Massage Therapy for Lower Back Pain Relief

An auto accident injury is one of the most likely reasons you may have lower back pain. Often your seatbelt prevented you from having a serious injury, but the force of the accident, being thrown forward - while your hips and lower body were being held against your seat - creates injury in the lower back muscles.

1. Massage therapy is direct, hands on therapy to bring you immediate natural pain relief

2. Massage therapy works by working the surface muscle tightness out then working deeper to the root of your injury to bring you lasting pain relief

3. Lower back pain relief comes from focused work where you have immediate pain, and also the muscles which are opposite to the injured muscles - working these muscle relationships brings real pain relief

4. Massage is natural pain relief, it is goal oriented, and follows your doctor's prescription, and treatment plan set up by your massage therapist

When you have muscle pain and spasm, your muscles feel to you like a tight fist. The blood is restricted, movement is often slow and painful and the muscles that support the originally injured tissues have become fatigued and are adding to your pain cycle.

Massage works by reducing inflammation in the injured tissue, decreasing scar tissue as the body is healing, and increasing overall flexibility. Reducing the tight fist, or muscle spasm in your tissues will bring relief almost immediately.
