Lower backpain can be a chronic and sometimes disabling conditon and a great deal of the population
have some form of back pain that requires attention and treatment.
Traditional Thai Massage is one of the therapies that patients turn to for help in
alleviating this ailment.

joint mobilizaion treatment therapy.
Below is an very good informative video .
The research is outlined in the article entitled:
“Effects of traditional Thai massage versus joint mobilization on substance P and pain perception
in patients with non-specific low back pain”
concluding that:
“Both TTM and joint mobilization can relieve pain in patients
with non-specific low back pain.
However,TTM yields slightly more beneficial effects than joint mobilization.”
