The lower back/sacrum region is supported by ligaments and muscles.  One of the reasons associated with sciatica pain is when the lower back/sacrum area is compromised the muscles will tense or go into a spasm to support the joint.  When this happens the sciatic nerve which runs between these muscles gets squashed resulting in the pain, tingling and numbness that runs down the front of your thigh and the back of your leg.

Massage treatment for sciatica pain starts with an assessment to find the cause. The treatment for the sciatic nerve pain is usually remedied in one session.
