Problem: Susie complained of pain radiating from gluteus into the hamstrings. She was also feeling pain on meddle back, shoulders and neck. The pain varied from a mild ache to excruciating discomfort. Sitting at a desk for long hours aggravated.
Treatment: Combination of massage, craniosacral and Reiki: I applied deep tissue massage to relax the buttock muscles and pressure to the soft tissue on the piriformis muscle, which runs under the buttock muscles. This helps to relax the muscles, increases circulation, break up scar tissue and release the pressure on the nerve. Them massage and craniosacral on the neck to help release what was causing the tension.
Results after treatment: After the first treatment there was reduced pain and discomfort, which lasted for a few days. She was feeling better and decided to adventure to clear up her garage on Saturday ..
Tuesday treatment: Susie came back with the symptoms a little worse due to cleaning up her garage plus some jaw discomfort because of the braces she had just put in. This time I used the same deep tissue techniques and added some Reiki energy work and craniosacral on neck, jaw and face. She felt immediate relieve from symptoms right after getting up from the table. We schedule a follow up session next week and she will keep her treatment every other week for prevention.

Sciatica - Client: Marck
Problem: The Client complained of pain radiating from the lower back and pins and needles down the right side of the buttocks into the knee. The pain varied from a mild ache to excruciating discomfort. Driving and sitting at a desk for long hours aggravated.
Assessment: On examination of the lower back and buttocks area the buttock muscles were (hyper tonic) over tight/tense. On deeper palpation of the buttocks I found the Piriformis muscle inflamed which was pressing on the sciatic nerve.
Treatment: Marck has been coming to me for a 90 minute deep tissue massage every other week for the last 6 months. I applied deep tissue massage to relax the buttock muscles and pressure to the soft tissue on the piriformis muscle, which runs under the buttock muscles. This helps to relax the muscles, increases circulation, break up scar tissue and release the pressure on the nerve.
Results: After the first treatment there was reduced pain and discomfort, which lasted for a few days. Between each treatment this improved, the buttocks began to relax. After five weekly treatments the pins and needles had completely gone and just a small ache after sitting for long hours.
