Story of Healing: Back Pain

Source: Health Action Magazine Spring 2008

I had nagging back pain for the three years and only stubbornness kept me moving. My husband said I looked like an old woman and that I should really get my back checked. I decided to try massage therapy. Mark Bentz, a registered massage therapist, showed me that my back pain was caused by tight hip flexors. One treatment and two days of stretching and I was feeling myself again. I'm really happy to know how to stretch to prevent my low back pain from coming back.
