Arthritis, Sciatica, and Mobility Support

Seniors, Arthritis, and Mobility Support

Who's a Good Fit For this Work

Older adults and people with arthritis, age-related changes, or sciatica who want gentler, adapted work to keep moving — not a promise to fix everything overnight.

Who's Not a Good Fit

Anyone expecting aggressive, painful work or the instant reversal of long-term structural changes.

Understanding What You're Experiencing

Arthritis, age-related changes, and sciatica have a way of quietly renegotiating what your day looks like — which shoes you can tie, whether the stairs are worth it, how far you're willing to walk before you start planning the return trip. For some people, it's creaky, grinding joints that protest every step. For others, it's a sharp electric line down the leg, or a deep hip ache that makes sitting and standing feel like a project.

How We Approach It

We use gentle to moderate pressure around sore joints, supportive bolstering, slow positional changes, and focused work for hips, low back, and legs. We take extra care with how we transition you on and off the table.

What to Discuss With Your Therapist

Tell your LMT what your joints and legs feel like today, which activities you most want to keep doing, and what a good outcome looks like for you. Knowing your history with arthritis, medications, and fall risk helps us adapt appropriately.

Between-Session Considerations

Consistency tends to matter more than intensity for this kind of work. Frequent, gentler sessions often do more than occasional deep ones. We're happy to help you figure out a realistic schedule.
