Hey everybody, it's Doctor Jo. Today we're
gonna talk about desenstizizensation... no...
desensensation... no... Desensitizing something!
A lot of times when people have a surgery
or an injury, the nerves get all crazy and
flared up. And so you have to desensitize
the area and help the nerves grow back to
where their supposed to. So all you need is
just a bunch of different things that have
different textures. And I have a towel, a
cotton ball, a fork, and kind of a silk cloth.
What you're gonna do is the area that feels
weird, lots of times it's a numbness, tingly,
burning kind of feeling, just take the first
object you want to do, and lightly rub it
over the area. It might feel weird, it might
fee really uncomfortable. It might actually
hurt a little bit, even if it's just a little
cotton ball. But rub it over that area for
about 30 seconds to a minute and then move
on to the next texture. A plastic fork works
well, make sure you don't stab yourself, but
just kind of rubbing it again lightly over
the area to help those nerves find their way
back to where they're supposed to be. And
then move on to the next one. Kind of a silk
cloth. Just rubbing it on that area. You can
kind of move the body part a little bit, too,
while you're rubbing it. And maybe like a
course towel that's not as soft. And just
rubbing it on that area. So about, you know,
3-5 minutes a day, just desensitizing the
area, and there you have it. If you have any
questions, leave them in the comments section.
