One of the more common coincidences in modern medicine: people who sit a lot have low back pain. The number of biomechanical reasons for this are several, but one of the most common is surprisingly simple: there’s a trigger point in your gluteus maximus muscle that is caused by sitting in a typical office chair, and it refers pain directly to the area just above your tailbone. One case study showed a young woman who came in complaining of low back pain after suffering a minor injury; two visits to a neuromuscular therapist who treated her right gluteus maximus later, she was back to work “assuming all duties without pain.” If you want to get lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and more, then call and book neuromuscular massage today!
