Deep Friction Massage Some leg pain is caused by a spasm in a deep muscle located in the buttock called the piriformis. The Sciatic nerve runs right on top of this muscle so a spasm here can cause pain in the leg. The treatment is to put deep pressure on this muscle. Prolonged pressure will cause this muscle to relax, decreasing the pain. This massage is quite painful but you feel great after it is completed. In fact, it is not normal to feel pain with deep pressure to this muscle – only a muscle in spasm will be painful. Spinal Mobilization. Gentle mobilization (or movement) of each spinal segment helps to increase mobility of the spine and relieves pain. The pain relief from this technique lasts because it is paired with the right stretching exercise.
“It is never too late to be what you might
once the leg pain is gone. Gentle Exercise
have been.” - George Eliot
