Massage for Chronic Back Pain in Larger Bodies | Montreal Massage Therapy
Living with chronic back pain can make everyday activities—from working at a desk to getting a good night's sleep—more difficult. For people in larger bodies, finding healthcare providers who offer respectful, weight-inclusive care can be an added challenge.
At our All Bodies Montreal, a massage therapy clinic located in the Plateau neighbourhood of Montreal, we provide massage therapy for people in larger bodies, fat people, disabled people and queer and trans communities in a welcoming, affirming environment. Our goal is to help reduce pain, improve comfort, and support your overall well-being without judgment or assumptions about your body.
How Massage Therapy Can Help Chronic Back Pain
Chronic back pain often develops from a combination of muscle tension, stress, repetitive movements, previous injuries, and changes in mobility. Massage therapy may help by:
Reducing muscle tension and stiffness
Improving circulation to affected tissues
Supporting relaxation and nervous system regulation
Increasing comfort and range of motion
Helping you reconnect with your body in a positive way
Every body is different, which is why each treatment is tailored to your needs, comfort level, and goals.
Massage Designed for Larger Bodies
People in larger bodies sometimes avoid massage because they're concerned about comfort, positioning, accessibility, or whether they'll feel judged. We believe everyone deserves access to quality massage therapy.
At All Bodies Montreal, use positioning options, bolsters, pillows, and pressure adjustments to ensure your session is comfortable. Our massage table has a weight limit of 450 pounds, wide width, and we want to ensure you a comfortable, safe massage. Whether lying face down isn't comfortable or you prefer a side-lying position, we'll work with you to create a treatment that feels supportive and accessible.
Inclusive Care Matters
For many fat, queer, and trans clients, feeling safe and respected is just as important as the treatment itself. We strive to create a space where your identity, pronouns, and lived experience are respected, and where your care is centred on your goals—not your body size.
If you're looking for massage therapy in Montreal for chronic back pain and want care that is weight-inclusive, queer-affirming, and client-centred, All Bodies Montreal here to help. Together, we can develop a treatment plan that supports your comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
