Lower Back Pain and Massage Therapy

Got pain in your lower back?  Want to know how to get rid of it? |

Therapeutic massage could be the ‘magic pill’ that you are seeking to get rid of that low back pain!

Here’s why your lower back aches:

There are muscles on the front and back sides of your body and on the outer sides of your spine.  If any of those muscles get out of balance–some tight and some weaker–you can have lower back pain.

Those muscle can get out of balance from lifting with a rounded back, twisting and tilting while lifting, having a leg length difference, or something as simple as always sitting or sleeping in the same position.

How can a massage therapist help?

If you go to a massage therapist who only rubs your back, that is not usually the person for you.  They’re not likely to help you get rid of your lower back pain.  (Unless they zero in on the QL muscle which is the twisting-tilting muscle if that’s the problem.)

You want to go to a massage therapist who has extensive and advanced training and who understands HOW bodies get into pain and HOW to help them get out of pain.
