Relief for Sciatic Nerve Pain

Safe when the therapist knows about it — tell us before booking, not when they arrive. Our therapists work on the piriformis, glutes, and lower back muscles that are typically causing the compression, rather than directly on the nerve pathway itself.

Many clients feel the nerve pain ease during the session itself — sciatica often responds quickly once the piriformis and surrounding muscles start releasing. For chronic sciatica, expect the relief to deepen over 2-3 sessions rather than resolve in one.

If it's new, severe, or came on after an injury or accident, see a doctor first. If it's been diagnosed and you're managing it, massage is a sensible complement — especially useful when you're traveling and can't get your usual treatment.

For acute pain, a focused 60-minute session on the affected area is often sufficient. For chronic conditions, 90 minutes allows time to address both the primary pain site and the compensating muscles that tighten around it — lower back problems, for example, commonly involve hip flexors and hamstrings that a 60-minute session cannot fully cover. Your therapist will assess during the session and advise on follow-up frequency.

Yes. Massage complements physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and most medical treatments for musculoskeletal conditions. It addresses soft tissue tension that clinical interventions may not target directly. Inform your therapist about any ongoing treatments, recent injections, or medication so they can adjust pressure and technique accordingly. If you have had recent surgery or a confirmed acute injury, consult your doctor before booking.
