Here’s a breakdown of couple common reasons for lower back pain:
1. Muscle Strain or Sprain
Cause: Overuse, lifting improperly, or sudden movements can cause microtears in muscles or ligaments.
Risk Factor: Common in athletes, gym-goers, and people with physically demanding jobs.
How Sports Massage Helps:
Releases muscle tension and reduces spasms.
Improves blood flow, speeding up the healing process.
Reduces scar tissue formation from repetitive strain or minor injuries.
2. Poor Posture
Cause: Sitting for long periods, hunching over a desk, or improper alignment while exercising.
Risk Factor: Office workers, gamers, students, or athletes with imbalanced training.
How Sports Massage Helps:
Helps realign muscle imbalances by loosening tight areas.
Encourages better posture by relaxing overactive muscles.
Increases body awareness, helping clients correct bad habits.
3. Weak Core Muscles
Cause: Poor conditioning of abdominal and back muscles leads to poor spinal support.
Risk Factor: Sedentary lifestyle or athletes neglecting core training.
How Sports Massage Helps:
Identifies and releases tight compensating muscles (e.g., hip flexors).
Improves range of motion, allowing for more effective core strengthening exercises.
Supports rehabilitation by improving muscle function and elasticity.
There are obviously a lot more reasons to why you might be experiencing back pain. Therefore, always consult your case with a specialist!
