First Diagnose Cause: You should exercise care in manipulation of an area of pain until you know the cause of the pain. See a physician before you have any massage.

May need: I would start with a simple Swedish massage. Deep tissue may cause too much pain. You may need trigger point release also. Make sure u hydrate with water after a massage because Lactic Acid can build up and cause headaches and other issues. Also ice your back after the massage.
