Good Karma Studio

A good deep tissue massage works into tight muscles and stubborn knots while allowing your body to relax and release tension. You may feel some discomfort in problem areas, but you should still be able to breathe normally, relax, and communicate with your therapist.

Pain that makes you hold your breath, tense up, pull away, or feel like you’re being tortured is NOT the goal.

Deep tissue isn’t about how much pain you can tolerate—it’s about getting results.

I always adjust pressure to what your body needs because the best massage is one that helps your muscles release, not one that leaves you bruised and dreading your next appointment.

Remember: “Hurts good” = productive. “Hurts bad” = too much.

Massage for sciatica can provide significant relief and improve overall mobility.
By targeting tight muscles in the low back, glutes, and hips, massage helps reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, easing pain, tingling, and discomfort that can travel down the leg. It also improves circulation, decreases inflammation, and helps the body move more freely and comfortably.
