Book Your Back Pain MassageWhat 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
