About the Cobra Massage

Welcome to CobraMassage.com — where traditional massage meets back‑extension innovation. At Cobra Massage, we harness the power of the Cobra Position — a gentle yet effective prone back‑extension technique — to deliver lasting relief and renewed spinal mobility.

What Is the Cobra Massage?

The Cobra Massage centers on the Cobra Position (also known as McKenzie Extension or “Cobra” stretch), where a client lies face‑down and gently raises their sternum using their arms, creating a controlled arch in the lower back. This mirrors yoga’s Bhujangasana, applied through hands‑on massage or supported movement.

Benefits of Extension for Back Pain

  • Strengthen lumbar spine muscles → reducing pain and enhancing endurance.
  • Improve spinal range of motion → helping restore mobility and function.
  • Alleviate sciatica and disc irritation → by centralizing symptoms and creating spinal space.
  • Promote posture and alignment → extending the spine safely and evenly.

Will it help my sciatica?
