Our back carries most of our body weight and physical stress and it deliberately causes strain on the back muscles and ligaments that support our spine. Let’s discuss 5 massage techniques to ease back pain.
Effleurage
Long, sweeping strokes from the top to the bottom of the muscle
Petrissage
It involves rolling and kneading motion on the muscle.
Tapotement
This technique involves light and rhythmic tapping or drumming.
Friction
The massage therapist may apply deep pressure to the affected muscle to release tension.
