Pain We Treat

Sciatica

Melbourne Muscular Therapies

Experiencing an aching, nervy sensation throughout your hips and legs? Burning, tingling, or pins and needles running from your hips to your feet β€” especially when bending forward or arching your back? That's sciatica.

Sciatica can result from muscular tightness, piriformis syndrome, nerve impingement (disc bulge, facet joint irritation, spinal compression), poor biomechanics, stress, prolonged sitting, or lack of movement. When lower back or glute muscles are tight and dysfunctional, they place added pressure on the sciatic nerve.

With our specialised deep tissue massage we relieve tension by loosening the muscles and preventing pinching and irritation. Massage also helps reduce pain by releasing endorphins. We then strengthen your body, improve your posture, and enhance your biomechanics to decrease the chances of your sciatica returning.

Common Questions

FAQ's

Sciatica can recur from disc pathology, facet joint irritation, or spinal compression, but more commonly from pelvic asymmetry, tight glute and hip muscles, and neurological imbalances. Treatment combines Deep Tissue Massage to release compressed tissues, followed by Barefoot Functional Strength Training.

Self-massage of the piriformis, glute medius and minimus, and TFL provides fast relief. Piriformis and glute stretches also help. For persistent symptoms, Deep Tissue Massage and Barefoot Functional Strength Training deliver lasting results.

Ideally weekly, with a minimum monthly frequency recommended to maintain results and prevent tension from accumulating.
