What brought this client in.
A retired client with diabetic neuropathy came to Chris with discomfort involving his feet, knees, and legs.
Because his sensation can differ, Chris pays close attention to how the client responds to pressure and to the work during the session.
How Chris approached it.
Chris's account lists stretching, range-of-motion work, deep tissue massage, and trigger point work. He adjusts pressure and techniques around what the client can feel and how he responds.
CBD has occasionally been used during sessions. The account describes visits usually about once a week, rather than a standard schedule recommended for everyone with neuropathy.

Client feedback and Chris's observations. No outcome percentages or clinical measurements were recorded.
The client reports relief from discomfort in his legs and feet and continues coming regularly because of that experience.
Chris says the client has referred several other people to him. Those referrals reflect the client's satisfaction, not evidence that neuropathy has improved.
Where things stand
They've worked together for about one year, and Chris continues to see him approximately once a week. The case describes ongoing visits and reported relief, not recovery of sensation or resolution of diabetes or neuropathy.
Your experience is your own.
This case documents reported comfort during ongoing visits. It doesn't measure nerve function or show a change in diabetes or neuropathy, and it doesn't establish a benefit from CBD.
Your situation comes first.
Diabetic neuropathy can reduce sensation and increase the risk of foot problems. Keep your diabetes and foot care with your healthcare team, and discuss whether massage and its pressure are appropriate before booking. Feeling less discomfort isn't proof that the underlying condition has improved.
