Condition-Specific Treatment

Massage Therapy for Back Pain Relief

Back pain affects nearly everyone at some point. Whether it's chronic tension from desk work or acute pain from activity, therapeutic massage addresses the root cause—not just the symptoms.

How Massage Helps Back Pain

Most back pain stems from muscle tension, imbalances, and trigger points rather than structural damage. Prolonged sitting, poor posture, repetitive movements, and stress all contribute to chronic back tension.

Therapeutic massage addresses back pain by releasing tight muscles, breaking up adhesions, and restoring proper muscle function. Techniques like deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy target the specific muscles causing your pain—often including the erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, and the muscles of the hip complex that refer pain to the back.

  • Unexplained weight loss with back pain
