Lower Back Pain
Massage for Lower Back Pain
Lasting Relief from Tension, Strain, and Stiffness
Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal issues, affecting people from all walks of life. Whether it’s caused by poor posture, prolonged sitting, muscle strain, stress, or an underlying condition, remedial massage provides targeted relief by releasing tension, restoring mobility, and promoting healing.
How Massage Can Help
Eases Deep Muscle Tension
Chronic tightness in the lower back can cause pain and stiffness. Massage works deep into the muscles, breaking up knots and releasing built-up tension.
Improves mobility and flexibility. Stiffness in the lower back, hips, and surrounding muscles can limit movement. Massage improves circulation, enhances flexibility, and restores a full range of motion.
Addresses postural imbalances
Poor posture, whether caused by prolonged sitting, improper lifting, or standing for extended periods, can place undue strain on the lower back. Massage helps correct muscle imbalances, reducing stress on the spine.
Reduces stress-related tension
Stress often leads to unconscious muscle clenching, especially in the lower back. Massage promotes relaxation, easing physical and mental tension.
Speeds up injury recovery
If your lower back pain is due to a strain, sprain, or muscle spasm, massage increases blood flow to the affected area, reducing inflammation and accelerating healing.
Supports muscular balance
The lower back relies on strong, balanced muscles for support. Massage helps relieve tension in surrounding areas, such as the glutes, hips, hamstrings and quads, which can contribute to back pain.
Who Can Benefit?
- Office workers and drivers experiencing stiffness from prolonged sitting.
- Athletes and active individuals with muscle tightness from training or injury.
- Manual labourers who regularly lift heavy objects.
- Parents of young children who also need to do a lot of lifting and carrying.
- Anyone with stress-related muscle tension in the lower back.
- People recovering from injuries such as strains, sprains, or sciatica.
By reducing pain, restoring mobility, and preventing future strain, remedial massage is an effective and natural way to relieve lower back pain and keep you moving freely.
