In the USA, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninds.nih.gov\/Disorders\/Patient-Caregiver-Education\/Fact-Sheets\/Low-Back-Pain-Fact-Sheet\">80% of adults have suffered from back pain<\/a>, which is also the most frequent reason for workplace absence. We spend much of our time at a desk or driving, and a sedentary lifestyle can have a significant impact on the health of your spine. Back pain can also occur when lifting heavy objects or after sudden movements such as twisting or bending. The pain is particularly unpleasant because the pain can radiate into the legs and can be difficult to soothe.<\/p>\n<p>Massage has been <a href=\"https:\/\/annals.org\/aim\/fullarticle\/747008\/comparison-effects-2-types-massage-usual-care-chronic-low-back\">scientifically proven to reduce back pain<\/a>.

This disease is the leading cause of death in Australia, and can cause strokes, heart attacks, and damage to the blood vessels in the feet and legs. Whilst treatment is often pharmacological, massage also has a role to play in improving symptoms and overall health in a non-invasive manner. Regular massage reduces the blood pressure and heart rate to promote cardiac health. Targeted massage of the legs and feet can also aid venous return to reduce painful leg swelling. Reducing leg swelling can make it easier to become more active, which will also aid cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Massage_to_Aid_Sports_Recovery\"><\/span>Massage to Aid Sports Recovery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Whether you are a top-class athlete or simply <a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/blog\/how-massage-therapy-benefits-cyclists\/\">cycle to work every day<\/a>, when injury strikes it can be devastating for both your physical and emotional wellbeing.
