- Sitting for long hours shortens the hips and increases pressure on the low back.
- Many desk workers near Briargate and North Academy Blvd unknowingly create sciatica symptoms from poor posture and tight hip flexors.
- Therapeutic Ashiatsu massage and cupping therapy can help restore mobility and reduce chronic pain.
- People who commit to an every 2-week massage routine often see the best long-term progress.
Lets face it, if you spend most of your day sitting at a desk, in meetings, commuting across town in the car, or working from home all day long, there is a good chance you have noticed more stiffness, low back pain, or even pain traveling into the hips, and legs.
Many busy parents, engineers, teachers, and desk workers of all types across Colorado Springs, Black Forest, and all along Academy tell us the same thing: “I feel fine when I wake up, but by the end of the day my back is tight and aching.”
The reason is simple. Sitting all day sitting places your body in a shortened position, it is more difficult for fluid promotion, joints lock up, and nothing is moving as easily as it could be. Your hip flexors tighten, your glutes weaken, and your low back begins doing extra work to compensate.
Over time, that can lead to:
- low back pain
- tight hips
- sciatica symptoms
- neck and shoulder tension
- tension headaches
When your hips lose mobility and strength, your low back often takes the stress. That is why so many people who sit all day also complain of pain near the sacrum, SI joints, glutes, and lower back.
Stretching can help temporarily, but many people find that stretching alone is not enough because the deeper layers of tension remain bound.
At Inspire Movements Massage Therapy near Briargate Parkway and Kelly Johnson Blvd, we use therapeutic ashiatsu massage and cupping therapy to help address:
- the lengthening of tight hip flexors
- reduce tension in the low back and glutes
- improve mobility
- decrease pressure on the sciatic nerve
- help you move more comfortably again
Cupping therapy makes your session more thorough by bringing deeper tension closer to the surface levels. Ashiatsu allows broader, more consistent pressure to be applied without that pokey sensation or feeling too aggressive with our approach to treating your pain. By combining these two techniques together, we are able to get more done in the same amount of time every session.
Most people notice the biggest changes when they book their massages consistently every 2-weeks instead of waiting until the pain becomes severe to start getting on track. We want to keep forward momentum building, not playing catch up every few months.
If you work near North Academy Blvd, Research Parkway, Briargate Parkway, or I-25 and are tired of feeling stiff after sitting all day, now is the time to address the root cause of your problems.
