Relieve Back Tension with Therapeutic Back Massage


Does your back feel stiff and sore from long hours sitting at a desk? Therapeutic back massage brings quick relief to strained back muscles. Targeting the muscles and pressure points along the back releases knots, reduces pain, and improves mobility. Read on to learn how back massage eases tension.


What is Back Massage?


Back massage focuses solely on the back muscles rather than a full body massage. The therapist uses various techniques to address problems along the entire backside, from the neck to the lower back.


Strokes may include Swedish effleurage, petrissage kneading, friction, and tapotement percussion. More profound tissue techniques like cross-fibre friction, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release can also be incorporated. Oil enables long, smooth strokes over the skin.


Benefits of Back Massage:


  • Releases muscle knots and reduces back pain
  • Improves mobility and flexibility of the spine
  • Stretches tight back muscles, causing poor posture
  • Enhances circulation and oxygen flow to back tissues
  • Stimulates lymphatic drainage in the back to remove toxins
  • Induces relaxation of the nervous system
  • Provides relief from upper back headaches and neck pain
  • Boosts energy levels by reducing fatigue

Regular back massage keeps your back muscles supple for pain-free movement. It also feels wonderfully relaxing as you release accumulated tension—target back pressure at its source with therapeutic massage.
