Back Pain & Sciatica Relief
-
Deep Tissue Massage: This technique uses slow, deliberate strokes and intense, firm pressure to target the deepest layers of muscle and connective tissue (fascia). Deep tissue massage is highly effective for lower back pain and can help release chronic adhesions pressing on the sciatic nerve.
-
Trigger Point Therapy: This modality focuses on releasing specific, hyper-irritable "knots" within the muscle tissue. When treating sciatica, therapists isolate tight spots in the gluteal and piriformis muscles, applying sustained digital pressure to eliminate referred pain that radiates down the leg.
-
Myofascial Release: This approach uses gentle, sustained stretching pressure on the fascia (the web-like connective tissue surrounding muscles). It is ideal for breaking up rigid, restricted tissues that are pulling the lower back out of alignment and irritating the nerve.
-
Swedish Massage: If deep pressure is too painful during an acute flare-up, Swedish massage offers a gentler alternative. It uses long, gliding strokes to boost circulation, flush out localized inflammation, and reduce full-body muscle guarding
