What Causes Back Pain? (And Why Massage Helps)

Back pain often develops from everyday habits such as:

• Sitting for long periods (office work, driving)
• Poor posture or slouching
• Stress that causes muscles to tighten
• Sleeping in awkward positions
• Exercise-related strain
• Weak core or lack of mobility
• Sedentary lifestyle

When muscles become tight or inflamed, they compress nerves, restrict movement, and create painful trigger points.

Massage helps by:

✔ Releasing tight muscles
✔ Breaking down knots
✔ Increasing circulation
✔ Improving mobility
✔ Correcting muscle imbalances
✔ Reducing inflammation
✔ Calming the nervous system
