Can massage help to reduce Back Pain?
Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors such as muscle tension, poor posture, and stress. There are many ways to manage your back pain, massage being one of them. In this blog we will look at how massage can help with back pain and some tips for you to choose your massage wisely. 
 
There are many types of massage techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, etc. The basic principles of massage is its ability to relieve muscle tension. Through targeted techniques such as kneading, stroking and stretching, massage helps to relax tight muscles that may be contributing to your back pain. By releasing tension and promoting proper alignment, massage can provide much-needed relief. 
 
Massage also aids to increase blood circulation, which is vital for healing and pain reduction. Increased blood flow to the affected area brings healing nutrients and oxygen, while removing waste products and toxins. This enhanced circulation helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing, thereby promoting homeostasis or balance in the body. 
 
Additionally, massage has been proven to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Chronic stress can exacerbate back pain, as it contributes to muscle tension and overall physical discomfort. By providing a calming and soothing experience, massage helps to release the happy hormones like dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and reduce stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. This promotes reduction in pain, improves mood, eases stress and anxiety. The overall effect is a decrease in muscular and back pain.  
 
It is recommended to go to a trained masseur, especially if you suffer from back pain due to disc issues, spinal stenosis, arthritis or any other similar disorders affecting your spine. While there are various types of massage techniques, a therapist who specializes in addressing back pain will have the knowledge and expertise necessary to target specific muscles and provide effective relief. 
 
You can also incorporate essential oils into your massage for a to provide additional pain relief and relaxation benefits. These are the oils that I use and recommend. 

HERE is a free guide to "What is the source of your Back Pain". It breaks down the different symptoms of back pain and helps you to find out what may be causing your back pain. 

I have been able to reduce my back pain to zero with the 11 day Jumpstart that is a free program, meant specifically for reducing your inflammation and pain. People have seen some amazing results with this wonderful program.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach and a Certified Posture Expert. I use my proven system to help mums of younger kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage their back, neck, and nerve pains, despite low energy levels and brain fog. I do all this without taking away a big chunk of their time out of their already busy day. This enables them to be more productive and capable professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can focus on their kids instead of always being distracted by pain. 



My passion for helping executive mums stems from my own experiences. I have been in the same boat and understand the frustration and helplessness of being in constant pain or being afraid to engage in activities due to the fear of pain. After two pregnancies in the span of three years and juggling my two kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was constantly in pain. The weight gain from motherhood added extra stress to my already overburdened spine and joints. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss and spinal/nerve pain that I just couldn’t break free from.

On top of the physical pain, I also suffered from adrenal fatigue. I often felt exhausted, waking up groggy even after a full night’s (10 to 12 plus hours!) sleep, and struggled with low energy levels and brain fog. Simple tasks became challenging, and I found myself forgetting things and unable to think clearly. It was incredibly frustrating and made it even harder to balance my professional responsibilities and family life.

My work involved long hours of standing during the day, prolonged hours on the laptop in the evening, and lots of running around and rocking my kids to sleep in between. Despite my knowledge and expertise in pain relief, I still found myself unable to escape the constant daily pain and fatigue.

Sitting at a desk job from 9 to 5, or longer, plus endless meetings that seem to go on forever. The frequent traveling, the uncomfortable hotel pillows that make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep—I’ve experienced it all. I remember not being able to share my discomfort at work because I felt like an imposter, talking about pain relief strategies and focusing on work while I was not able to achieve it myself. I didn’t disclose the extent of my pain and forgetfulness to my colleagues for years. Even though I loved my kids and my job, I couldn’t give 100% to either. The discomfort held me back from reaching my full potential, making me feel guilty as a mum and less productive at work. I felt like I was constantly running on empty, unable to catch a break from the pain and exhaustion.

finally got fed up after years of trying and decided to make a New Year’s resolution to get ‘healthy’ instead of focusing solely on my pain, fatigue, forgetfulness, and weight loss. When I shifted my focus to getting healthier by reducing the inflammation in my body and addressing my adrenal fatigue, the pain started to decrease, my energy levels and focus improved, and the pounds started shedding off too! That, of course, meant a happier spine, nerves, joints, and a happier me! Today, my neck, back, and nerve pain are down to zero, my knee pain has reduced by 75%, my brain fog has reduced drastically and my energy levels are higher than ever. I realized that I had been focusing on the wrong solutions for over a decade!

Now, my mission is to share my knowledge of pain relief and managing adrenal fatigue along with my personal experience with other mums, especially those with younger kids who work in high-stress executive jobs. My goal is to help you find lasting relief, boost your energy, and reclaim your life, just as I did. 

If you can relate to all this, you are not alone. As a mum, I have been there and done that—momma, I got you! I’ve helped hundreds of mums in this situation over the years find their solution to manage spinal and joint pains, low energy levels, and brain fog that hold them back. This enables them to feel confidently in control and empowers them to cultivate that confidence and productivity at work and enjoy being with their kids, to be able to run around with them without the fear of injury or pain.

Are you ready for this journey? Ask me how if you are curious.

Let's DO THIS!
