A member asked:

I got reiki done and man told me that ligaments in my back are twisted and the muscles have adapted to this, can that happen? i suffer from back pain.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reiki is an : Energy technique. Unless the practitioner is medically trained, ask a licensed MD what is going on and what are your back issues. Good luck. Muscles can adapt to poor posture adding to your pain. I have seen that so watch how you stand, sit and walk. Good luck.
