Keep reading to learn about how massage can help with any back or neck pain you are experiencing currently.
Massage for Back Pain
The term back pain is used to describe any pain that’s experienced along the spine. Back pain is most commonly felt in the lower back, however, it can start up towards the neck and go all the way down to the hips. Many clients who visit us at A Mindful Root have been experiencing back pain for many months or years before receiving treatment. If you are struggling to go about your usual day-to-day activities, it’s crucial you book yourself in for a massage to start reducing the pain you are experiencing.
Massage can provide plenty of pain relief for anyone with back pain, and especially if you’ve experienced back strain, you’ll find the pain can be controlled. You’ll enjoy quick yet long-lasting relief following a massage. At A Mindful Root, we offer combination treatments, Swedish massage, and deep tissue massage and will work with you to select the best option for your treatment. As well as working to relieve your back pain, we’ll also target other areas which may have been impacted by this pain and misalignment. The quads and glutes support your lower back and hips, and when these muscles are fatigued or strained, it can often result in back stiffness.
Massage for Neck Pain
Research suggests that neck pain can be eliminated or relieved by a professional massage therapist when used as part of your regular treatment routine. It’s recommended to always opt for at least a 60-minute massage for neck pain, as this will give your therapist enough time to target the areas surrounding your neck which may have caused this pain in the first place. Neck pain may come about as a sudden issue following an injury or accident but could also be a long-term concern you’ve been struggling with. Regardless of what triggered your neck pain in the first place, we’re here to help you find some relief to enjoy your regular active lifestyle.
The neck is a particularly sensitive area of the body, so we always recommend avoiding self-massage or asking a family member for help in this area. A professional massage therapist will know exactly how to treat your neck and will assess your range of motion before your session. They’ll look at how the rest of your muscles have compensated for this pain, which you wouldn’t be able to do by yourself. While we know neck pain can be very concerning for individuals suffering from this, you’ll find that professional assistance will soon work to relieve any discomfort you are facing.
