Massage therapy offers a wide range of benefits for both physical and mental well-being, making it a valuable tool for managing various conditions and promoting overall health. While it's not a cure-all, massage can be a beneficial addition to a comprehensive wellness plan.

Physical Benefits:

Pain Relief:
Massage can help reduce muscle pain and stiffness by improving circulation, decreasing muscle tension, and reducing inflammation. It can also help alleviate chronic pain conditions and improve range of motion.

Improved Circulation:
Massage techniques can enhance blood flow, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and remove waste products, promoting healing and overall health.

Reduced Muscle Tension and Stiffness:
Massage can help release muscle tension and knots, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness, particularly after exercise or injury.
Faster Recovery:
Massage can aid in quicker recovery from workouts or injuries by reducing muscle soreness and inflammation.

Better Sleep:
Massage can promote relaxation and reduce stress, which can lead to improved sleep quality.

Boosted Immune System:
By increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage, massage can help the body's natural defense system.

Mental Benefits:
Stress and Anxiety Reduction:
Massage therapy can help lower levels of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.

Improved Mood:
Massage can stimulate the release of endorphins, natural mood boosters that can elevate mood and promote feelings of well-being.

Enhanced Mental Alertness:
Increased blood flow and reduced tension can improve focus and mental clarity.

Other Benefits:
Improved Posture: By addressing muscle imbalances and tension, massage can help improve posture and body alignment.
Reduced Headaches: Massage can be effective in relieving tension headaches and migraines.

Sciatica and piriformis syndrome both couse buttock and leg pain, but they differ in their orgin.
Sciatica is a symptom of sciatica nerve irritation, often caused by a lower back issue like: herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, injuries, tumors,cysts or other growths.
Anything that makes the piriformis press on the sciatic nerve can cause piriformis syndrome.The most common piriformis syndrome causes are: inflamation (swelling) in the piriformis or the tissues arround it , muscle spasms, scarring in the muscle.
These issues can result from:
- climbing stairs, walking or running
- working on the knee
- injuring the hip
- lifting something (heavy) improperly
- not warming up before physical activity
- overexercising
With sciatica pain is almost imposible to move, with piriformis syndrome - movement is helps to relieve the pain.
I always said to my patients that the first symptom of piriformis syndrome is a problem with pitting a sock or shoe.
From lokal doctors you will usually get naproxen and co-codamol, which unfortunately do not really help. For both problems help painkillers for neuralgia eg.gabapentin
To treat both problems I recommend:
Sciatica - Breuss Massage (Dorn Method )
Piriformis syndrome - sport massage (trigger point ), very helpful for both problems is lower back stretching ‼️ I could easly say that is the stretching is the basis and daily obligation. Very helpful is also accupuncture, utrasounds therapy ,kinesio taping and cupping .
All treatments are available in my massage room.
I attached here the best video of exercises for piriformis syndrome (in Polish language but you will see how to do it )
