Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to see Dr. Bahman by recommendation of ChatGPT. I engineered a prompt that was looking for medical massage, focusing on releasing the illiopsoas muscle. I did not want thai massage or passive stretching. I also wanted someone close to where I live in Northpark. Dr. Bahman helped my hips and back out tremendously. Before I came in I was unable to lift my left leg into my truck without help from my hands lifting it in. After my first session I was able to lift my leg into the truck on the way home unassisted, no problem. Im giving thanks for my chatgpt for the recommendation and for Dr. Bahman and his knowledge of the human body. He found other muscles that were involved in my injury, and showed me some stretches to do. Thank you Dr. Bahman.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend! I came in with left-sided sciatica issues and significant tension throughout my left side, especially in my lower back, hip, and glutes. Bahman has an excellent understanding of anatomy and focused on the muscles contributing to my pain by using hot stones to release tension. I left with noticeably less pain, improved mobility, and my left side felt so much better. If you’re dealing with sciatica or chronic muscle tightness, he’s absolutely worth booking.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for a relaxing spa massage, this isn't it—and that's exactly why he's exceptional. This is therapeutic, medical bodywork focused on identifying and correcting the root cause of pain and dysfunction. During our extended stay in Coronado, we made it a priority to spend as much time with him as possible. We both came in with back pain, and at one point I developed such severe neck pain that I was sleeping on the couch. Within just two visits, he had resolved it. His understanding of how the body works is remarkable. He's incredibly intuitive, takes a whole-body approach, and has an uncanny ability to connect symptoms back to the underlying issue. Every session was purposeful and impactful. Knowledgeable, intuitive, and genuinely gifted, he's one of those rare practitioners who feels more like a healer than a massage therapist. If you're dealing with chronic pain, mobility issues, or persistent muscle problems, I can't recommend Global Holistic Solutions highly enough.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had around 7-8 sessions with Bahman so I believe my review to speak from results. What I know Bahman has done is completely different that any other massage or body work I have had before. Bahman uses tissue mobilization on me. This has work well because we focus on areas one at time that have had chronic tightness rather than trying to reset the whole body in one session which isn’t realistic for long term results. His specialty of holistic medicine tied in with body work invites the nervous system to relax during your session. This is important and should be focused on when not working with him. I plan to have atleast 8 more sessions with Bahman for craniosacral pain and other persistent issues. I have goals I am wanting to achieve and Bahman is putting me on the fast track to achieving those goals.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely incredible. I still have yet to find anyone who can match the level of skill, knowledge, and over all professionalism as Bahman. He has single handily fixed shoulder and neck issues with precision techniques that target exactly what’s needed to release tension. I now travel back from the East Coast to see him whenever my schedule will allow it.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience here. From the moment I walked in, everything felt professional, calm, and very well-organized. The practitioner is highly skilled and clearly knows exactly what he’s doing. He took the time to understand my condition and focused on the areas that actually needed attention — not just a routine massage. The results were noticeable even after the first session. What stood out to me was the combination of deep technical knowledge and a very thoughtful, personalized approach. This is not just relaxation — it’s real, effective bodywork aimed at pain relief and long-term improvement. The environment is clean, peaceful, and welcoming. You feel comfortable right away. If you’re dealing with pain, tension, or mobility issues, I strongly recommend this place. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had in San Diego.

Verified I cannot say enough about the healing work Bahman does. From the very first session, it was clear that he brings not only deep knowledge of the body, but also an intuitive, almost spiritual understanding of what each client needs. I've now seen him several times and have experienced significant improvement in both my mobility and overall comfort. Bahman's bodywork goes beyond a traditional massage. It's truly therapeutic and transformative. He has an incredible gift for finding and releasing areas of deep tension that I didn't even realize were affecting me. Each session feels personalized, intentional, and deeply healing. I am so grateful to have found someone as talented and grounded as Bahman. If you're looking for lasting relief, better movement, and a more connected experience with your body, I can't recommend him highly enough.

Verified I came to Bahman for sciatica in my right glute and leg. I have been seeing him for a couple months and although I am not totally pain free, I am getting there. Bahman explains my issue and gives me detailed instructions to help me self-treat my symptoms in tandem with his treatments. His therapy is working!

Verified Bahman has helped my back more than any injections, physical therapy, or acupuncture. I have chronic back pain, and it's such a relief to not be in pain all the time, and rely on pain medication. His massages are reducing the scar tissue in my back, and are helping to relieve my pain. He is a very caring, and knowledgeable person, I can't recommend him enough to someone who is living with pain.

Verified Bahman has been very helpful to me the two months I have been here in Coronado visiting relatives. I am recovering from back surgery and have multiple disc problems. I was getting regular massage back in Colorado and was pleased I could continue with high quality body work here. Bahman is thoughtful to explain what he is thinking and doing. He has set up a comfy Covid-safe sort of out of doors large tent with flaps that hang down for privacy but air is always circulating. He likes to use hot stones initially to soften the muscles. He works hard in his massage, working the length of big muscle groups and doing cross fiber strokes on attachments. I felt better in my body after each session. I won't spoil it by telling you how he ends the massage-- it is lovely. All in all a very therapeutic body work session.

