Have you found massage to be comforting? A lot of massage therapists sell gift certificates (even some who don't advertise them are happy to work something out if you ask. That's how I surprised my mother with 3 hours of massage, a few years ago...she'd never had anything like it before, and she liked it.) If you know a specific therapist is good for your back and doesn't make any of your other problems worse, you ought to mention him or her by name rather than just asking for "massage."
If schedule and transport problems mean you end up needing to save the gift certificate and use it in September, during the school day...well, there are worse things.
