Anything can be a cause for back pain – poor posture, stress and sedentary lifestyles have all contributed to this debilitating condition. If you sit for hours at the computer without shifting yourself, standing up or better yet, going outside for a breath of fresh air, it can really affect your health. Back pain may present as a full, aching pain or a sharp one, but it may turn chronic unless you do something about it. This is where Ayurvedic massage for back pain becomes a lifesaver. This is a holistic healing method in Ayurveda, where herbal oils and special methods are used to help calm the nerves, relax the muscles and re-establish the natural balance of the body. Ayursana provides gentle and effective treatments to provide relief for your back pain. If you are looking for permanent relief from the pain, you have indeed come to the right place
Why Back Pain Often Returns Even After Temporary Relief
Back pain treatments will be successful only when the treatments target the root cause of the problems. You are not looking for symptomatic relief or just relief from inflammation or pain. If the underlying imbalances are not corrected, the back pain is likely to come back after a while. According to Ayurveda, chronic back pain is caused due to an imbalance of the Vata Dosha, which regulates motions and the nervous system. Vata could be triggered by any factor that causes spinal tissue to be dry and stiff – cold weather, lack of proper sleep or extreme stress. Unless the source problem is identified and rectified, back pain relief will only be a temporary thing.
How Ayurvedic Massage Works Differently for Back Pain
An Ayurvedic massage for back pain is not just a regular relaxation massage like the other standard massages, but rather a therapeutic deep tissue massage procedure. Here’s how this is done at Ayursana:
- Deep Tissue Penetration: Our therapists use oils and herbs that are aligned with your body constitution. These go deep into your muscles and ligaments.
- Lubrication of Joints: The warm oils lubricate the intervertebral discs, so there will be no more friction. The degenerative changes can be reduced with a good therapeutic massage.
- Toxin Removal: Through careful and calculated massage strokes, the therapist will direct the Ama (toxins) and metabolic waste in the muscles to the circulatory system to eliminate it.
- Calming the Nervous System: These treatments can decrease the hypersensitivity of the nerves causing chronic radiating pain, and calm the Vata dosha.
Types of Ayurvedic Massage Commonly Used for Back Pain
Ayurvedic massage for back pain is planned according to the severity and nature of the back pain:
- Abhyanga: Full-body massage with warm herbal oils. This will boost blood circulation.
- Kati Vasti: Used for treating lower back pain. A herbal dough is used to form a “dam” which is placed over the sore area and filled with warm medicated oil. This can provide relief for herniated discs and sciatica.
- Pizhichil: Warm oil massage and heat treatment done rhythmically.
- Elakizhi (Bolus massage): Medicinal leaves and herbs are placed inside heated cloth bags and then placed on the affected area. The “kizhi” can help decrease inflammation and muscle spasms.
Benefits of Ayurvedic Massage for Back Pain Beyond Pain Relief
The benefits of Ayurvedic back pain massage treatment can help treat your back pain. But along with it, you have other benefits too, like:
- Greater Flexibility: Your body becomes flexible, less rigidity is felt.
- Reduction of Stress: The massage reduces the amounts of cortisol and reduces psychological stress caused by physical tension in the lower back.
- Improved Sleep Quality: Once the nervous system is calm, you sleep better at night.
- Improved Posture Awareness: With the release of muscle tension, the therapists will guide you to a better posture while working at the desk
What Happens During an Ayurvedic Massage Session?
Our massage session is as follows:
- Consultation to determine your pain spots and then decides what type of herbal oil (Dhanwantharam or Mahanarayana oil) would be most effective.
- The Treatment begins with a rhythmic warm oil application.
- The therapist will pay special attention to the Marma points (vital energy points) along the spine to unblock energy.
- Post-Massage steam bath or a wrap of warm towels
Why Professional Ayurvedic Guidance Matters
Ayurvedic massage for back pain must be practiced by licensed therapists. Applying excessive pressure on a swollen nerve or using the wrong kind of oil are likely to make it worse. So it is not a DIY job!
Only a professional therapist will know what kind of oils and herbs are used to treat your inflammation and pain. The therapists apply the precise amount of pressure during massage, especially in the sensitive parts of the spine. Once the massage is completed, the therapists will also advise you on dietary and lifestyle advice so you can maintain the Vata balance
