this gentleman is in his 60's. He states pain in upper back area. His back in the thoracic area is bowed out, sorta like pics of mild kyphosis (a medical diagnosis i'm not qualified to make). His whole upper back is very hard and dense..i cant palpitate anything. But his upper traps are flaccid.
I dont how to massage him. How do i address his upper back? I cannot feel his scaps or spine, let alone any muscle tissue.
Second question...i have moist heat pacs. His skin however pinks up quickly. Is it safe to use the heat pacs on someone like this?
I'd be so grateful for any suggestions, thanks.
