Lower back pain and
neck pain can have many potential causes. Pain in these areas can be anything
from an occasional ache to a debilitating and constant discomfort that affects
a person’s work and home life. These two areas are prone to tension
accumulation due to how a person walks, sits, and even sleeps.
Although massage is
relatively safe, it is always advisable for patients to first check with their
doctor before beginning massage therapy or any other treatment. There are some
contraindications for massage therapy, such as (but not limited to): recent
surgery; infectious skin disease, rash, or unhealed wound; varicose veins; and osteoporosis.
Massage has been proven to relieve chronic lower back pain. Massage for lower
back pain is a technique that relaxes muscles in the area through the
application of pressure. The area is rubbed in the direction in which blood
flows back to the heart. Massage can improve blood circulation and this is one
of the reasons it can aid in the recovery of muscle strain and pains. Massage relaxes
the muscles, allowing them to achieve an improved motion range. This relaxation
of the muscles can also prevent other ailments related to the back and neck
pain, such as insomnia, posture, and range of motion. Massage for lower back
pain results in an increase in the levels of endorphins in the body, the
chemicals associated with improved mental well-being, and this can also lead to
the effectiveness of massage for managing chronic back pain.
Due to things like
busy schedules, travel times to a good massage therapist in your area, or
personal privacy, getting a hands-on massage may just not work for your
lifestyle. Many massage therapy professionals will work as part of an
interdisciplinary healthcare team for patient evaluation and treatment. The
right healthcare team for you will depend on your specific back problem and
personal preferences. Some forms of massage can leave you feeling a bit sore
the next day. But massage shouldn't ordinarily be painful or uncomfortable. If
any part of your massage doesn't feel right or is painful, speak up right away.
Most serious problems come from too much pressure during massage.
