Hi Dror, With the supine neck massage techniques we've been practising I'd like your opinion on whether it is safe to apply these to someone with hyperkyphosis (Dowager's hump). Is there anything I need to be especially careful of when handling this area? Thanks

    Hi Nicky, first, most important to to set enough pillow for this person so his/her head rests really fully and comfortably on the cushion. I would work on improving the flexibility of the kyphosis. In terms of the neck, a lot of traction.

    I'll do that, thank you!
