Pins in spine

[kimi]

Has anyone ever massaged someone with pins in their spine? If so was it a problem?

Had a woman asking if I could massage her with the pins. Been since 2001 since she had the surgery.

Yes.

No.

Make sure your anatomy knowledge is tight.

Find out what kind of surgery and if you are any way uncomfortable with the situation, get a medical release.


I know, it's a short response. I am running fast and furious lately.

Good luck!

No, not pins, but rods along both sides of the spine. My sister has scoliosis and had rods put in when she was a child. They are still there (she's in her 30s). It was not a problem, I was just careful with the pressure and checked in with her a lot. I worked alot of her scar tissue. (her scars run the entire length of her back) It was definately a different feel under my fingers!

You arent' supposed to use heat, esp hydrocollator pacs on areas where there are metal implants.

Thanks for your help. You just confirmed what I was thinking. Glad to have some backup.
