A lot of clients will ask for extra lower back work or for the massage to be just on their back, but there is a lot more involved than just a good back massage.
There are numerous muscles that attach to the pelvis and thus effect the lower back. A good lower back massage should address most of the major structures involved, including the hip flexors, hamstrings, adductors, the gluteals, and the quadratus muscles.
If any of these muscles are tight they can affect pelvic alignment and cause other muscles to be overactive in contracted and stretched tension. Any good massage would cover these muscles. I will go over technique and application of each area this blog progresses.
