A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that patients with low back pain who got a one-hour massage once a week for 10 weeks had significant improvement for people with persistent pain who hadn't had their pain adequately addressed by other means. While the benefits of massage for this problem appeared to diminish over time, patients still reaped the benefits even after 6 months.
Why is this news important? Because if people with low back pain can feel better quicker, they might be able to resume regular activities sooner.
