Massage and Back Pain.

Hello again.
One of my favourite way of dealing with lower back pain, be it muscular pain or strains and sprains is through massage. A client may choose a localised and limited massage, or a full body massage. The last is my treatment of choice.
As I have been attuned to the Reki energy, I always like to think a client is getting a "double whammy" the massage itself, and a reki treatment at the same time.
It is my personal belief that a full massage is ideal when dealing with back pain. Over a long period of treating and talking to back pain sufferers I have come to the conclusion that a back pain may have many causes.
The obvious strains and excesses of daily life are a primary cause. Bad posture and lack of respect for your body also may lead to back pain. Also a bang on the elbow or the knee even a stubbed toe may lead to back pain.
So a full body massage, a relaxing and invigorating treatment will ease pains and tension throughout the body. As the song goes "The foot bone is connected the ankle bone, and so on" the whole body is linked through bones, muscles, sinews and tendons. By relaxing one part of the body, another part is affected. If the whole body is relaxed, then many and different causes of back pain are relieved.
As well as this relaxation, the Lymph glands are encouraged to work and poisons are drained from your body.
On top of this a massage is fun and enjoyable, although there are rules to any massage technique carried out by professionals. What you do at home is, however, another thing.
As a means of dealing with back pain, massage is great. If however you have a treatment, and the problem comes back, then go for another treatment. If your problems returns again, then what are you doing? There is a phrase in Marketing that applies to life generally and it goes, roughly "If you keep doing what you have always done, then you will keep getting, what you always got"
So if you have bad posture, sit at your workstation incorrectly, keep wearing high heels, this may lead to back pain. Start to help your body out.
