SCIATICA PAIN

Sciatica pain is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the buttocks and legs. Massage therapy can be helpful in treating sciatica pain by reducing muscle tension and inflammation, increasing blood flow to the affected area, and improving range of motion. Here are some massage treatments that may be beneficial:

Deep Tissue Massage: This type of massage uses slow, deep pressure to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It can help release tension in the lower back and buttock muscles that can contribute to sciatica pain.

Trigger Point Therapy: This technique involves applying pressure to specific points in the muscle to release tension and alleviate pain. Trigger points can develop in the lower back and buttock muscles due to overuse or injury, contributing to sciatica pain.

Myofascial Release: This technique involves applying sustained pressure to the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles, known as fascia. It can help release tension and improve mobility in the lower back and buttock muscles that contribute to sciatica pain.

Hot Stone Massage: Hot stones can be used during massage therapy to help relax muscles and increase circulation, which can be beneficial in reducing sciatica pain.
