If an incision were made on the small of the back, would it be possible to fit a hand in as so to grasp the spine and lift the person? I imagine the back muscles may be obstacles to such an attempt, or perhaps internal organs.
Would a human have enough strength in one arm to lift another human? Or is human2 a child?Well, it wouldn't be a monster, just a human doing that. I don't think the person would get paralyzed unless the other person intentionally meant to break it. I was just wondering, would the thoracolumbar fascia need to be cut away? That is, if the skin is cut, would it provide direct access to the spine? Or are the muscles attached in a manner such that they obstruct the spine from the back? I looked at a few pictures of back muscles on google; could one simply push the erector spinae to the side and slip their fingers through? And what about the 'front' part of the spine; anything attached there? Or internal organs that might accidentally get poked and thus infected/injured?

Yes, it would be done to a child.
I see. I was thinking if the hand was wrapped around the muscles as well as the spine, but that would be unwieldly. The problem seems to be that each of the tendons are connected to each vertebrae, rather than my mental image of being able to slip through muscle groups like the separation between, say, bicep and shoulder. I think.
Not with mine. I have no muscles. (Interesting story - I was actually born with no muscles at all. Couldn't even walk. It took almost a year, I think...)There are a bunch of muscles associated with the lumbar region.
Outside of a horror story I cannot comprehend reading about this taking place anywhere. What is the reason for doing this to someone else?
I see, thanks. I will rule it out and use something else. It seems there are too many things to make it fail. I just wanted something a little different.
The story is difficult to describe, but running theme is conflict of loyalty and interest. What happens here is that the child escapes from a kidnapping, but due to the kidnapper having clout with police, manages to recapture the child. But not before the child kidnaps the kidnapper's daughter and hides her away and sends a video to the man to make him admit his crimes to clear the boy so he can return home. The boy tries to wait it out so the man cracks, and thus is threatened with disability if he doesn't spill the beans, as he could wait out 'regular' torture. Bending the boy wouldn't break his back, as he is one of those circus contortion types. But the man can't risk hurting the boy too much or else the boy will simply give up on freedom. A balancing act, if you will.

That's why I don't exercise. I know the value of muscles. I don't want to wear them out.
I do like this idea very much. Unless it's a horror story, I wonder if you need to make the workings so extreme. There's a lot of harm that can be done to children (to anyone) by a bully - even a bully who doesn't see themselves as such - with words and threats and power-plays. The child, being a child, will often then act out with more actual physical damage to a smaller child.He also doesn't want his kids to think badly of him, which introduces mental gymnastics on his part but the boy doesn't talk much about that- a lot of kids don't, I think. The whole story is pretty much about these relationship's conflicts, so there can't be anything too extreme.
