Sciatica pain is a chronic pain that affects the sciatic nerve, which lies in the lower back. It can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in your lower legs.
Sciatica pain is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from your hips to your feet and can become compressed if you have arthritis, slipped discs or a bad back injury.
The five most common massage techniques to relieve your backaches, including sciatica pain, are:
Hip-to-knee stretch: this stretches out the hip flexor muscles and helps relieve lower back pain.
Psoas stretch: this stretches out tight hip flexor muscles, which are often responsible for causing sciatica pain.
Quadruped hip extension: this helps stretch tight hip flexors and relieves lower back pain caused by sciatica.
Scapular glide: this helps alleviate tension in tight chest muscles, which can contribute to sciatica pain as well.
Pelvic tilt: this helps loosen tight hip flexors, which can also cause sciatica.
