Low-back discomfort can have many contributing factors. Clinical massage starts with your story and relevant movement checks, then focuses manual therapy on the tissues that seem relevant to your goals.
What to know
We discuss what activities feel limited, check relevant movement, and retest before you leave. Massage is one possible support, not a diagnosis or a replacement for medical care.
Massage therapy is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, treatment, or urgent care. If you have new, severe, worsening, or concerning symptoms, consult an appropriate healthcare professional.
