Does massage fix back pain?
The story points out that relying on massage to fix the underlying cause of back pain is a mistake. While massage can provide temporary relief by easing muscle tension and improving blood flow, it typically doesn't address the root issue. It's best used as a complementary therapy, not a standalone solution.
