How Massage Helps Sciatica
1. Releases muscle tension and pressure on the nerve
Deep tissue, bamboo, or Swedish massage techniques can help ease tight muscles in the lower back, glutes, and leg, especially the piriformis muscle, which often compresses the sciatic nerve.
2. Improves blood and lymph circulation
Better circulation supports healing of inflamed tissues, reduces stiffness, and enhances nutrient and oxygen flow to affected areas.
3. Encourages natural alignment and mobility
Gentle stretching and muscle release around the hips and spine can improve posture and relieve nerve compression caused by imbalance.
4. Reduces inflammation and pain
Massage activates the body’s natural painkillers (endorphins)helping to reduce discomfort and improve mobility.
5. Relieves emotional and energetic tension
Chronic pain often carries emotional stress.
Reiki or chakra balancing, can support the energetic release of blocked or stagnant energy, helping the body and mind relax deeply.
