If you've ever left a massage therapy session wondering, "Why does my pain actually feel better?"—you're not alone. Many people experience profound pain relief from bodywork but don't fully understand the mechanisms at play. As a massage therapist practicing in Las Vegas for over two decades, I've seen countless clients find relief from chronic pain, injury, and movement dysfunction through therapeutic bodywork.

Understanding Low Back Pain: More Than Meets the Eye

Low back pain is a widespread complaint, affecting up to 80% of people at some point, yet it’s often misdiagnosed or poorly treated. The lumbar spine—five vertebrae (L1-L5) in your lower back—supports much of your body’s weight, making it prone to strain. Pain here can stem from injury, poor posture, or lifestyle factors, but it’s the muscles and fascia that often hold the key to both the problem and the solution. At Beyond Ordinary Results in Las Vegas, we dive deep into these structures to unravel your discomfort.
