HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the history of cardiac surgery (Open heart) then there is special program available called cardiac rehabilitation program and this can be tried only when it is being advised by cardiologist else no is there for any massage therapy, hope this information helps, take care.
