Sciatica and Piriformis Syndrome

Massage therapy can be an effective way to alleviate sciatica pain by reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation. It helps improve blood circulation, which can enhance healing and reduce inflammation in the affected areas. Additionally, specific massage techniques can target tightness in the lower back and hips, which may relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Regular massage sessions can contribute to overall pain management and improve mobility for those suffering from sciatica.

Particular focus on the piriformis and gluteal muscles, using techniques like deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy or myofascial release to relieve muscular tension around the sciatic nerve.
