When we have a client with the following condition:
lumbago
Massages
Massage is useful for muscular causes and for the tensions that develop due to other causes. • Refer the client to an appropriate professional to address spinal problems (Osteopath, Chiropractor or Physio Practitioner).
Signs and symptoms for
lumbago
Pain across the lower part of the back that sometimes radiates into the buttocks, the back of the thigh or to the groin. The pain is usually worse on movement
Limitation in movement of the spine – especially bending forward and leaning back
Tense spasm of the muscles surrounding the spine and causing a stiff back
With severe pain and spasm, the back may tilt to one side causing a change in posture or a limp
Description
Pain in the lower back (lumbago) is particularly common, although it can be felt anywhere along the spine – from the neck down to the hips.
In most cases the pain isn’t caused by anything serious and will usually get better over time.
