Oh, my back still hurts! – said my friend Thomas, as he was coming to see me for a coffee.
I asked: Why don’t you try a massage? It has many positive health benefits that can help you to feel better and solve your back problem!
If you suffer from back pain you are not alone. Researches shows that every 1 people out 6 has back pain. It can range from very minor muscle spasms caused by exercise to chronic and debilitating discomfort. Professional therapists offers a safe and easily accessible method to treat, if not resolve, many of these instances. So how does massage actually treat back pain and what types of massage work best?
Massage is a non-invasive, low risk therapy which provides many benefits physically and psychologically. For many people suffering from back pain, both temporary or serious chronic complaints, massage is an accepted method of treating and reducing symptoms along with the underlying issues.
By working and manipulating the back muscles, massage encourages increased blood flow to the affected areas of the back. This in turn helps to promote healing, particularly in the case of soreness caused by physical activity or soft tissue injury.
On the other hand during the massage, endorphins go into your brain. These are the chemicals which promote happiness and wellbeing within the brain. They also reduce pain and anxiety. Massage techniques are known to generate increased endorphin levels. This not only helps to make you feel better but also promotes healing within the body.
Excessive muscle tension can cause restricted movement and pain, particularly around the neck or lower back. Massage promotes relaxation of key muscle groups eliminating associated pain and increasing flexibility.
