Massage is better than medications for our aching back?

According to a Seattle-based researchers from the Group Health Research Institute they examined the benefits of relaxation massage if it will really cure our aching back. It was said in the report that a weekly one hour massage will do the trick than drinking medicine. 

Personally I would prefer a massage since its also therapeutic for our stress. The only problem though is that its not everyday that we can afford an hours worth of massage. For me, I actually have a machine at home that massages my back. I actually bought that thing for like 2,000 pesos. Nowadays I don't use it since I have 2 kids that might trample it haha! 

But above that, I think its more than massage that can help us cure our aching backs. You can just practice proper posture since one factor for back ache is improper posture.
