Find Relief from Low Back Pain with Therapeutic Massage
Low back pain can make everyday life more difficult than it needs to be. Whether it's a constant ache, tight muscles, stiffness when you get out of bed, or discomfort after sitting at a desk all day, back pain can affect how you move, work, exercise, and feel.
At Maine Body Alliance in Portland, Maine, I offer personalized therapeutic massage designed to address muscle tension, reduce discomfort, and help you move more comfortably.
Rather than simply working on the area that hurts, I look at how different muscles and parts of your body work together. Your massage is tailored to your needs, your comfort level, and your goals.
Low Back Pain
How Can Massage Help Low Back Pain?
Therapeutic massage works with your muscles and soft tissues to ease tension and improve movement.
Massage may help by:
Releasing tight muscles: Focused massage techniques target tension in the lower back, hips, and surrounding muscles.
Reducing muscle soreness: Massage can help ease discomfort from overworked or tired muscles.
Improving mobility: Working on tight muscles around the hips and lower back may make bending, twisting, and moving feel easier.
Supporting relaxation: Massage helps calm the nervous system and can reduce the physical effects of everyday stress.
Improving body awareness: Understanding where you hold tension can help you make small changes to your daily habits and movement.
Massage isn't a cure for every type of back pain, but it can be a helpful part of a plan to manage muscle-related discomfort and support better movement.
What to Expect During Your Massage
Your session at Maine Body Alliance is never a one-size-fits-all experience.
We'll start by talking about what you're feeling, where you experience discomfort, and what activities or movements seem to make it better or worse.
Depending on your needs, your massage may include focused work on:
Lower back muscles
Glutes and surrounding hip muscles
Hip flexors
Muscles along the spine
Other areas that may be contributing to your discomfort
I use a combination of therapeutic and deep tissue massage techniques, adjusting the pressure and approach to what feels right for your body.
You don't need to know exactly what's causing your pain before coming in. That's part of what we'll work through together.
My goal is to help you leave feeling more comfortable, less restricted, and better able to move through your day.
