Massage for Sciatic Pain in Bradford
Sciatic pain can present as burning, tingling, or sharp discomfort traveling from the buttock into the back of the thigh and calf. While lumbar disc or foraminal irritation may be involved, peripheral soft-tissue contributors; piriformis, deep gluteal muscles, and posterior hip fascia; often maintain symptoms. Our deep tissue approach reduces tone, frees nerve pathways, and complements mobility/strength work for durable relief.
How We Target Sciatic Pain
- Deep gluteal release: slow, sustained pressure to piriformis and short external rotators.
- Posterior hip myofascial techniques: restore hip hinge and stride length.
- Paraspinal & QL relaxation: reduces protective guarding around the lumbar spine.
- Breath pacing & positions of relief: offload irritated structures between sessions.
Driver-Focused Matrix
| Primary Driver | Clues | Massage Focus | Allied Interventions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Piriformis-related | Buttock pain ↑ with sitting, relief with hip stretch | Deep glute/piriformis release | Physio nerve glides; hip mobility |
| Lumbar-related | Back-dominant pain; positional sensitivity | Lumbar paraspinals/QL, posterior chain | Chiropractic Adjustments for segmental motion |
What Patients Often Report
- Easier sitting and driving tolerance
- Less “zinging” or tingling with walking/standing
