Massage of sensitive areas

Sore Man said:

I drive a lot for work 200+ miles a day. So frankly
speaking my lower back and butt hurt at the end of the
week! I'm a bit shy about asking my MT to give me a

I go about asking her to massage my glutes a bit more? Do
I just say "can you massage me more?" or what? I have a

Before you begin the session, (not after you get into it)
explain to her that you do a lot of driving and need more
work done on your lower back and gluteal area. Probably
your legs need more attention too. I had a walk in client
one day with the same problem - he'd driven 80 miles and
back the same day and wasn't used to the driving. The
lower back, sacral area, glutes and thighs, especially
just above the knees were what was bugging him. As long as
you act appropriately, she shouldn't think that you're
coming on to her.

I agree with Sue. It's not uncommon for glutes to be
massaged, especially when there are low back issues. Act
appropriately and there shouldn't be even a raised eyebrow.

sounds good...but one question to Suzee..what/where is the
Sacral area? and how is it tied into my soreness?

The sacrum is the very lowest part of the back, just above
the tailbone (also known as the coccyx). It's the part where
the `dimples' are, which are the sacro-illiac joints. Many
of the back and gluteal muscles are in that area. They're
all connected...

For lower back problems you should have your lower back,
glutes, hamstrings and your calves massaged. Just one other
thing is hows your posture as this could/will contribute to
your problem.

First, take your wallet out of your back pocket. A lump
under your butt changes the alignment of your pelvis and can
cause a bass-aa-a--ad case of sciatica..

There should be no problem asking the therapist to
massage your sacrum and glutes....should be part of a
massage, anyway.

Do hip stretch exercises, too. Use karate belt or rope as
stirrup and, whily lying on your back, do complete range of
motion with your legs. Use belt to control weight of leg and
to pull toward you and outward. Don't hurt yourself. LK

Look at it this way: If your intentions are honorable, then
parts is parts! My favorite MT does a lot of lateral hip
work skin to skin and does the more medial glute work
through the sheet. If your MT is good, they'll hit the spots
that matter if you tell them where it hurts. Don't forget,
parts is parts.
