Is back pain normal after using a massage chair?

Back pain after a massage is largely normal and can be caused by various factors. The most common reason is that the body is using different muscles that it normally uses less. However, there may be other reasons why you experience back pain after a massage chair. Some things that can be the cause include muscle infections or ongoing stress. The best way to treat back pain after a massage chair is to identify the cause and work on it.

If you find that your back pain is still troubling or doesn't go away, we strongly recommend that you consult a doctor and possibly consider further work with physical therapy. A physical therapist can help identify and treat any injury-related issues.

Back pain is not uncommon after a massage chair visit – but there are ways to understand the underlying cause and take action. If you have questions or need help managing back pain after a massage chair visit, please consult your doctor or physical therapist for professional support.

A 2018 study by Jagdish Prasad et al. examined the effects of chair massage on the fundamentals of back function and pain in patients with pre-spinal spine disorders. The results of this randomized controlled trial showed that four weeks of 15-minute chair massage therapy resulted in a significant reduction in muscle tension, pain, and improved lower back function.

Another study from 2014 by Shivanand Prakash et al. also examined the effectiveness of therapeutic massage sessions in conjunction with other physiotherapy interventions for chronic low back pain. The results of this randomized controlled trial showed that massage had a significantly greater impact on pressure pain and functional status compared to physiotherapy alone.
