Causes of Mid-Back Curvature & Pain

When back muscles become extremely tight, they can pull the spine out of its natural alignment — causing stiffness, soreness, or even postural changes.
Before any spinal adjustment can be effective, it’s essential to first release deep muscle tension and restore flexibility to the surrounding tissues.

 
Recommended Massage Steps


Step 1 – Deep Muscle Release Therapy
Focused work on the back, neck, and shoulder areas to relieve chronic tension and knots.

Techniques: Deep Tissue Massage, Back Walking (Ashiatsu)
Goal: Loosen tight fascia, restore muscle elasticity, and improve circulation.


Step 2 – Heat Therapy & Hot Stone Massage
Warm stones are placed along the spine and back muscles to soften tissue and promote deep relaxation.

Effect: Enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and prepares muscles for alignment work.


Step 3 – Postural Balance & Stretching
Gentle assisted stretches to realign the body’s natural curvature and release remaining tightness.

Benefit: Helps prevent future tension and supports long-term spinal health.


Step 4 – Maintenance Massage (Every 1–2 Weeks)
Regular sessions maintain flexibility and prevent muscle re-tightening, allowing the spine to stay balanced and pain-free.
