Hemiplegia is defined as a condition in which one of the longitudinal halves of the body is paralysed, and either the motor or sensory functions are lost. Falij (Hemiplegia) impairs movement and sensation in the longitudinal half of the body because the penetration of Roohe Hassas and Muharrik (sensory and motor transmission of impulses) into the organs may either be stopped or the Rooh (pneuma) may penetrate but the organs may be unresponsive due to Sue Mizaj-e-Aza (Abnormal temperament of organs). Stroke incidence was estimated to be between 180 to 300 per 100,000 people, making it a significant cause of medical death. One or more disability is reported by up to 90% of survivors among those annually impacted. Stroke management has always been difficult for all medical systems. Modern medicine has made significant advancements in the treatment and control of both ischemic and haemorrhagic strokes in life-threatening situations, but not in the post-stroke hemiplegia management. Unani system of medicine have shown their great effect in the management of Falij and prevention from permanent disabilities through its renounced and emerging branch ilaj-bit-tadbeer (Regimenal Therapy). In ilaj-bit-tadbeer one of famous and effective regimen, Dalk (Massage Therapy) have shown efficacy in the management of past stroke hemiplegia. Dalk is used as rehabilitation in hemiplegia due ot its various mechanisms and effects on different systems of the body. Dalk liquefy Rutubat-i-badan, liquefy Akhlat-i-fasida (morbid humours), create Latif Hararat (Heat) in the body, and strengthen ligaments, tendons and muscles, increases the blood circulation in the affected part, relieves pain and stress, increase the atrophied muscles mass, and produces mechanical stimulus and reflexes in paralyzed muscles and hence improves the sensory and motor impairments. The information in this article will assist readers in understanding how Dalk affects paralysed muscles and how to use Dalk to improve the lives of hemiplegia patients and other paralyzed patients
