Massage Therapy
According to a study published in The Lancet, low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability. Statista shows that 49% of the American adults are prone to back pain, an extremely worrying figure.
There are several factors such as stress, obesity, poor posture, arthritis, strained muscles, sprained ligaments, and ruptured discs, which cause back pain among adults. Even simple activities where you have to pick a pen because it fell on the floor can cause back pain.
Although there are several medications which make it easier to tolerate back pain, it is not a viable solution, as they come with a myriad of side effects. Instead of adding one problem to another, the best solution is to get massage therapy, as it alleviates the symptoms of back pain.
How does it work?
When the licensed massage therapist massages your body, your breathing and heart rate will come down, which decreases your blood pressure. As a result of this, the amount of stress hormones in your body comes down, which makes your back relax.
At the same time, a good massage will increase the lymph and blood circulation in your body, which allows more nutrients and oxygen to reach your muscles. As the muscles start to relax, spams and contractions, a by-product of back pain, reduces. Massage therapy stops the nerves from getting compressed, which allows them to function properly.
Massage therapy comes with the following benefits:
Enhances sleep
When you suffer from back pain, getting adequate amounts of sleep is difficult, as you may not feel comfortable in every position. As massages help your muscles to relax and release more endorphins, you will feel good, allowing you to get sound sleep every night.
Greater mobility
When there is nerve compression, or your muscles are tight, your mobility takes a hit. For example, if you want to pick up an item from the floor, you have to ask someone else to help you, as you can’t reach it. A licensed massage therapist will make your muscles relax, which increases the range of motion of your back.
Improves posture
A major reason why a large number of people suffer from back pain is due to poor posture. Although you may not feel the effects of your posture immediately, it takes a toll on your body after several years, as it puts a strain on your back.
Massage therapy will help improve your posture, as the licensed massage therapist will align your back. After loosening your back muscles, your body gets the opportunity to go back to its natural position.
Increases strength of the immune system
When you are under large amounts of stress, your immune system gets affected, as it affects your nutrition and sleep. As discussed earlier, massage therapy helps decrease stress, allowing your body to increase its cytotoxic capacity.
