With 15-20% of Americans today being troubled by neck and back pain or other related areas massage therapy is a safe and effective way to eliminate the pain. There are more people reporting neck and back pain more than ever. With the constant pain is disturbs daily lives. An easy, and effective solution is massage therapy.

There are a few different theories that suggest what the cause of the pain may be. To start, many believe that most people's work style is what causes the neck pain. Many sit in a chair, hunched over a keyboard, only moving around once in a great while. Those who are on their feet most of the day or working at counter tops have their necks bent. There are many jobs that also put strain on our back and necks. Another suggestion that may cause neck and back pain is emotional stress. When we are stressed the muscles in our neck and back get tense causing tightness and pain.

Whether the pain is short term or chronic, the benefits of massage therapy are outstanding and effective. Many healthcare providers recommend massage therapy as a way to solve neck and back pain for a few reasons. To name a few, 1) neck and back pain when treated by massage therapy have a longer lasting pain management; 2) it is a natural way of healing pain rather than taking medications that may have horrible side effects; 3)massage therapy gets to the cause of the pain rather than masking the pain like medication does.

All massage therapists are trained to massage specific muscle groups that carry most of our stress and help relieve pain. Therapists are taught to feel knots and tightness and work them out.
