At The Miracle of Massage, Fix What’s Really Broken is more than a tagline — it’s the foundation of everything I do.

I learned this mindset during my years as a diesel mechanic and millwright, where every breakdown had a root cause. If you don’t fix the real problem, the same failure will happen again.

This approach is also fueled by Simon Sinek’s “Start With Why” principle. My why is clear: to help people get their lives back by identifying and repairing the true mechanical cause of their pain — not just the symptom.

His Story: Sciatica Stole His Moment

I’ll call him David.

David had been looking forward to his daughter’s college graduation for years. But in the weeks leading up to it, a deep, burning pain shot from his lower back down into his left leg every time he stood up. Sitting was no better — after 15 minutes, the pain would pulse down to his calf and sometimes his foot went numb.

The doctor called it sciatica and prescribed painkillers and stretching. The pills dulled it a bit, but the pain returned the moment they wore off. He was terrified he wouldn’t even be able to sit through the graduation ceremony.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is not a condition itself — it’s a symptom of something pressing or irritating the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body.

Symptoms can include:

Shooting pain from the lower back into the buttock, thigh, and leg

Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot

Weakness in the affected leg

Pain that worsens when sitting or standing for too long

Finding the Real Cause

When David came to me, I approached his body like I would a faulty machine. I checked the “mechanical chain” from his lower back to his feet.

The real issue? His piriformis muscle deep in the buttock was locked tight. That muscle sits directly over the sciatic nerve. On top of that, his gluteal stabilizers were weak, and his lower back muscles were overcompensating. This imbalance was putting constant pressure on the sciatic nerve.

The Fix

Through targeted medical massage therapy, I:

Released the piriformis muscle and surrounding deep hip rotators

Activated his gluteal stabilizers so they could support the pelvis properly

Restored normal movement between the hip and lower back

Within three sessions, David could sit for hours without pain. By the graduation ceremony, he stood proudly for photos — pain-free — and walked his daughter out of the building without limping.

Why This Works

The Fix What’s Really Broken method works because it:

Finds the mechanical root cause of sciatic nerve irritation

Corrects muscle imbalances and tension patterns

Restores normal movement without nerve compression

Just like in mechanics, if a pulley is jammed or a bearing is misaligned, you fix the part that’s failing — not the warning light.
