Pins and needles down your leg?
Sciatica is a condition characterised by pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, typically travelling from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to significant pain that affects daily activities, movement, and exercise.
Massage therapy may help manage sciatica by reducing muscle tension in the lower back, glutes, and hips that can contribute to nerve irritation and restricted movement. By improving circulation, decreasing muscle tightness, and enhancing mobility, massage can help relieve discomfort, reduce pressure on surrounding tissues, and support recovery. While massage does not treat the underlying cause of sciatica, it can be an effective part of a comprehensive pain management and rehabilitation approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A combination of remedial massage, deep tissue techniques, and myofascial release yields the best results. We avoid aggressive, heavy pressure directly over an inflamed nerve. Instead, we use targeted, intelligent pressure on the surrounding muscle groups—such as the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back—to take the mechanical pressure off the nerve.
-
If a therapist presses too hard directly on an already angry, compressed sciatic nerve, it can cause a temporary flare-up. That is why seeing a qualified remedial therapist is crucial. We assess your specific symptoms first and work around the nerve pathway to create space and relief, ensuring your treatment is safe and therapeutic.
