Spotlight on Sciatica: A Massage Therapist’s Guide
Sciatica is a common complaint that many massage therapists hear from their clients. However, sciatica is a broad term for what is often a more complicated neurologic condition.
This course seeks to provide massage therapists with a more comprehensive understanding of the types of conditions that produce the neurogenic pain often described as sciatica, including the anatomy and biomechanics that may be involved.
This course will then delve into how a deeper understanding of the condition can lead to more effective massage treatment plans and clearer communication between the therapist and the client; as well as preparing the therapist to integrate their treatment with other orthopedic professionals as a part of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment.

Clinical Orthopedic Massage for the Gluteal Region
Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints encountered by massage therapists, and the structure and function of the pelvis and gluteal muscles often plays a role in lower back dysfunction and discomfort. Gluteal muscles are also involved in conditions like sciatica, IT band syndrome, and other dysfunction of the lower extremities.
The glutes may be a sensitive area for many massage clients to have massaged, and clear and open communication between client and massage therapist helps pave the way for effective treatment plans. This class seeks to increase massage therapists’ confidence and skill in discussing and treating the gluteal region to aid in treating a number of orthopedic conditions of the lower body.
