Lower Back Pain…
A large percent of clients that come through my door have experienced lower back pain without relief.
But unless you have actual nerve impingement that needs medical attention, massage and bodywork can be very helpful in releasing those pain patterns that are keeping you from work and having fun. Invest in yourself and it will pay off. Stop looking at massage as a luxury, and give yourself what you need.
An article I just found on the AMTA’s site provides you with an informative study:
Massage Therapy Can Help Low-Back Pain
In a study published in the February 2014 edition of Scientific World Journal, researchers investigated whether chronic low-back pain therapy with massage therapy alone was as effective as combining it with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. The study was conducted on 59 individuals divided into two groups, all of whom suffered from low-back pain and were diagnosed with degenerative changes of the spine, other intervertebral disc diseases or spine pain.
In both patient groups, the pain measured was significantly reduced and the level of disability showed significant improvement compared to the baseline. Researchers concluded massage had a positive effect on patients with chronic low-back pain and propose that the use of massage causes fast therapeutic results and that, in practice, it could help to reduce the use of anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of chronic low-back pain .
Working with the Craniosacral System, the Fascia, and the Muscles to come into balance can change your whole attitude about life. When your pain goes away, life seems a lot easier and brighter.
