Massage for Low Back Pain

Back pain and tightness are some of the most common complaints we see at Sage Bodywork, and for good reason—low back pain can be debilitating, making it hard to sit, stand, or even sleep comfortably.

​

But here’s the thing: not all back pain is created equal, and neither is the way we treat it.

​

If you’re searching for a Seattle massage therapist for back pain, you’ve come to the right place. We take a balanced, whole-body approach to relieving back pain that addresses its root causes, not just its symptoms. By understanding the underlying anatomy and mechanics that cause chronic back tightness and pain, we can create relief that lasts.

Deep Tissue Massage for Low Back Pain? Think Twice!

When people think of massage for low back pain, they often imagine a deep tissue session that digs into sore spots. While this might feel satisfying in the moment, it can destabilize the spine and leave you feeling worse in the long run.

​

Here’s why: the low back is not an isolated structure. It’s part of a complex network of muscles, fascia, and joints that work together to support your body.

​

Often times the real cause of low back pain is a pelvic tilt, that's cause by tightness your core and hip flexors. If we released the back without also addressing the front, it's like slicing the rope in the middle of a game of tug of war, and you'd come crashing down.

​

Lasting relief requires more than just “muscling through” pain. Our techniques focus on restoring balance and stability so your body can heal and thrive.
