MASSAGE AS PREVENTION OF BACK PAIN
Most people are more or less familiar with the problem of recurrent acute back pain. In most cases, they are usually attributed to the stress of the previous day, but more often it is complacency and a way to forget about the problem rather than solve it. Of course, warming ointments relieve discomfort quickly enough, but their abuse leads to the fact that over time a person develops quite serious problems of the musculoskeletal system, such as osteochondrosis, radiculitis and others. Unfortunately, you can no longer fight them with ointments.
The modern pace of life has made people neglect preventive medicine. Most people today prefer to "solve problems as they arise" without considering possible ways to prevent them. Unfortunately, one of these less popular treatments is back massage.
Stimulation of the back muscles, like any manual procedure, allows you to achieve not narrowly focused, but complex, combined results:
1. Firms muscle mass, thereby increasing endurance and relieving fatigue.
2. It has a slight posture-correcting effect.
3. Relieves periodic pain.
4. Gives a feeling of lightness.
You should not assume that massage treatments have any miraculous effect. Achieving all the above results is possible only in one case - with proper contact with a professional masseur, and most people forget about punctuality. Unfortunately, in cases where the pain that has been present for a long time has turned into an inflammatory process, back massage is no longer possible.
Initially, in such a situation, you will have to undergo long-term pharmacological and physiotherapeutic treatment, and only then use the help of manual techniques. Unfortunately, but for the purpose of maintaining, not preventing the disease.
Spine diseases are becoming "younger" every year, so it is worth remembering not to put off until tomorrow what can be done today.
