Any tried this (in conjunction with active stretching) prior to surgery to help loosen things up? It stands to reason the less tight your muscles are going in, the less muscular pain you'd feel post-op ...
(Hah! ... I've almost checked off everything on "the mother of all lists", so I'm now developing personal theories to stave off boredom. I'm just ready to get this OVER with! ;-)
I plan to schedule an hour with my guy every day next week - and probably the Monday before surgery, as well. If it works, it's money well spent, if not, at least I find it relaxing ... there's not a scenario I can imagine where it could be detrimental.
And what's the consensus on massage post-op? Obviously not until after the incision heals, and I'd guess probably not until the fusion takes ... and *definitely* someone experienced in massage for fused spines. Anything else?

Pam
