Does your massage therapist do a postural analysis before massaging you? Abnormal curves in the spine should be taken into consideration by the therapist before massaging. Kyphosis is characterized by the back being rounded ( hunched) and the chest flattened. Lordosis is characterized by a slouching posture and forward tilt of the pelvis. Commonly called hollow or sway back. It is important to identify these postures to personalize the massage and make the client as comfortable as possible. It is also necessary so that the therapist does not increase the symptoms of the posture. Make sure that you are comfortable when being massaged.
