Massage for sciatica in Surrey.
At Therapy Now, sciatica massage means focused therapeutic massage for low back, hip, glute, and leg symptoms that may be related to sciatic nerve irritation, muscle tension, posture strain, injury, or ICBC recovery.
Focused massage for sciatic-type pain.
Sciatica is commonly used to describe pain, tightness, tingling, or discomfort that travels from the low back or hip into the glute, thigh, or leg. At Therapy Now, sciatica massage means therapeutic massage that targets the low back, hips, glutes, and surrounding soft tissues that may be contributing to your symptoms.
This is different from a general relaxation massage. Sciatica massage is goal-focused. Your Registered Massage Therapist may ask about your symptoms, check movement when appropriate, and focus treatment around the areas that need support.
The goal is simple.
We want to help reduce muscle tension, improve comfort, support movement, and help you better understand what may be contributing to your sciatic-type symptoms.

When should you book massage for sciatica?
People often book sciatica massage when low back, hip, glute, or leg symptoms start affecting sitting, walking, driving, sleep, work, exercise, or daily life.
Low Back Pain
Sciatica-like symptoms often overlap with low back pain, stiffness, and muscle guarding around the lumbar spine.
Glute & Hip Tightness
Massage may focus on glute, hip, and pelvic muscles that can contribute to discomfort into the hip, thigh, or leg.
Leg Symptoms
Some patients describe aching, tightness, tingling, or referral into the thigh or leg. Your therapist will adapt care based on your symptoms.
Posture, Sitting & Lifting
Long sitting, driving, lifting, desk work, repetitive strain, and weakness can contribute to recurring sciatic-type discomfort.
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage targets a specific injury, painful area, or movement concern instead of only providing general relaxation.
ICBC Back & Hip Injuries
If your symptoms started after a car accident, massage therapy may be part of your ICBC injury recovery plan.
Your appointment is based on your symptoms.
A sciatica massage appointment usually starts with a short discussion about where you feel symptoms, what activities bother it, what helps, and what you want to improve.
Intake & Goals
Your therapist may ask when symptoms started, where they travel, what makes them worse, what helps, and whether low back or hip pain is involved.
Movement Check
Your therapist may check back movement, hip movement, posture, tenderness, or tension patterns when appropriate.
Focused Treatment
Treatment may include the low back, hips, glutes, hamstrings, calves, or surrounding areas depending on your symptoms and comfort.
Home Care
Your therapist may suggest simple stretches, heat or ice guidance, movement breaks, posture tips, or follow-up care when helpful.
Sciatic-type symptoms can come from more than one place.
Sciatica-like symptoms may be related to low back irritation, hip or glute tension, muscle guarding, posture, prolonged sitting, lifting, disc-related irritation, pregnancy, repetitive strain, or motor vehicle accidents.
