A recent death has highlighted the severe dangers associated with neck-twisting massages.

The issue gained public attention when it was reported that singer Phing Chyada experienced deteriorating symptoms after such a massage, initially received for shoulder pain relief, leading to paralysis and eventually, her death.

The Drama Addict Facebook page shared information about the case, cautioning against neck and spine massages due to the potential for severe damage to blood vessels.

Thai neurologist Dr. Thiravat Hemachudha reiterated these concerns, citing cases where individuals suffered paralysis following cervical spine adjustments.

He emphasized the elevated risk among individuals with obesity or high blood pressure, who are more susceptible to stroke-induced paralysis from similar treatments.

Health experts urge caution and recommend immediate medical attention for symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or limb weakness following massage therapy.
