A member asked:

Portuguese doctors wont operate on back because of severe scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis. whats best massage therapy and how many times per week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a massage proble: This is not a problem that is treated primarily with massage therapy. Many risks associated with severe spine curvature corrections. You need to address this issue with a spine surgeon specialist after a full exam to know what is safe and what could potentially harm you if you were positioned incorrectly by a therapist.
