Lower Back Disorders; Disc Herniation, Lumbalgia, Sciatic Nerve Neuralgia, Post-Isometric Relaxation & Back Rehabilitative Exercises.
Sciatic nerve neuralgia is considered to be one of the most difficult abnormalities of the support and movement system. Clinical expressions of sciatic nerve neuralgia include sharp pain irradiating to the lower extremities which increases during any of the patient's attempts to move and of course limited range of motion on all axes and planes. Usually, when a patient appears at the doctor's office with such a difficult clinical picture, in addition to prescribing painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and/or utilizing injections, the doctor will usually refer the patient for radiological examination. Today, the most common radiological examinations are the MRI and/or CT scan. In many cases, MRI test detects bulging and/or herniation of discs. If symptoms are not alleviated in a period of a few weeks due to conservative methods of treatments (above mentioned oral or injected medication) consideration will be given to surgical intervention. The problem is that in many cases, this difficult neurological picture is not the result of the disc herniation, but is actually the result of piriformis muscle syndrome.
Anatomy of the Piriformis Muscles
The Piriformis muscle originates from the anterior surface of the sacrum and inserts into the greater trochanter. It shares the passage through the greater sciatic foramen with several important nervous and vascular structures including nerves which provide innervation to pelvic inner organs, the gluteals, and the lower extremities. The piriformis muscles can accumulate tension to the point that they will start compressing/ impinging sciatic nerve and awaking in some cases intolerable pain in the buttocks and lower back with irradiation to the extremities.
Sciatica nerve neuralgia can be the result of compression of the S1 spinal nerve as well as due to the compression of the sciatic nerve by over-tensed piriformis muscles. If patients with symptoms of sciatica have the ability to bend forward without awaking pain, most likely the sciatica neuralgia is the results of piriformis muscle syndrome.
The Causes for Accumulation of Tension in the Piriformis Muscles
1. Due to spondylosis, including herniation of disc, spinal nerves can be irritated (please do not confuse irritation of the spinal nerve with compression of the spinal nerve.) Irritation of the spinal nerves that provide innervation to the piriformis muscles (S1 spinal nerve) will cause a gradual accumulation of tension in these muscles, to the point that they will compress the sciatic nerve.
2. Physical overload of the muscles such as vigorous exercise, job performances that put too much static load on the piriformis muscles, hormone changes, exposure to toxins, physical and/or psychological trauma, etc.

@ChemicalViruS004 I'm glad you like my video , but very sorry to hear about your health problem. As I stated at my clip, in most cases both, compression of spinal nerves as well constricted periformis muscle, can contribute and trigger sciatic nerve neuralgia, not always disk herniations is responsible for difficult clinical picture.
In both cases protocol that I am presenting, can change condition to better. I wish you to get well fast.
Yours.Boris

Man, I respect your profession Boris, but I dont think i could do it. I know its all very professional, but i could never touch another mans butt haha, even for medical purposes.

@kawana87 I appreciate your respect to my profession. I really do.I can understand, one can think that he/she wouldn't be able to do it until one will realize, that at the time when on table person suffering from untolerant like tooth pain, sciatic nerve neuralgia, and what does it take to relieve this pains is to mobilize muscles within buttocks, most likely one wouldn't feel this way as you described.possibly you can be very good in this occupation.
Best wishes.

@mgaft1 Absolutely, Im sure it would be different in that situation. Its something that's got to be done. Ive thought about being a massage therapist in the past, and am still considering it. Who knows... Do you find that it takes alot of hand strength? I imagine your hands just get used to it with time. Thanks for the response.

@kawana87 actually any good school, first of all will teach you correct biomechanics,which including
utilization of your own weight in order to create desired pressure.few of my youtube clips I did dedicate to this subject. Please try to find them. Probably at channel.even it's physical methods of treatment,I don't believe you have to be extra strong. Just normal ,average physical condition. Good luck.
Best wishes.
