.
.
A: There are several styles of massage for low back pain, or pain in the lumbar.
I offer several styles of massage for back pain - including:
.
1. Orthopedic massage - as used in physical therapy offices for workplace injuries of the back, sports injuries of the back, etc. .
2. Chiropractic massage - as used in chiropractic offices to relax muscle and connective tissues before a chiropractor makes an adjustment. .
3. Structural Integration - more commonly known as Rolfing and Hellerwork - to release fascia in the back and abdominal area's that can be applying
continual stress to vertebrae of the back. .
4. Shiatsu Accupressure - deep thumb pressures and thumb petrisagge along the erector muscle that runs along each side of the spine, and along
the sacrum and illiac crest. .
5. Lomi lomi Hot stones - hot stones are used to massage low back muscles - muscles soften quickly due to combination of heat plus movement
of the stones can give light to deep pressure.
