Lower Back Pain & Stiffness & Massage. Help!

[K_M]

I have had lower back pain for about 2 years now. When its not hurting I feel this stiffness which makes it hard to bend over. Im 27 but i feel like an old lady! I do things like lift something up, and i get this huge pain along the lower back. Today i had a new added sensation which was hot tingles all on my lower back and my tummy. Im getting really down about this and want it to go away. Can any one suggest anything and can massage really help? If so which type?

Hi,
Acupuncture is very good for immediate pain release and to relax the muscles. I would avoid massage if it is at a critical stage as it could get worst. Besides consulting your doctor, as a long term strategy I recommend Alexander Technique and exercises for your back and abdomen. Also Reiki is very helpful for stress which normally is related to back pain.

I'd like to suggest Bowen Technique. It's a soft tissue remedial therapy using light rolling moves of thumbs and fingers over muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Bowen sorted my back pain out after just 3 treatments, after I'd been suffering for nearly 20 years and had spent £100s at the chiropractor.

I've had some great results with my clients. Hope this helps.

One can do a surprisingly effective massage on the finger for the whole spine plus a local massage for painful points found there.
Additionally, I can recommend rather "simple" acupuncture in terms of
finding points, to do yourself as the points may be on fingers joints or around the nails.
Just marking the points by a colour pen already may help.
Please PM if interested.
