lots of 'osises

[MiJA]

I've done a search on spinal fusions and came up with the fact that this board and it's members are an amazing resource!

I have a new client tomorrow that through chatting with her I've learned that she has had a number of back surgeries. Surgery for scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphosis. There are a number of fusions done along her spine though I won't have the details until after I see her tomorrow. She's probably in her 50's and the surgeries were done right out of high school. Anything in particular I should keep in mind? I've worked with scoliosis and a fusion but this is beyond where I've gone to date.

Thanks for loaning your experience and knowlege to us all

I work with someone regularly who has had scoliosis surgery. I'm sure every person has their unique issues with the condition, as well as with the treatment.
My person has a very sensitive area where a rib was removed, and sensitivity where the metal parts attach in her spine (she got a chain rather than a rod; I guess it was an experiment that didn't prove all that effective).
She gets tons of tension built up in her hips; ql and glutes primarily.
