If you have persistent lower back pain that radiates from your hips down to your legs and prevents you from performing daily activities, you may be suffering from sciatica. While painkillers offer short-term relief, therapeutic massage is a reliable method to tackle the root cause of the pain.

At Planet Massage in Fort Lauderdale, we specialize in providing focused sciatic massage that restores normal functioning and provides long-lasting relief.

​Our skilled, licensed massage therapists are experts in managing sciatica-related issues. Utilizing tested and successful methods, we can pinpoint and treat the symptoms of sciatic nerve pain, thereby reducing inflammation and improving mobility.

What is Sciatica and Why Does it Hurt?

The condition known as sciatica is not a diagnosis in itself, but rather an indication of an underlying condition. The sciatic nerve travels down your lower back, through your buttocks, and into each leg. When the sciatic nerve is pinched, you may feel:

  • Shooting pain in the buttock, hip, or lower back.
  • Tingling or numbness in the leg.
  • Weakness in the leg or foot.

The main causes of this pain are:

  • Tight muscles in the hips and lower back
  • A bone spur
  • A herniated disc

Direct pressure on the sciatic nerve from the spasmodic piriformis muscle causes piriformis syndrome, which increases the suffering. However, a piriformis syndrome massage in Fort Lauderdale can significantly reduce pain and provide relief.

How Massage Helps with Sciatic Nerve Pain

Therapeutic massage is an ideal way to cope with sciatic nerve pain. Sciatica massage:

  • ​Releases muscle tension in the lower back, hips, and glutes, thereby reducing compression on the sciatic nerve.
  • Improves blood circulation, ensuring that more oxygen and nutrients reach the affected region, which supports healing and lowers discomfort.
  • Reduces inflammation, easing pressure and discomfort in the sciatic nerve.

 

  • Restores mobility, allowing you to carry out daily tasks freely as your muscles relax and pain subsides.

This natural approach provides relief without the use of painkillers or medications. Contact us today to book a sciatic nerve pain massage in Fort Lauderdale and experience improved comfort and mobility.

Massage Techniques for Sciatica Relief

To relieve individuals of sciatica, Planet Massage employs a range of specialized and customized techniques.

\

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep muscles and connective tissues benefit from deep tissue massage in Fort Lauderdale. Particularly useful for easing long-term stress and loosening tight knots in the glutes and lower back, which commonly trigger sciatic nerve pain. It’s a strong, focused approach that supports long-term relief and improved mobility.

\

Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Treatment

By gently stretching the connective tissue surrounding your muscles, myofascial release therapy helps relieve stress on the sciatic nerve. It targets tight muscle knots that  cause excruciating pain. Trigger point therapy for sciatica helps reduce pain that runs down your leg.

\

Piriformis Syndrome Massage

Behind sciatic nerve pain is sometimes the piriformis muscle, found in the hip. Focused pressure from our therapists releases tension in this muscle, thereby reducing the strain on the sciatic nerve and relieving discomfort in your hip and leg.

\

Neuromuscular Therapy & Glute Release Massage

Using this approach, exact pressure helps to balance the interaction between your muscles and nerves. Relaxing these muscles, glute release massage targets the muscles in your buttocks, where the sciatic nerve runs. This way, neuromuscular therapy Fort Lauderdale reduces pain and improves your movement and sensation.
