Massage Therapy and Your Back

If done correctly, massage therapy can work wonders for people with back pain. It may not always be the best choice, and it may not work for everyone. But most people will get great results if the massage therapist has a good understanding of the human body, muscle imbalances, and how to work with them. A word of caution: Massage therapy should never be considered a substitute for proper medical attention.

There is no denying the positive effects massage can have on the body. Most massage therapists use a variety of techniques during a session, such as energy techniques and stretching, along with traditional massage. Many universities has coordinated more than 100 studies that document the therapeutic effects of massage. One study on massage and back pain found that massage decreased back pain and depression while also improving sleep and range of motion for most joints.

Massage therapy is based on the belief that when muscles are overworked, waste products can accumulate in the muscle, causing soreness and stiffness. Massage therapy aims to stimulate blood flow and release toxins from muscles and tissues. It can also help to break the pain-spasm cycle by:
Relaxing tight muscles or muscles in spasm
Increasing circulation, which can reduce heart rate and lower blood pressure
Improving oxygen and nutrition flow to the painful area
Increasing range of motion
Finding and relaxing trigger points
Increasing production of the body’s natural painkillers
The massage therapist, while working systematically with each muscle in the body, may use a light stroke or deep kneading action depending on what he or she thinks is right for the patient and his or her comfort level. Trigger points are relieved through sustained pressure. As it is determined which trigger points contribute to pain, the patient can learn how to massage them to help decrease pain.

Although massage is usually safe, the patient should avoid it if he or she has open sores, acute inflammation, circulatory problems, edema (swelling), herniated discs, fever, or other conditions that require waiting until the acute nature of those conditions has subsided.
