Sciatica explained.

    • Improper lifting

    • Lower-back discomfort

How we treat your condition.

Alongside deep tissue massage, our Heidelberg therapists may use complementary techniques to enhance your results.

  • Deep Tissue Massage

    Trigger Point Therapy

    Focused pressure is applied to muscle “knots” that can cause pain or tension in other areas. Helps reduce referred pain and restore mobility.

  • Myofascial Release

    Gentle, sustained pressure on the fascia, the connective tissue around muscles, to release restrictions, improve flexibility, and ease discomfort.
