risk factors. The above impressions are based on literature search. MTs are advised to research risk factors and consult client s physician in each case. 23 Concern Increases Medium and high risk factor Multiple risk factors Medical complexity 24 8
9 The Massage Pressure Scale Classifies massage pressures: Layperson terms Tissues displaced Common uses Therapist body use (From Walton, T. Medical Conditions and Massage Therapy: A Decision Tree Approach. Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011.) 25 Massage Guidelines for Symptoms DVT Signs & Symptoms (no dx) Pain Tenderness Swelling Warmth Redness Superficial veins dilated Palpable cord Cyanosis in nailbeds, skin Fever of unknown origin Massage Therapy Guidelines Avoid pressure > level 1 on lower extremities Avoid joint movement on lower extremities Urgent medical referral Liability precaution: Avoid contact with lower extremities Urgent medical referral No session Immediate medical referral 26 Massage Guidelines for Elevated Risk and Symptoms High level of concern DVT Risk and Symptoms Avoid contact w/lower extremities Urgent/immediate med referral 27 9
10 Massage Guidelines for Elevated DVT Risk DVT Risk No symptoms Use DVT Risk Principle 1 Use DVT Risk Principle 2 28 DVT Risk Principle 1 If there is an elevated risk of thrombosis, use cautious pressure (level 1 or 2 maximum) on areas of risk and avoid joint movement in these areas. 29 DVT Risk Principle 2 Follow DVT Risk Principle 1 until client s MD: 1. Assesses client s DVT risk 2. Understands concern about disturbance by direct pressure/joint mvt 3. Speaks directly to your concerns about massage & DVT 4. Approves direct pressure/joint mvt in area 30 10
11 Story #1 68 year old client Breast cancer history (Completed tx 2 yr ago) Taking tamoxifen Hypertension Wanted medium pr on legs HOW MANY Risk Factors? 3 31 Story #1 68 year old client Breast cancer history (Completed tx 2 yr ago) Taking tamoxifen Hypertension Wanted medium pr on legs HOW MANY Risk Factors? 3 32 Story #1 68 year old client Breast cancer history (Completed tx 2 yr ago) Taking tamoxifen Hypertension Wanted medium pr on legs HOW MANY Risk Factors?
12 Story #1 68 year old client Breast cancer history (Completed tx 2 yr ago) Taking tamoxifen Hypertension Wanted medium pr on legs? HOW MANY Risk Factors? 3 34 Story #1 68 year old client Breast cancer history (Completed tx 2 yr ago) Taking tamoxifen Hypertension Wanted medium pr on legs HOW MANY Risk Factors? 3 35 Story #1 68 year old client Breast cancer history (Completed tx 2 yr ago) Taking tamoxifen Hypertension Wanted medium pr on legs It s fine to massage! HOW MANY Risk Factors?
13 Did These Steps Occur? Has the physician: x x x 1. Assessed client s DVT risk 2. Understood concern about disturbance by direct pressure/joint mvt 3. Spoken directly to MT s concerns about massage & DVT 4. Approved direct pressure/joint mvt in area 37 No, No, No, And no. Continue with DVT Risk Principle 1 38 Story #1 Eventually talked more with client s physician Dr. approved pressure on lower extremities Advanced pressure to level 3 there Continued for years Then back to DVT Risk Principle 1 as client aged, health (CV events) 39 13
14 Story #2 38 year old client Pancreatic cancer (Advanced, in treatment) Abdominal surgery (1 wk ago) Wanted medium pr on legs HOW MANY Risk Factors? 3 40 Story #2 38 year old client Pancreatic cancer (Advanced, in treatment) Abdominal surgery (1 wk ago) Wanted medium pr on legs HOW MANY Risk Factors? 3 41 Did These Steps Occur? Has the physician: 1. Assessed client s DVT risk 2. Understood concern about disturbance by direct pressure/joint mvt 3. Spoken directly to MT s concerns about massage & DVT 4. Approved direct pressure/joint mvt in area 42 14
15 Yes, Yes, Yes, And yes. Discontinue DVT Risk Principle 1 Advance pressure to Level 3 on lower extremities 43 What to do to Enhance MD Communication? No time for conversation Try in writing Use pressure scale Get client involved Involve nurse Concerns dismissed Use pressure scale Press the point Involve nurse 44 Practicing DVT Risk Principle 1 Indefinitely Client taking blood thinners due to DVT history When DVT risk level not going to improve When DVT risk level expected to heighten 45 15
16 Lean More Conservatively Massage settings favoring single-time or occasional clients 46 The Massage Setting/ Continuity of Care Principle In massage settings Favoring single-time rather than repeat clients Lacking continuity of care Using little or no documentation therapists should take a cautious approach to medical conditions 47 Ask Questions Any past or current health care providers stated concern about your blood clot risk? Are any of the following things true for you? [List risk factors] Any CV conditions? Any BP or heart medications? Any of the following? [List DVT Signs/Symptoms] Activity level, day to day, week to week? What is your age? 48 16
17 What To Say to Client? In yr health history, things that can blood clot risk in the legs In MT, don t disturb at-risk areas until MD can advise (Even when there are no symptoms) Today, avoid significant pressure/movement of legs Focus on upper body, bottoms of feet Cautious approach, but best If you want more pressure, let s get MD input 49 Add, for a 1-Time Client It s a 1-time session while you are here I need to work gently on your legs If you were scheduled for a course of massage, we could bring your doctor into conversation Today, focus on things that can help you feel better, not worse. Upper body focus, plus bottoms of feet. How s that sound? 50 Review DVT Approaches Approaches to DVT symptoms and risk What do they have in common? How to use? 51 17
18 Massage Guidelines for Symptoms DVT Signs & Symptoms (no dx) Pain Tenderness Swelling Warmth Redness Superficial veins dilated Palpable cord Cyanosis in nailbeds, skin Fever of unknown origin Massage Therapy Guidelines Avoid pressure > level 1 on lower extremities Avoid joint movement on lower extremities Urgent medical referral Liability precaution: Avoid contact with lower extremities Urgent medical referral No session Immediate medical referral 52 Massage Guidelines for Elevated DVT Risk DVT Risk No symptoms Use DVT Risk Principle 1 Use DVT Risk Principle 2 53 Massage Guidelines for Elevated Risk and Symptoms High level of concern DVT Risk and Symptoms Avoid contact w/lower extremities Urgent/immediate med referral 54 18
19 Common Features of these DVT Approaches 1. Conservative, cautious 2. Can be difficult to assess when to use 3. BUT, easy to implement 4. Often easy to convince client 5. Involve physician 55 Our Thinking Process DVT = too much information? No clear recommendations Conservative options Conscious thinking process Map and compass, not a GPS 56 Reflections on DVT and MT Role MTs apply pressure on lower extremities Can t diagnose Not highly educated Low risk tolerance High stakes 57 19
