Save for later
Professional massages are great but one of the best things you can do is get a foam roller and massage ball (or use a small weight like I demo in this video) and start working on your fascia regularly especially if you’re in pain. Myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue massage creates fast relief but for long term relief you have to find ways to reduce stress and get to the root cause of the tension.
Likely massage won’t fix your back pain/hip pain/leg length difference long term because you need to consider WHY these muscles are devoloping tension/trigger points in the first place. This often stems from posture, gait, work, hobbies, and the lower back and hips are very much connected to your nervous system, emotions, and sense of safety and support.
Still a wonderful technique to manage pain from home while you start to explore the other possible root causes of low back pain in your life. Get curious, learn how to help yourself, and take pain relief and stress management into your own hands. Check out the free guide to create your own self care toolkit via my profile.
