While most people wouldn’t have issue with the idea of a regular massage, if you are one of the many who suffers from lower back pain, the following are ways that regular massage for back pain can help you find serious relief:
1. Increased blood flow. Increased blood flow is a known proponent of muscle recovery and studies confirm that massage therapy helps improve general blood flow and reduces soreness.
Research also shows that massage therapy improves the vascular function in people who have and have not exercised, which suggests that the vascular benefits of massage may span beyond the recipient’s level of physical activity.
2. Decreased tension. While muscle tension is needed by the body to maintain body posture and general movements, too much tension causes pain and muscle restriction, especially in the lower back and neck. Massage therapy is clinically proven to decrease muscle tension.
3. Increased endorphins. Endorphins are the feel good chemicals in the brain. Massage tactics including acupressure and trigger point therapy generate these endorphins, which are known to reduce pain and produce a sense of euphoria.
Research shows a mere 15 minutes of massage can spark endorphins, creating up to 48 hours of their feel-good effects.
The Takeaway Massage is not a luxury that is only available for those who like to indulge at luxury spas and upscale resorts.
Research shows that massage therapy is a clinically proven method to reduce symptoms of widespread and debilitating conditions, including lower back pain.
ACTION POINT :
Make a regular appointment. If you suffer from lower back pain, massage therapy should be part of your regular health program.
Scheduling a bi-weekly or monthly appointment with your preferred therapist is important for continued healing.
