How Can Massage Therapy Help with Chronic Back Pain?

Massage therapy helps relieve chronic back pain by reducing muscle tension, improving blood flow, and releasing tight knots that contribute to stiffness and discomfort. At Healing Hands Massage and Acupuncture in Brassall, we offer personalized sessions designed to ease pain naturally.

🩺 Why Massage Therapy Works for Back Pain

Chronic back pain often comes from:

  • Muscle tension and trigger points
  • Poor posture or long hours sitting
  • Old injuries or inflammation
  • Stress and emotional tension stored in the body

Massage therapy targets these root causes by:

  • Releasing tight muscles and trigger points
  • Improving circulation to speed healing
  • Increasing flexibility in stiff joints and muscles
  • Reducing cortisol (the stress hormone) and boosting mood

🔍 Which Massage Techniques Help the Most?

At Healing Hands Massage and Acupuncture in Brassall, we use several techniques to relieve chronic back pain:

1. Remedial Massage

Great for addressing deep muscle knots and long-term pain patterns.

2. Deep Tissue Massage

Targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue — ideal for tension buildup.

3. Trigger Point Therapy

Releases “knots” that refer pain to other areas (like your lower back or hips).

4. Myofascial Release

Stretches and softens the connective tissue around your muscles to restore movement.

🕒 How Many Sessions Do You Need?

Everyone is different, but we typically recommend:

  • 1–2 sessions/week for severe or persistent pain
  • Bi-weekly or monthly maintenance to prevent flare-ups

Your massage therapist will create a personalized plan during your first visit.
