Massage?: While massage is a good choice this can improve with or without treatment the passage if time alone is as egfective as many therapies for acute back strAins your transverse proc frx will heal on its own hope this helps do do as much as pain allows within reason early mobilization is beneficial

Yes: you need to see either a spine doctor ,that will recommend a specific exercise and therapy. or you can go to physical therapy specialist,and they can recommend a special stretching,and strengthening exercise,and therapy. message will be included in your therapy,but be careful if you go directly to a message parlor they might hurt you.
