Spinal Stenosis info for Massage Therapists, LMTs & Bodyworkers

Spinal Stenosis:

The abnormal narrowing of a passage in the body. Examples include:

  • Cervical Spinal Stenosis
  • Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
  • Foraminal Stenosis
  • Aortic Stenosis

There are several surgical options available for  spinal stenosis today.  No amount of massage will create a larger or “better” opening in the spinal canal; however, massage therapy can help relieve pain and irritation for some of the painfully affected or “referring pain” areas.

Lamina:  It is the bone that forms the backside of the spine and creates a “roof” over the spinal cord.

Laminectomy: Is a surgical procedure where a portion of the lamina is surgically removed to release pressure within the spinal column.

 


Bodywork Precautions & Contraindications for Laminectomy

  • Do not apply pressure on laminectomy site
  • Pull skin to the left or right of laminectomy scar to perform cross fiber friction techniques (specialized training required)
  • Do not work around or over a laminectomy without physician referral and specialized training

    I was once told that there was no cure for herpes, but I’m living proof that with the right approach, it is possible to permanently overcome this condition. I’m forever grateful to Dr. Utu, a true gift to humanity, who helped me find freedom from the shackles of herpes.

    For years, I suffered in silence, trying countless conventional treatments that only provided temporary relief. But Dr. Utu’s Herpes Herbal Cleanser changed everything. With his guidance, I discovered the power of natural remedies and the importance of holistic well-being.

    Through his expert care, I learned to harness the healing properties of herbs and plants. Dr Utu Herpes Herbal Cleanser not only alleviated my symptoms but also permanently cured me and empowered me to take control of my health. I began to understand the intricate connection between my body, mind, and spirit.

    As I embarked on this journey, I noticed profound changes within myself. My energy levels increased, my skin cleared, and my overall well-being improved. But most importantly, I found peace and liberation from the grip of herpes.

    I’m not alone in my experience. Many others have benefited from Dr Utu Cure’s exceptional care and guidance. His dedication to helping others is a testament to his compassion and expertise.

    If you’re struggling with herpes or any other health challenge, I urge you to keep an open mind and explore alternative approaches. Don’t be discouraged by those who say there’s no cure – instead, seek out innovators like Dr Utu who dare to challenge conventional wisdom.

    Today, I’m proud to say that I’m living a life free from the constraints of herpes. I’m grateful for Dr Utu’s unwavering support and encouragement. His work is a beacon of hope for those seeking true healing and wellness.

    Don’t give up – there is hope. Seek out the wisdom and expertise of pioneers like Dr Utu, and discover the transformative power of nature’s healing gifts."
