SARASOTA, Fla. - Sept. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Types of back pain

Millions suffer from chronic back pain unremittingly, but few of those are due to actual diseases or disorders. Most people have developed this malady from non-organic causes, such as heavy lifting, car accidents, bending over the desk top for long hours, or even as simple as sleeping in ungainly positions. The most common type of back pain is Axial pain, this is a dull ache in the lower back caused from straining the muscles too much. Unlike many other forms of back pain, Axial pain doesn't travel to other parts of the body creating a more serious issue. Although there are multiple forms of back pain, there are also various methods of treatment ranging from acupuncture to Massage Therapy.

Massage Therapy

Massage has been practiced for thousands of years, and has been known to alleviate the discomfort that back pain produces. Now if you are looking for a relief from the constant ache, there are over 80 styles to choose from, all including a variety of different ways to manipulate the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Aside from the obvious benefits to looking into Massage Therapy, there are other more obscure reasons too, such as reducing stress and muscle tension the can tighten up the body and spawn discomfort. There is an array of massage types including:

Swedish Massage: This is the most common and well know type, it includes light rhythmic taps and long pressure strokes used in a way that reduces tension of the muscles.

Deep Tissue Massage: This massage is created to target and relax the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, the masseur uses friction strokes across the muscle.

Shiatsu: This is a form of Japanese massage that uses fingers pressure on a sequence. each point is held for up to eight seconds to help improve the energy flow of the body.

Massage Strokes: Each massage has a specific sequence of strokes that is used in the best way to relax a person. Each stroke has a different purpose  and there are a multitude of varying strokes:

"C" Bowing: This is done with very little movement, the thumbs and fingers are wiring in sync to push and pull the tissue under the skin in a "C" motion.

Frictions: This technique is directed at the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle, bone, organ, and blood vessel of the body.

Effleurage: A light gliding over the skiing where the hands never lose contact, and guides the movements towards the heart: this is used normally at the end of the massage to induce relaxing.

Muscle Squeezing: This sounds exactly like the name; its a squeeze of the muscle between the hand and the fingers with the hand pushing slightly in an upward direction.
