When your spine and lower back hurts what part of your back should you massage or rub?
That is a bigger question than you might think. Erectors (long muscles next to your spine), Latisimus Dorsi (Wide muscle covering your lower back), Quadratus Laborum (deep muscle under your lats and erectors connects to bottom rib, spine and hip), all the muscles in your buttocks (Glutes and Lateral Rotators), and even the Illiacus (an abdominal muscle) commonly cause lower Back pain. The Illiacus is hard to get to, and the QL is deep enough to be considered an abdominal muscle, but if you massage from the bottom of the shoulder blades down to and including the buttocks you have a good chance of getting some relief.

Lordosis is a backward curvature of the spine, while kyphosis is a forward curvature of the spine. The term lumbar referrs to the lower back. In the lumbar region the back is supposed to have lordosis. So loss of lordosis is when the natural curvature of the spine is absent. In other words, instead of the normal and necessary inward curve, the spine is straight. This can lead to misalignment of the pelvis causing lower back or knee pain.
