How often do you complain about back or shoulder pain? A regular Back Massages can help with sore shoulders, back ache or tension headaches, which can all be the result of muscle tension in the neck, shoulders and back and sometimes due to bad posture.

Back massage today is one of the best, most common types of massage treatment in the North East at Naturally Heaven Therapy top treatment rooms in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyneside

A good back massage can help relieve lower back pain and sciatica. After a strenuous workout or sitting at a desk all day, your back muscles are likely to be tense from overuse or repetitive use. When a massage therapist works those muscles, some of the tension is released.
Repetitive motion or immobility may also cause back and shoulder pain. An upper back treatment may help relieve the tension in that area and reduce the pain from migraines and leave you feeling relaxed.

Can Massage Help Your Lower Back Pain Problem?

For most of us, the answer is probably ‘yes’, since massage is non-invasive and considered very low risk for most people. In addition to physical benefits, certain types of massage have been shown to help psychologically via relaxation and increased production of ‘feel good’ chemicals that the body naturally produces (endorphins) – helpful for people with both acute back problems and chronic back pain. This newsletter describes why massage may be right for you.

Massage Therapy May Help Numerous Back Problems

There are numerous back problems that may benefit from massage therapy, including:

Muscle strain
Most episodes of acute lower back pain are caused by muscle strain, such as from lifting a heavy object, a sudden movement or a fall. The low back pain can be very severe and last for several hours, several days or even a few weeks. When back muscles are strained or torn, the area around the muscles can become inflamed. With inflammation, the muscles in the back can spasm and cause both severe lower back pain and difficulty moving. The large upper back muscles are also prone to irritation, either due to de-conditioning (lack of strength) or overuse injuries (such as repetitive motions). Upper back pain may also be due to a specific event, such as a muscle strain, sports injury, or auto accident. Massage can help work out the spasm/irritation and improve range of motion. Read more in Back muscles and low back pain and Causes of upper back pain.
Osteoarthritis of the spine
Spinal arthritis is the breakdown of the cartilage between the aligning facet joints in the back portion of the spine. The facet joints become inflamed and progressive joint degeneration creates more frictional pain as bone rubs on bone. Therapeutic massage can help reduce osteoarthritis pain by improving circulation and reducing stress and muscle tension. However, it is important to find a professional who is specifically trained in treating people with arthritis.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia can affect people differently, but is usually characterised by pain, stiffness, fatigue and/or non-restorative sleep. The patient typically feels both widespread pain and pain in specific “tender points” as evidenced by physical examination. Massage can target both the tender points and the more broadly distributed pain and stiffness.
Sciatica
When it comes to sciatica, massage can help in two ways. Massage’s main benefit is soothing tense muscles. When your muscles are tense, they can put more pressure on your nerves, including your sciatic nerve. Massaging these tense muscles may help to reduce pressure on your sciatic nerve.

Reduction of scar tissue.

Relaxing Back Massage Newcastle

A relaxing back massage stimulates the production of endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, chemicals that make the body feel good, according to Beth Mueller, RMT, in her article “Massage Therapy for Lower Back Pain” on the Spine Health website. This helps manage pain and may allow you to reduce the amount of painkillers you take. A back massage can help decrease pain in the lower back, back massage may also help prevent anxiety and depression.

Back Massage therapy can provide substantial healing and pain relief for people, who suffer from low back pain caused by muscle tension and strain, if the correct muscles are targeted.
