Lower Back pain is not just one of the most common types of pain, but it can also occur due to a wide array of causes such as poor posture, wear and tear, misalignment or even injuries.

Because this condition is very common, almost every person will suffer from it at one point of their life, especially if they have a lifestyle that would make them prone to it, such as sitting at their desk for hours, lack of physical exercise or, on the contrary, strenuous physical activity that may lead to injuries.

Fortunately, for this condition, there’s a treatment called remedial massage on the Gold Coast, which not only helps people with acute pain, but also helps those who experience chronic pain.

What Gold Coast remedial massage does is to speed up the healing process of your body, by stimulating blood flow and even calming the nervous system, but also toning and relaxing the muscles. The latter is extremely important, especially for those who suffer from lower back pain due to sitting at work for hours in the same position or experiencing a great deal of stress.

Fortunately, this massage therapy is the first therapy they should try in this case as it will have a great impact in a short time.

Lower back pain can be caused by herniated disk, spinal disk degeneration, spondylitis, and even nerve irritation. However, there are some rare causes that would lead to lower back pain such as fibromyalgia, tumors, infections, or inflammations of the nerves. Back pain can be extremely distressing for people as it may feel different from other types of pain.

For example, the pain may radiate down the front, side, or back of your leg; it may also become worse if you start doing strenuous physical activity, but the same effect occurs if the person stays for a long time in the same position.

Gold Coast Remedial massage will help patients get rid of their pain in a very short time; usually, they feel some kind of relief even after one session, so this is a great way to treat pain that seems unbearable. By using a wide array of techniques, the therapist will use oil to make sure that deep tissue is penetrated and try to ease the pain in the affected area.

Some of the techniques used in Gold Coast remedial massage are kneading, stroking, or percussive movements, but some therapists might also use joint stretching.

This type of massage therapy will also clear your body of toxins and will relax you; however, if you are suffering from a medical condition, it is best to diagnose it to a specialist before going to a Gold Coast remedial massage therapist, so that they plan your treatment better.
