The study relied on performing 10 myofascial massages of the spine within 2 weeks. Results: The statistical analysis of the Wilcoxon’s signed-ranked test showed statistically significant results for tested variables of the Laitinen scale (the intensity of pain before and after the treatment at p = 0.00, the incidence of pain before and after the treatment at p = 0.00, the use of analgesics before and after the treatment at p = 0.00, limitation of physical activity before and after the treatment at p = 0.00). Conclusions: The applied therapy involving a series of myofascial massages supporting the structures of the motor segment, improving the elasticity of the massaged tissues and normalising the muscle tone resulted in reducing pain ailments in the lumbo-sacral section of the spine.
