THE MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM MY PATIENTS
When is back pain serious ?
- Short-term back pain is common and often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or lifting heavy objects, movement and rest should do the job.
- Frequent or prolonged back pain not disappearing after rest and movement, might be time to get it checked.
- when you are not able to move or do things like a normal human being.
What does back pain mean ?
- It can be many factors, however it does not mean that the problem is only coming from your back. It’s maybe a signal from the body to say that some area in your body is not functioning properly and it’s impacting your lower back, like your pelvis or legs or shoulder (believe it or not).
- Stressful period, too much sitting.
Why back pain occurs ?
- It can be that you did a movement that is not in your range of comfort and that created pain.
- Some muscles in your lower back, pelvis and legs have cumulated too much tension and need release. (from too much or too less activity)
- it comes and goes without specific pattern … it could be a dysfonctional / poor posture
Back pain radiats to leg.
- My job is not to be alarming, but once you get to that point, usually the whole posterior chain has to be checked, from the lower back to the pelvis, down to your leg. It means it is time to either come and see me or see someone you can trust to check your body and release the tension and improve mobility leg/pelvis.

MASSAGE TECHNIQUES
PERSONALIZED MASSAGE ROTTERDAM
These four techniques I have been using either combined or separated have been really effective deep tissue, trigger points, muscle energy and myofascial release. From what I’ve studied these were to my view the most effective techniques to release patient with pain and stress.
Lack of mobility in your neck due to posture or too much stress, stiff hips, lower back pain, lack of shoulder mobility and more are the problem I often treat my patients with.
I do also focus on improving the whole biomechanic of the pelvis which being the center of gravity is crucial for walking and moving in general.

MUSCLE ENERGY
involve the use of active movement, combined with manual therapy to improve joint mobility, reduce pain, and restore normal muscle function.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Massage that works on a broad group of muscles in order to rebalance the body, bring back mobility and increase blood flow.

DEEP TISSUE
Massage that target a deeper layer of muscles, connective tissue. Reduces stress and reduce chronic patterns of tension.

TRIGGER POINTS
Massage, looking for small muscle knots causing satellite pain and also get the muscle to finally relax, which is all we want right :).
