Over 16 million people in Britain suffer from back pain. Virtually all back pain starts with muscular problems. Stress, over activity, long periods sitting or standing and even poor posture can produce tight muscles in the legs, back, neck* or shoulders. The mind and muscles are connected by the nervous system and stress can harm the back directly. Quite often back or sciatic pain is attributed to a single incident, accident or injury, but usually it is the result of an unhealthy process that has been going on for a long time. In many cases when successful surgery has been carried out pain may still persist. This is because the underlying cause has not been addressed. Deep relaxation, stress management and mobilising massage with stretches will develop spinal flexibility, stimulate circulation and ease muscular stiffness and pain. *Recent research suggests that having regular neck massage can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease. Researchers from Leeds University found signals from the neck play a key role in helping the brain maintain blood pressure.
