Is massage an effective treatment for chronic low back pain?

A Cochrane review found that massage therapy may provide short-term relief for people with chronic low back pain by reducing pain and improving function.

However, the evidence for long-term benefits remains unclear.

Massage can be a helpful part of a comprehensive treatment plan, especially when combined with exercise and other evidence-based therapies.

And, as a massage therapist, you must protect yourself; only the best massage therapist insurance coverage will do!

The American Massage Council offers the most affordable and reliable professional liability insurance for massage therapy coverage and more.
