Re: [ozmidwifery] siatic pain

[Julia Willoughby]

Hi Linda I'd suggest she needs to get assessed by a physio, used to dealing with pregnant women, if it's through tight buttock muscles (piriformis) massage to release these muscles can often really help, otherwise it might come from lumbar spine, position of baby, etc.  I've got info on trained pregnancy massage therapists around Sydney area if that helps, but best to get assessed first. Hope she gets some relief!
