The Buttocks,
or what I call the "Glutes"

The glutes (gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus) are the largest mass of muscle in the human body.

Gluteal massage is essential for relief of lower back pain. The piriformis, the muscle underlying two layers of gluteal muscle, is generally the culprit that causes sciatic pain.

However, this is a very personal area, and many people feel uncomfortable with gluteal massage. I promise to treat your body with the highest level of respect an professionalism, but if you feel uncomfortable with work in this area, let's discuss your concerns.

I routinely undrape one side of the buttocks while working on that side, still leaving you properly draped at all times. If this makes you uncomfortable, I can work through the drape or skip the glutes entirely and rely on stretches to soothe those muscles.

Please let me know about your comfort level in this area. Please feel free to discuss it when you call 214-395-8000 for your appointment.
