EXCERPTS:

"Our modern lifestyle is frequently the culprit in back pain. Long hours of sitting at work, home, or in cars can lead to an imbalance between weak muscles and those that are chronically contracted. On top of that, tension and fatigue in back muscles are often aggravated by the stress of a busy, demanding life. Tight, weak or tired back muscles are vulnerable to injury anytime you overdo it, for example in the yard or at the gym."

"Therapeutic massage is a natural, noninvasive treatment that is effective because it can address multiple factors in your pain. It also powerfully complements work with other health professionals to increase flexibility, correct alignment, and improve the function and strength of your back."
