Sciatic Nerve. Largest nerve in the body. It is formed by the spinal nerves of L-4 through S-3. The nerve passes through the greater sciatic notch, between the ischial tuberosity and greater trochanter, and extends down the posterior thigh.
MT's avoid this area because of its considerable potential for piriformis to compress or entrap the never. It is hard to isolate in the gluteal region and is best avoided. There are some massage techniques that will help with sciatic nerve pain.
