Let’s break this down clearly so you know when therapeutic massage IS the right move for you. We definitely pride ourselves on customizing every massage to you, for you, every massage. We want to make sure this is the best move for you and your pain relief.
What Sciatica Actually Is (And What It Isn’t)
We all have a sciatic nerve in our body. It begins in our “ventral Rami,” so the cluster of spinal nerves that provide sensory perceptions to all of our extremities (I.e arms, legs.)
Sciatica refers to the irritation or compression of the “sciatic nerve” which begins in our lower back (think of L3, L4,) splits into smaller nerves just below the glutes, and extends all the way down into your foot. The shooting sciatic nerve pain shouldn’t be happening. That irritation can come from a plethora of things including:
Tight piriformis muscle
Deep glute tension
Profound hamstring tightness
Chronic low back compression
Disc involvement
Postural stress from sitting, driving, or just being a human.
In many cases, especially in active professionals as well as desk workers in the Briargate region and along Academy Blvd, sciatic pain is muscular in origin.
That’s where therapeutic ashiatsu massage becomes the power house tool for fighting off tension!

When Massage Is the Right Choice for Sciatica Pain
Massage is typically suitable when:
Pain constantly worsens after sitting for extended periods of time.
Glutes feel tight or “locked” without a known reason
You feel pulling into the hamstring incessantly
You’ve had chronic tension for months without a solution
Stretching alone isn’t cutting it for longer than a few moments to maybe a day tops.
Ashiatsu allows for deeper, more even compression than traditional deep tissue massages. That compression helps decompress chronically tight lumbar tissues and hips.
Cupping therapy can also accelerate results by bringing stagnant tension closer to the surface. We love combining these techniques to get the most done in the same amount of time.

When You Should Pause and Consult First
Consulting with your medical provider is a priority. If this has been an outstanding issue for months, if not years at a time, please seek medical help. Sometimes, this can be disc decay related and surgery or injections may be needed for intervention. Massage should also be delayed if you have:
Sudden loss of bowel/bladder control
Progressive leg weakness
Recent acute disc injury with neurological symptoms
In those cases, medical evaluation comes first.
But most persistent sciatica cases we see in Colorado Springs are muscular and respond extremely well to structured and well maintained therapeutic care.
How Often Should You Come In for Sciatica?
**This is where most people miss their progress points.**
One session helps, absolutely!
Consistency changes the recurring patterns.
If you’ve had sciatic pain for more than 3 months, your nervous system has adapted to it and you are more than likely just muting the pain as much as you physically can. To reverse that pattern, every 2-weeks is typically the sweet spot to keep the pain at bay.
People who commit to biweekly therapeutic massage care see:
Reduced flare-up frequencies
Improved hip mobility
Maintaining better sleep patterns
Less nerve irritation

What Makes Ashiatsu Different for Sciatica?
Traditional deep tissue often relies on therapist hand, finger, and elbow strength while pushing into the tissues. Ashiatsu massage distributes the pressure using body weight through the feet stepping down into the tissues. This allows:
Broader compression
Deeper access to lumbar and glute muscles
Safer pressure without sharp poking sensations throughout the massage
More effective decompression
When paired with cupping therapy, tension that has been buried for years can finally be resurfaced and addressed appropriately.
The Bigger Picture: Preventing Recurrence
Sciatica often returns because:
Desk posture isn’t addressed
Sessions are spaced too far apart
Only surface muscles were treated due to time restrictions and too far apart appointment spacing. Tissues only move so much when taken care of haphazardly.
Therapeutic progression means addressing:
Lumbar erector spinae muscles
Quadratus lumborum
Piriformis
Glute medius
Hamstring attachments
Adductor muscles
Progress happens when structure improves, not just symptoms.
Don’t Wait for It to Flare Again!
If your sciatica has been cycling on and off, this is your sign to address it before it escalates.
