How sports massage helps back pain

Back pain in active people usually builds from load rather than one event. Runners load the back through tight calves and hamstrings, desk workers through hips held bent for hours, lifters through bracing. Sports massage for back pain treats the back and the tissue that pulls on it.

The back line of Fascia

A continuous line of Fascia runs from under the toes up the calves and hamstrings, across the pelvis and up both sides of the spine. When part of that line shortens, the back is the section that has to stretch to make up the difference.

Your session

Bending, rotation and a straight leg raise are tested first. Around a third of the hands on time goes on the calves, hamstrings and glutes, a third on the muscles beside the spine and the rest on the ribcage, shoulders and neck. The tests are repeated at the end.

Between sessions

Short walks through the day, getting up from a desk every 30 to 45 minutes and sleeping on your side with a pillow between the knees all reduce the load on the back.

★★★★★
I arrived at my first session in a lot of pain as my back had gone again and didn't really know what to expect. I walked out pain free and astounded.

I chanced on James through a friend's referral just before I was to be sent for surgery through the NHS. He was a breath of fresh air in terms of how he assessed and treated the injury.
