Lower back pain will affect everyone eventually.
In some cases the pain may be caused by a change in skeletal structure such as degeneration of vertebra causing compression of nerves. More commonly for younger individuals (under 50) the sudden pain felt as a grab or ache is caused by a sudden muscle spasm and your muscles wanting to protect your spine.
A rehabilitation program using both massage and core strength building will help keep you on your feet.
When you see a remedial massage therapist with a painful back, they will normally first check your legs through a range of movement.
A general remedial massage treatment will involve work on both legs (hamstrings and quads), hip flexors and rotators and lower back. Working through muscle and facia tension.
Depending on your body you may notice a big difference when you get off the table or lesser affect of feeling a bit looser though still sore.
Unfortunately once lower back pain strikes it can be a slow process, with remedial massage being one of a few elements used to reduce and maintain your pain and back.
