    I have a client who has had a disc removed from between his shoulder blades as it was pressing on his spinal cord. The operation was 5 months ago and he still experiences knotting… Any advice or cautions? Many thanks 🙂

    Hi Tameka

    Can you confirm if the removed vertebra is part of the thoracic spine? And also while we’re at it, did they just remove it and not fuse anything or place any hardware in there?

    Namaste

    Thanks so much for the quick reply! Yep it is the thoracic i’m referring to- sorry am using my student’s non anatomical terminology!! And they tell me that they had a disc inserted and fused…

    Thanks again for the help

    Hi Tameka

    Has your student had massage? If he’s experiencing knotting then someone with their hands on the offending tightness could help.

    However a wonderful thing he can do at just about any time is to use a firm ball to lie on. This will undo just about any knot in the spine.

    If you’re not familiar with this technique let me know and I give you some pointers. Because there are certain things to do and to be aware of.

    What may be even more effective is for the student to come and post so we can get some first hand communication. I am fine either way of course 😉

    Namaste
    Gabrielle 🙂
