When a nerve becomes pinched ,you can experience a number of uncomfortable symptoms such as numbness, pain,tingling,weakness and other issues along the nerves specific path and then throughout the body.

This is due to the fact that massage benefits are many for those suffering from physical aches and pains, especially in moving joints.A pinched nerve occurs when the nerves are somehow injured or damaged by compression or direct pressure.This prevents the nerve from being able to send and receive important sensory and motor signals. While there are several locations in the body for a nerve to become compressed or damaged. Common areas are -
Neck Often caused by arthritis, bone spurs,herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
Wrist most likely cause is compression of the median nerve,leading to carpel tunnel syndrome.
Elbow Compression of the ulnar nerve leading to cubital tunnel syndrome.
Shoulder pinched nerve in the upper spine also called cervical radiculopathy.
Buttocks Compression of the sciatic nerve ,which can cause sciatica.
Lower back Often caused by arthritis, bone spurs,herniated discs,spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal where nerves are located,also sciatica.
Its is important to note that a pinched nerve does not lead to localised pain instead this type of injury causes pain that radiates to other areas of the body .
Massage therapy can greatly help by relieving pain and discomfort associated with a pinched nerve.
Post massage, clients are advised to stretch and avoid heavy lifting and also keep well hydrated .
Consider regular massage as a way to help you with symptoms of this condition and to improve your overall wellbeing.
