Many clients have a hard time understanding Sciatic Pain.
What they do know is that they are experiencing symptoms like: possible lower back pain, pain that shoots down one side of the leg- possibly all the way to the foot, aggravated pain when standing or sitting, and possible nerve effects such as numbness or tingling.
Often this pain is the result of a disk problem. So the best thing to do when pain continues is to see your physician and find out the “root” issue so to speak. Hopefully, an integrative doctor will send you to a spine specialist, and have some referrals for some excellent massage therapists and bodyworkers in your local area. An integrative approach will often be more helpful because each individual is organized uniquely and it often takes an individualized plan to help restore corrective posture and movement to bring health back to the lower lumbars and sacral area.
An Integrative Approach
What I have found helpful with the combinations available to clients is a unique plan to practice movement such as Feldenkrais or Continuum, checking in with an experienced chiropractor, and a focus on correcting posture through Structural Integration and Craniosacral. Because the fascia contains all the cells, tissue, organs and living materials in the body, it is responsible for helping to keep a body nourished and well dialoguing for health and wellness. When the connective tissue fascia adheres, dehydrates, and stiffens, fluids and other nutrients can’t reach their destination. The flow of life diminishes in that area. People end up with bulging and herniated disks from wear and tear or imbalances that were not recognized and treated earlier.
Take charge of your self care plan. Sciatic Pain is not something to take lightly. It is possible to resolve by itself through hot/cold treatments, but is likely to show up again without making some real change in the body. Sharon Hartnett LMT has seen some very positive changes where people shift into a pain free life with myofascial massage and bodywork.

Whatever unhappiness rests in your life may be because you have forgotten the Truth of your Soul.
It’s so easy to get caught up in everything you believe. The outside world can be so enticing and easy to get lost in.
We are taught from an early age that this is this and that is that. We identify with objects and people so that our mind takes precedence over our sacred human hearts. We forget that love is what leads the Universe rather than our thinking.
Finding Your Truth
So how do you get in touch with your Authentic Soul, the reason of your Being?
7 ideas to help you Change your Life:
- Question Your Thinking… When you have lost your joy of life, your thinking is usually out of alignment with truth. You’ll find the truth when you truly pay attention.
- Listen to the Kindness of your Heart. So often- our minds are the master of our lives. What if we turned that around?
- Mindfulness: Slowing down into the Moment to explore your sensory and emotional relationships. When we take the time to BE with reality, it’s easier to re-discover the joy and grace that has been there all along.
- Recognize your Inner Critic. How many times have the old beliefs that you heard growing up start repeating themselves in your head? Look now with fresh eyes and a fresh outlook.
- Invite Life to BE your teacher rather than trying to control life. There is no such thing as control so best to let go of that concept.
- Try positive statements while looking in the mirror that reflect your core qualities. So often people get the wrong message about who they are. Try out life affirmations and let them drop into your consciousness with awareness. For example, say, “I am beautiful”. And watch the negativity melt away as you stay firm in your intention to know the truth rather than the negative banter in your head.
- Ask for help. So many people have been told that it is important to do it alone. Well, that simply is not the truth. While I am not advocating becoming overly attached with boundary issues, I am suggesting that when you do feel limited, to explore outside the box. This is done by asking for guidance or having someone else lead you into a more wide spiritual realm of seeing things. We are not meant to be alone.
The Truth of Your Soul is that you are love. When all illusion is dropped, we will all hold hands as individuals living in harmony, but also being in peace simply because we know we are all part of the Creative Process of Being One in Unity.
The World of Duality is a challenging way to live. But by exploring life with openness and curiosity, one is able to raise the consciousness of darkness and expand all of life into the Light.

