Back Pain

Because so many of us spend a lot of time seated at our desks or in cars, it is quite common to suffer from upper back pain and low back pain. Back pain can also be caused by trauma, pregnancy or playing sports. Whatever the source of your back pain, I will work with you to assess which muscles are the likely cause and massage you to help your body recover. Assuming you dislike back pain as much as I do, I can also help you identify techniques to avoid returning to a state of suffering.

SCIATICA

Are you suffering from sciatica and hoping to avoid surgery? Have you had surgery but still suffer from sciatica symptoms? Sciatica is caused when the sciatic nerve is impinged and can cause pain, numbness and tingling. Pressure can be put on the nerve by vertebral discs, muscular tension or arthritic conditions. In some cases, fascial restrictions tight muscles will contribute to disc misalignment because some muscles are actually attached to the discs themselves and occasionally will pull the discs out of proper alignment! Other muscles that are not attached to the discs can also directly trap your sciatic nerve if they are too tight.
