Sciatica treatment in Athlone

Sciatica is a condition in which pain, numbness or tingling can be felt along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down through the legs. This is caused by the sciatic nerve being irritated or compressed.

Glute and lower back treatment

How massage helps with sciatica

Ken provides treatment by massaging the surrounding muscles, which relieves the tension placed on the nerve and helps to reduce pain. The muscles of the lower back, glutes and hips are the usual focus, as tightness here is a common source of pressure on the nerve.

Treatment is adjusted to how you are feeling on the day. Sciatica can flare up, so Ken works at a pressure that eases rather than aggravates it.

What a session involves

  • A discussion of where you feel the pain, numbness or tingling
  • Massage of the lower back, glutes and hips
  • Work on the leg where symptoms travel, if needed
  • Advice on stretches and movements that keep the area loose
