Sciatica Massage in Gävle
Introduction
If you have ever been affected by sciatica, you know how painful and limiting it can be. Activities such as standing, walking, or bending down can become awkward.
At the Fascia Clinics in Gävle we specialize in an integrated and complex treatment method for sciatica. The treatment is not only meant to relieve the symptoms, but also the cause of your sciatica. We do not massage, but perform fascia treatments, where the focus is on treating the fascia.
Fascia is the body’s largest organ. It is a kind of connective tissue that permeates and binds everything together in the whole body. All muscles, organs, joints, bones, etc. are connected by this tissue.
What is sciatica?
Sciatica: An Overview
Sciatica is mainly characterized by experiencing intense pain that runs along the entire sciatic nerve. The pain can radiate from the lumbar spine, through the hip and buttocks, all the way down to the foot. Other symptoms such as tingling, muscle weakness and loss of sensation may occur.
The most common cause of sciatica is a disc involvement between one of the vertebrae of the lumbar spine. If the sciatic nerve is irritated, it responds by sending out pain signals to the central nervous system.
Sciatica can affect your everyday life, but your night’s sleep can also be impaired. You may have to give up sports activities and work because of your problems. However, it is important not to sit still for long periods of time. This can further increase the pressure on the sciatic nerve.
The goals of sciatica massage
Sciatica massage is focused on relieving pain and discomfort that arises from pressure on the sciatic nerve. By working the muscles in the affected area, pain can be reduced, circulation can be increased, and mobility improved.
Benefits of choosing Fascia clinics for sciatica massage
Individually tailored treatments
Here at the Fascia Clinics, we believe that every body is unique. That’s why we avoid “one size fits all”. Instead, we spend time in a thorough consultation where we undergo a comprehensive examination to better understand your specific situation. This allows us to create a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to you.
A fascia treatment is focused on treating the body as a whole. Compared to massages that focus more on the musculoskeletal system, we focus on the whole body. The fascia, with its multidimensional network that connects the entire body, means that we cannot ignore the other systems. A treatment at the Fascia Clinics can thus give you a unique opportunity to regain full mobility and live pain-free.
How a sciatica massage works at the Fascia clinics
Preparation
Before the first visit, you will be asked to fill out a health form that our therapists will have access to. The therapists can then conduct a thorough review of your medical history and your current health condition. It also provides a clear picture of your specific needs and any problem areas that need extra attention. Your first visit begins with a consultation where we discuss your health form and your current symptoms. We also take and scan your balance and posture to see where imbalances and compensations are, and how these can affect you.
The treatment process
After the consultation, we begin the fascia treatment itself. The treatment is done with the clothes on and usually does not hurt. Our therapists are specially trained in fascia treatment based on the latest research. The therapist uses his hands and a Fascia innovation machine that sends out deep waves in the body. These speed up circulation and dissolve condensations in the fascia. During the treatment, we also adjust the pelvis and reduce the load on the vertebrae. The posture then becomes more straight and the spine regains a more natural curve. This can reduce the pressure on the sciatic nerve.
After the treatment
After treatment, it is normal to feel tired and lethargic. If the therapist thinks it is necessary, you can get advice and exercises to take home with you. It can help you maintain your positive treatment results and further improve your body ergonomics. Remember that it is important that you are willing and intentionally engage daily to experience positive change. Otherwise, there is a great risk that your problems will recur.
