Lower Back Massage Therapy

Effective relief for lumbar pain and muscular tension

Why Does Lower Back Pain Occur?

Lower back pain (lumbar discomfort) is one of the most common complaints among clients, affecting both physically active individuals and office workers alike. It significantly reduces quality of life and limits movement and motivation.

The most common causes of lumbar pain include:

• Overloading the spine with heavy physical activity

• Sedentary lifestyle and desk jobs

• Pregnancy and postpartum strain

• Osteochondrosis

• Spinal curvature (scoliosis, kyphosis)

• Spinal fractures due to osteoporosis

• Early-stage herniated discs (only under medical supervision)

• Tumors ( massage is contraindicated in such cases)

Before booking a session, it’s important to identify the cause of the pain, especially to rule out conditions where massage may be inappropriate.

When Is Lumbar Massage Recommended?

Massage is extremely effective when back pain is caused by muscle fatigue, lack of movement, postural imbalance, or chronic tension. A qualified massage therapist can tailor a program to help relieve pain and restore mobility.

  Commonly treated conditions with lumbar massage:

• Lumbar muscle tension

• Chronic lower back stiffness

• Mild disc degeneration

• Early-stage lumbar hernia (non-surgical)

• Poor circulation or lymph stagnation in the lumbar area

  
  

At SymmetryHL, we take a personalized approach: your symptoms and medical history guide the type and intensity of massage used during each session.

How Does the Massage Help?

A well-executed lower back massage provides the following benefits:

• Reduces pain and tension in the lumbar muscles

• Improves flexibility and range of motion

• Boosts blood and lymph circulation

• Enhances spinal support by strengthening the surrounding muscles

• Promotes overall relaxation and stress relief

Depending on the cause, we may incorporate techniques like Swedish massage, deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, or lymphatic drainage in your personalized treatment plan.

Massage and Osteochondrosis

If you're suffering from lumbar osteochondrosis, professional massage can become a crucial element of your recovery program.

It helps:

• Decompress the spine

• Improve disc nutrition via better circulation

• Reduce muscle spasms and nerve root irritation

Massage is most effective when combined with gentle stretching, physical therapy, or swimming, all of which can be recommended as part of a full-body rehabilitation approach.

How Often Should You Book?

“Consistency is key to results.”

We usually recommend a course of 6 to 10 sessions, depending on the severity of the issue. Many clients feel a noticeable improvement after just 2–3 visits.

Each session lasts approximately 30–45 minutes and focuses on the lumbar and sacral zones, with gentle and progressive techniques applied to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness.
