Back pain is a common ailment that affects millions of people worldwide. It can be caused by various factors such as muscle strain, injury, or poor posture. While there are various treatments available for back pain relief, massage therapy has become increasingly popular due to its effectiveness in alleviating pain and promoting overall well-being. In this post, we will explore the science behind how massage therapy helps back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Releases Endorphins<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Massage therapy has been shown to release endorphins, which are the body\u2019s natural painkillers. Endorphins interact with the receptors in the brain that reduce the perception of pain. This can help to alleviate back pain and promote relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Reduces Inflammation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Inflammation is a common cause of back pain, and massage therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation. A study conducted in 2011 found that massage therapy decreased inflammation and pain in patients with chronic low back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Increases Blood Flow and Oxygen<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Massage therapy increases blood flow and oxygen to the affected area, which can help to promote healing and reduce pain. It can also help to release tension in the muscles, which can alleviate pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Improves Range of Motion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Back pain can often limit an individual\u2019s range of motion. Massage therapy can help to improve flexibility and range of motion by releasing tension and promoting relaxation in the muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Promotes Relaxation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Stress and tension can exacerbate back pain. Massage therapy promotes relaxation by reducing stress and tension, which can help to alleviate back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Improves Sleep Quality<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Back pain can often interfere with sleep quality. Massage therapy has been shown to improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing stress, which can help to alleviate back pain and improve overall well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
