There's lots of fancy words and terms that can be used to talk about back pain but let's just get straight to the point. Sciatica or any form of back pain is an absolute pain in the arse (literally at times) .

Not only is it annoying it can reduce your quality of life. It is important however not to try to use back pain as an excuse to be lazy because once you become lazy mentally too that's when the shitball really starts to roll....reduced exercise, eating more, this then leads to excess weight gain which can then put extra strain on the body and extra strain on your back. On top of this confidence, self esteem, lack of interest in sex due to lack of confidence all start to reduce which can lead to depression and feeling generally crap about yourself. Then the foggy brain comes and you're unable to see between the fog to clear your head to deal with your emotions and your overall wellbeing. My massage for sciatica is more than just a massage for sciatica or back pain because as well as getting to the point and dealing with your back your mental wellbeing is also important to me too. My massage for sciatica will relax and destress you as well as helping to ease your discomfort.

A massage for sciatica or back pain is not a magic wand, don't expect to be jumping off the couch like grandpa in Willly Wonka's Chocolate Factory after one session. Or floating through the air like Mary Poppins (although whilst you're on my couch I will have you floating) Regular sessions are recommended as part of your wellbeing routine to help you tackle the challenges and discomfort of your sciatica or back pain.

 

The pain from sciatica and other back pain quite often goes down the back, glutes (butt) and the back of the legs. This massage is tailored to include your glutes which is just what you need. A towel is used for this session for your comfort so you do not have to lay there butt naked. Only the side I am working on at the time needs to be exposed however if you are dealing with self esteem and confidence issues, not having the towel during the massage may be that 1st tiny step you need to help you feel happy in your own skin again promoting body positivity. I must stress that this is not a naturist massage as you do not need to be fully undressed due to the area that is worked on during this session.

 

This targeted session lasts for 30 minutes so even the busiest of individuals suffering with back pain can fit this important self care session into their weekly schedule. 

This massage for sciatica and back pain is tailored for the lower half of your body...from mid back to the back of your knees, if you would like to include your upper back also select the 45 minute session.  

​

 

This 45 minute session is short, sweet and straight to the point so you can nip in on your lunch break.

 

I've seen some poeple ask online if massage can make sciatica worse? ...Well if a therapist is daft enough to apply ridiculous amounts of pressure it's not going to feel great is it which brings me to my point of communication.

 

It is important that you communicate with me, there will be elements that you feel uncomfortable as we are dealing with back pain however my aim is for you to feel as comfortable as possible throughout the session so that your time with me is optimised and I deliver a session that leaves you feeling excited for the next one!
