Any sports therapy can benefit people affected by lower back pain by treating the musculoskeletal structure involved in hip and lower back biomechanics.
Sports therapy, such as sports massage, can treat muscle stiffness and joint restriction, which are generally the most common causes of lower back pain.
The best sports massage for lower back pain should target specific muscles causing the patient’s joint restriction and/or muscle spasm.
Even if the main cause of the patient’s lower back pain is a bulging disc, a targeted sports massage can have a positive effect on reducing disc and nerve compression.
If sports massage is properly performed based on the patient’s medical condition, it can have many benefits for lower back pain, such as:
The best sports massage for lower back pain treatment should target the muscles and joints of the lower back and hip that can cause back pain, muscle spasms, and mobility restriction.
The most important muscles to treat to cure lower back pain are:
Even if the pain is localised on the lower back, it is very important to treat the hip’s muscles too, as they are involved in the biomechanics of the sacrum-iliac joint and lower spine.
The most important hip muscles to treat are:
By targeting these two groups of muscles, we will improve hip mobility and lower back flexibility.
By reducing the muscle tension in the lower back, we are going to reduce lumbar spine compression and/or restriction.
By treating the hip muscles, we will eventually reduce nerve compression that could cause sciatic pain or hip pain ( Deep Gluteal Syndrome ).
