Using Massage as Treatment for Sciatica and Hip Pain Sciatica is a set of symptoms that may be caused by general compression and/or irritation of one of the five spinal nerve roots. Piriformis syndrome, while related and many times confused with sciatica, points more to a specific origin of dysfunction. Sciatic nerve dysfunction affects nearly 40 percent of adults at some point during their lifetime. Among the many possible causes of nerve compression, spinal disc herniation leads the list of much research material, but spinal disc herniation accounts for only 5 percent in sciatica cases. The condition can cause extreme pain and numbness and in some cases, the syndrome has no specific cause. Traditional medical treatment is beginning to be replaced by alternative therapies such as specialized massage with amazing results.

This live one-day seminar will focus on the hip and sacroiliac area. A prolonged sitting posture can lead to tight hip flexor muscles that encourage weakness in the low back. Bending of the knees in this position will cause tight hamstrings muscles, which pull the ischium downwards and further strains the low back. This course encompasses a variety of soft tissue techniques and self-help therapies used in treating debilitating pain of the lower extremities. These methods will be demonstrated in order for participants to see how they can be substituted as non-surgical alternatives. You will not only be able to immediately experience the results for yourself, but will also be able to apply these techniques with various patients.

Course DirectorGARRY ADKINS, NCTmB, CmI, has been a Certified Massage Therapist Instructor for 17 years and is a NCBTMB Approved Continuing Education Provider. Mr. Adkins is a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee Sports Medicine Society, International Association of Healthcare Practitioners, past president of the Association of Michigan Myomassologists Inc., and featured speaker at the Humanistic Medicine Procedure Lecture, Wayne State Medical School, 2004, and the Michigan Chiropractic Society 2005 Fall Convention. Mr. Adkins traveled to St. Moritz, Switzerland, as the team massage therapist for the U.S. Olympic team at the 2007 Bobsled and Skeleton World Championships. He was selected as a team member of the 2002 Winter Olympic

Massage Team, Salt Lake City, UT. He was nominated for Massage Therapist of the Year, Detroit Monthly magazine 1992, and was the first person to ever demonstrate massage therapy techniques at a World’s Fair in Seville, Spain, 1992 (United States pavilion).

During the time I had sciatica, I had countless therapies with ‘very little’ or ‘no relief’ of the pain. When I got up off of Garry’s table I had some minor sore spots here and there but the burning (electrifying shocks) I had been experiencing for two months prior were gone. I remember thinking will this last, and or for how long? It did. The sore spots went away in a couple of days and the sciatica has not come back. It has been over four months now and all is well. I am so thankful to have found Garry.

Many people have become the best they can be because of his gentle concern, respect, and encouragement. These are

the students, apprentices, and assistants who might have quit long ago under the tutelage of a less sensitive instructor. Because of his

faith in them, they now possess self-esteem and self-confidence.
