Dealing with back pain
Our backs are like a wall; if it crumbles, we are left with no foundation on which to stand. Back pain is the most common complaint. What can you do to make it hurt less, and how can our massage therapy service help? London is a great city to live in, but the pace at which people work and live can often be erratic and fast. This can result in neglecting the signs your body is giving you telling you that something needs to change.
Ignoring the broken office chair, you hunch over the desk, not even realizing that the twinge in your lower back is because there is no sufficient support. You stand on a shop floor all day, your shoulders are stiff, and you wonder why you wake up with a tension headache in the morning.
Possible cause of back pain
Poor posture—all of the above is simply because you don’t sit right and stand straight… —could be the reason for the lower back pain that you are experiencing. The function of the back is to give support to the rest of the body; it is the trunk. In the same way, a tree has roots in order for it to stay strong and alive; the back has nerves that transcend to other parts of the body.
Weakened muscles become tight, and repetitive movements without change cause problems that affect the arms, neck, and hands. These effects can not only be painful but can also inhibit you from being as fit and flexible as you would like to be. A sudden movement can cause so much muscular and joint pain, too—just a sudden movement!
Short-term back pain can be relieved using a number of massage treatments, but what about long-term back pain issues? Some problems are medically related and present from birth or are part of the ageing process. Arthritis is one of the most common of these issues and can actually occur at any age. It is excruciating, and its effects can be felt in the legs, buttocks, arms, and shoulder area.
Contact your doctor
Taking care of your body in everyday life with a healthy diet and exercising regularly can undoubtedly hold off and, in many cases, stop the onset of this painful condition. If you are suffering now and need pain relief, how can you help yourself? Seeing a doctor would be the first point of call to receive a correct diagnosis. You may take conventional medicine, but you need a life change, which is called activity!
Exercise is a great way to ease pain, relieve discomfort, and mobilize joints to prevent stiffness and inflammation, which can affect how you feel each day. You must speak to an expert to find out which exercise practice is safest. Regular massage therapy is undoubtedly an essential treatment you can add to your new way of living…pain-free living!
