Working on the "Parkinson's Stoop". Client prefers the chair to the table due to the extreme curvature in the C/T spine. Extremely limited ROM. Any suggestions for stretching this type of client?

I think you need to find out what the clients dr is doing for treatment. Perhaps the dr has something in mind for the curvature. This is a very sensative area because our spinal cord is housed within those vertebrae. I would try heat first then gentle strokes to try to lengthen the area first, with doing this almost everyday I think you'll see some change in the muscle tone and overall curve of the back without actually stretching it in a vigrous way.
