Low back and upper trap trigger point work.  Q-L and upper trap work.

Low back pain is a source of chronic pain for many clients. It can be caused by any number of sources: muscle spasm, injury to soft tissues and/or ligaments, irritated facette joints, herniated/bulging discs, slippage of the vertibrae, ... I find clients benefit from a expert diagnosis (this can mean consulting an orthopedic physician first) to find out if the pain is of a serious nature. I find massage treatments can reduce the pain caused by muscle spasm and mild injury, and help restore greater ranges of movement.

My treatment of 'low back pain' includes: an assessment  - to understand if a referral is necessary - to understand if the pain is muscle and/or joint related. massage techniques - deep tissue work to release old scar tissue - trigger point work to release muscle spasm - joint mobilizations to free up spinal and sacral movement.
