Therapeutic Sports Massage Techniques for the Neck and Spine

The back is an intricate structure of bones, muscles, and other tissues extending from your neck to your pelvis. Back injuries can result from sports injuries, work around the house or in the garden, or a sudden jolt such as a car accident. These injuries can cause pain and limit your movement.

Neck pain often occurs with back pain, and the symptoms are similar. Symptoms of neck pain may include spasm, stiffness, muscle discomfort, limitation of movement and headaches. Neck and back pain can occur suddenly (acute) or be constant (chronic); an acute injury can lead to chronic pain and loss of range of motion, if left untreated.

Sports Massage is a non-invasive alternative to prescription medication commonly used for treating neck and back pain. A combination of sports massage techniques, performed by an experienced therapist, will provide pain relief and help recovery.
