Back Pain and Musculoskeletal Health
Back pain is one of the most common causes of discomfort and reduced daily function. Prolonged sitting, poor posture, physical strain, and stress can all contribute to musculoskeletal tension and pain.
Therapeutic Massage Therapy, when provided by a registered practitioner, focuses on the assessment and management of soft tissue structures such as muscles and connective tissue. This may support:
• Reduced muscle tension
• Improved circulation to affected areas
• Enhanced mobility and comfort
The AHPCSA encourages individuals experiencing ongoing or severe back pain to seek care from registered healthcare practitioners for safe, ethical, and appropriate management.
