I have a really bad knot in my lower back that gives me back pain. What type of massage would help this?

I want to pay for Massage Therapy, but I want to know which type of technique would help get this knot out of my lower back and help relieve my lower back pain.

Just talk to a therapist and be very forth-coming!!!!! The more forth-coming you are, the better your healing treatment will end up being that your therapist can provide.

The massage you need could be as simple as a little ‘Mild Traction’, to something as common as a regular ‘Deep Pressure Massage’ or something more intense as a ‘Deep Tissue Treatment’.

It’s always in your best interest to go in & talk with a Massage Therapist, to explain your history to them so they(who have the professional knowledge of the Art of Massage) can properly provide you with the best therapeutic treatment for your situation, because there are many counter questions which will need to be asked for every answer you give, until the reason for your pain is narrowed down.

Your massage treatment will depend on if your pain is from a recent injury; say with in the last month & a half to two month, and if its ‘chronic’ or ‘acute’. We’ll also need to know of past surgeries &/or the possibility of old injury that didn’t heal properly. These surgeries & old injuries would not even have to necessarily be in the area of your pain to have caused your pain over time.
