Scar Tissue Release for Tattoos
BY DIANE HOVEY T
attoos, or "body art" as my clients like to call them, are a common sight here in California. That's why the large tattoo covering the upper back of the young man standing in my treatment room did not engender a response other than passing interest in the art itself while I completed his postural reassessment. He had come to me for help relieving his constant lower back and hip pain acquired while he attended college on a football scholarship, so my attention focused on the interesting collection of postural distortions and biomechanical dysfunction, not the wings spread across his shoulders.
