Chicago Daily Herald: Massage Therapy for Back Pain

Massage therapy is increasingly recognized for the numerous health benefits it offers its clients. Now, according to the Chicago Daily Herald, massage is considered a legitimate therapy for back pain. By relaxing painful muscles, tendons, and joints, massage can actually change the way the brain processes pain signals. And as medical doctors are often over-booked and over-priced, massage therapy has become an inexpensive alternative to medical care.

The Soma Institute in Chicago is recognized as a leader in clinical massage therapy education. Soma provides training and industry support to start a career in massage therapy. Our students learn natural methods to treat painful ailments, overworked muscles, injuries, and promote overall health.
