Massage for
Back and Neck Pain
Carrying
heavy weights every day, lifting while bending
incorrectly, and carrying weight asymmetrically can all
increase the risk of back, neck and shoulder pain and
joint problems.
If you have pain
in your back, shoulder or neck there are several types of
massage that will help.
The most common type of massage
is Swedish Massage,
otherwise known as massage
therapy. Massage therapists apply an oil or a lotion onto
the skin and then use long smooth strokes to promote pain
relief.
Another
option is deep tissue massage which is an
excellent remedy for chronic tight or painful muscles,
postural problems, and repetitive strain injuries. This
intensive massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and
connective tissues. There may be some discomfort
during the massage and some soreness for a few days after
the massage.
Shiatsu is a form of
Japanese massage where the person remains fully clothed during
the shiatsu treatment. So, it is excellent if someone prefers
to remain clothed (as many people do) during a massage. Finger
pressure is applied to specific areas of the body giving a deep
massage.
Pilates along with
massage might
also help relieve muscle tension and improve strength and
flexibility.