I like to keep on top of the research having to do with pain.
After all, my work is geared toward helping people to release their pain and find themselves standing happily on the other side.
What is the process to allowing the pain to melt?
My experience has often told me that in order for the energy of an injury to let go, that in the healing process, the senses will bring awareness to the area of dysfunction. In many cases, people don’t even know that the pain is stored away in the deep cellular tissue there until it is touched and penetrated. They’ll say, “oh- I didn’t know that I hurt there.” Believe it or not, by bringing awareness to old pain, it is usually is much easier to let go than you would imagine. Why? Because the pain is often “soft”. When you are willing to gently move into the soft pain, there is usually physical and sometimes emotional release.
activating the messages of pleasure in the brain.
So when I ran into this article, I decided to share it. I believe in feeling deeply to find one’s pleasure.
Let me know what you think about this! Read the Link below:
If we could stop avoiding what is present, we might find that life is much easier than we ever imagined, don’t you think?
Warmly,

SomatoEmotional Release is based on the concept that the whole body and everything within down to the cellular level has both independent and integrated consciousness. Dr. John Upledger developed this therapeutic system of Craniosacral Therapy to support clients to release obstructive emotional energies from the unconscious mind to the conscious through listening and body dialoguing. The true benefit of this work is that is is designed to release your body of the residual effects of previous injuries and difficult experiences, leaving you feeling more healthy, vital and alive.
As a licensed Massage Therapist and Bodyworker for over 17 years, I have observed more than a few clients who have benefited from SomatoEmotional Release. These people often come in with pain, or challenges in everyday life, unable to identify the Source for healing. As the Craniosacral Sessions begins, what often happens with SER is that an old emotional energy begins to arise to be felt and processed. Feelings of sadness, fear or such will move and images or sensations may be awakened. Things that were stuck or internalized reach for the light so to speak to be felt, witnessed and observed for release. SomatoEmotional Release is facilitated by therapists trained in touch to tune into what your Inner Physician would like to do to help you move through into a clearer mind body spirit connection. On a physical level, the therapist will feel the tissues begin to relax and expand. The stress of the memory dissolves and a new outlook perhaps without words can be experienced.
Are you feeling Stuck?
It’s important to know: While we are not licensed psychotherapists, Upledger therapists are trained to support the client’s own process to unfold without interference. In a session, we often witness traumas ranging from pent up angry feelings from a divorce to cases of rape and PTSD in soldiers. As the body begins to release this old energy, clients find more insight into their life dynamics, metabolize their feelings easier and can make healthier choices on how to move forward in their lives. SER work can feel very freeing, integrating and joyful.

Lower Back Dysfunction can cause back pain and suffering.
How many things have you tried to find resolution to your pain?
Relieve Pain Symptoms
If you really want to feel better, it’s important to look long-term and holistically. I know that people want to find a quick fix- but that usually is not the best approach to healing. I also know it is easier for most people to go to the doctor and only get prescriptions to relieve pain- but maybe there is a better way that will truly address your real issue.
Engaging in an integrative program will help you to get to the core of the problem to restore better health and function.
Is your life worth feeling well?
Let’s begin with the obvious. Pain is the body’s way of saying, “something is wrong and I am out of balance.”
In particular, when the back is hurting- most likely there is some type of lesion interrupting the flow needed to nourish and support the spine and all the related organs in that area. When the tissues lose their nutrients, the connective tissue tends to dry out and get lumpy or adhered. The spinal cord which is composed of the vertebral bodies and paired sensory and motor nerves that are associated can become hyper-sensitive, hypertrophic, and hyper-irritable. Voila- a triggered nervous system igniting the sympathetic system with constant bombardment.
So what does this mean for you?
If you want to to find not only long term relief from back pain, but want to take it a step further to truly moving easier and feeling more vital and alive, it takes a commitment to make changes in your life. Speak to your doctor and come up with an all encompassing health plan. This means exercise, diet and finding a healing team to support you. Working with the fascia and the nervous system is one of the best things you can do to yourself to reverse misalignment issues. By engaging in a 10 series of Structural Integration with Craniosacral Therapy, you can optimize your posture and dis-impact/decompress bones that are causing dysfunctions. Normalizing and releasing adhesions and lesion patterns will bring back your line and feelings of relaxation. As the connective tissue softens and hydrates, you will find yourself feeling more space and opening throughout your whole body.
We all want to feel our best. The challenge is whether you want to stand behind the choice of wellness. In most cases, unless there has been a recent accident, it takes years for pain to become unbearable. Give yourself some time and the care you need to turn things around. Miracles can happen, but be in the process of healing and the wisdom of your body will show you the way.
