Back Massage: Relieve Pain Faster

My poor back, I can't bend over! I can't pick that up

, my back hurts too bad. Both my husband and I have felt this sort of angst, as have many of our relatives. Want to know a secret? Back massage!! Here in the United States we are fortunate to have many spas where we can go for one for 30 plus minutes to relax and relieve ourselves of pain and make the soul and mind feel great!

Back pain, as well as many other pains and have been greatly reduced by massages. Massage therapists have practiced this art throughout the world. Chinese records dating back 5,000 years show that it has been in practice. Many ancients such as Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied many forms of massage, and even Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Back massage works great! There are a variety of methods, over 250 to be precise, to cure different ailments.

Upon receiving a massage, the superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue will be manipulated in order to enhance blood flow, function it will promote relaxation and well-being. This became popular in the US in the 1800's and grew in popularity until the 1940's. The development of modern medicine discounted the benefits of therapeutic massage. It made a re-appearance in the 1960's and 1970's when nurses began to use it to alleviate back pain with a back massage, in patients. In the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta massage was deemed a core medical service. Does this sound good to you?

In my many life experiences, my first 'massage' was not all it could have been. Having had more massages than my first one, I realize, it actually is great. I was the subject of a lady who was learning. I worked at a health club and she needed volunteers. I, as the low person on the totem pole, was elected to be 'it'. I had no idea what a therapeutic massage involved. Well, this was no relaxing back massage. I had to put up with the noise of two rowdy little boys while their mother practiced on me! I opted for the clothes-on option! Yes, there is a no-clothes option which involves the subject being nude, but covered by towels and blankets. This was my first massage.

You may try a wide variety of massage, acupressure, acupuncture, but be sure, after a back massage, you will find yourself feeling tremendous. There is no way to blind-test massage therapy, as the person being tested is going to be touched, and we cannot deny that the sense of touch is very therapeutic by itself. Be sure to try it out at your favorite spa, and find what type of back massage works best for you.