Verified Bahman is a healer. He has the insight and experience to diagnose physical problems and solve them. In my case, I was barely able to walk a couple of blocks and could not ride my bike due to leg pain. After a few sessions with Bahman--working primarily on scar tissue and knee positioning-- I am able to take long walks and ride my bike again and am feeling back to normal. He uses primarily massage therapy, but also other approaches, to return the body to its normal functioning. He is kind, wise, and understanding, and a man of integrity. His charges are quite reasonable and his office comfortable. I give him the highest recommendation.

Verified I am a mom of two young children (infant and 2 year old) and I tweaked my neck terribly. After 3 days of it only getting worse I was desperate and stumbled upon Bahman while frantically googling someone to help my situation. Not only did he heal my neck, he also has been healing my scoliosis. I am hooked and now see him once a week!

Verified Bahman has changed my body for the better in a way a chiropractor and physical therapist could not change for me with my back and my neck. His massages reset my body to the way it is intended to be and feel. I left my first appointment being able to effortlessly hold my shoulders back in correct alignment and posture. Now, after numerous massages with Bahman, in addition to better posture, I have yet to have a muscle tension related headache and I'm able to return to my normal workout routine without my back and neck pain holding me back. I highly recommend Bahman to anyone that has any bodily ailments. He's passionate about helping the body feel better.

Verified Bahman is an outstanding therapist. I've had a number of back surgeries and have a lot of pain and muscle spasms. I've seen countless massage therapists in the Northern California and Southern California through the years and there's no question Bahman is among the very best. He does great deep tissue work and has a knack of getting to all the hot spots. I always walk out of his office feeling so much better. I've referred several friends to Bahman and they've absolutely loved his work. There's no question he rates five stars! Amazing.

COMMON SYMPTOMS
What Does Sciatica Feel Like?
Symptoms depend on which tissues and areas surrounding the sciatic nerve are irritated. They may range from mild and occasional to uncomfortable enough to interfere with everyday activity.
Sitting for extended periods, driving, bending, lifting or certain exercises may aggravate symptoms for some people.
Common Signs of Sciatic Irritation
- Pain in the lower back, buttock or rear of the leg
- Burning or tingling traveling down the leg
- Pain that becomes worse after prolonged sitting
- Tightness around the hip or glute
- Shooting discomfort when standing or changing position
- Reduced comfort while walking, bending or exercising
- Numbness or weakness in some cases
WHY SCIATICA HAPPENS
What Can Contribute to Sciatic Pain?
Sciatic symptoms can have different causes. That’s why identifying the pattern behind your discomfort is important before determining the appropriate approach.
01
Lower-Back Tension
Tight or overworked muscles surrounding the lumbar spine can contribute to restricted movement and discomfort.
02
Piriformis & Glute Tension
Excessive tension around the deep hip and gluteal muscles may contribute to symptoms that resemble or aggravate sciatic pain.
03
Repetitive Stress
Sitting, driving, work activities, exercise and repetitive movement can overload the lower back and hips over time.
04
Injury
Sports, work and auto-related injuries can create protective muscular tension or movement compensation around the back, pelvis and hips.
05
Postural Imbalance
Uneven movement or prolonged postures may repeatedly overload certain muscles while other areas compensate.
06
Spinal Conditions
Herniated discs, degenerative changes or spinal stenosis may also irritate nerve roots and require appropriate medical evaluation.
PERSONALIZED PAIN RELIEF
How Manual Therapy Can Help Sciatica
When muscular tension, soft-tissue restrictions or movement patterns contribute to sciatic symptoms, targeted manual therapy may help reduce tension and restore more comfortable movement.
Release Lower-Back Tension
Medical massage and neuromuscular techniques can help relax overworked muscles surrounding the lower back and pelvis.
Address Piriformis & Glutes
Focused work around the hips, glutes and piriformis can reduce muscular tension that may contribute to leg discomfort.
Reduce Trigger Points
Trigger point therapy targets concentrated areas of muscular tension that can create local or referred discomfort.
Improve Fascial Mobility
Myofascial techniques can help improve tissue mobility throughout the lower back, pelvis and hips.
Restore Comfortable Movement
Reducing soft-tissue restrictions may help improve bending, rotation, walking and other everyday movements.
Address the Larger Pattern
Instead of focusing only where you feel pain, Bahman considers how the lower back, hips, pelvis and surrounding muscles work together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sciatica Pain Treatment FAQs
- Can massage therapy help sciatica?
Manual and massage therapy may help when muscular tension, trigger points or soft-tissue restrictions around the lower back, hips or glutes contribute to sciatic symptoms. Treatment should always be adapted to the cause and severity of your symptoms.
- What areas are treated for sciatica?
Depending on your symptoms, treatment may involve the lower back, hips, glutes, piriformis and surrounding musculature rather than focusing only on the area where the pain is felt.
- Is deep tissue massage good for sciatica?
Deep tissue work may be appropriate when persistent muscular tension contributes to symptoms, but deeper pressure is not appropriate for everyone. Bahman adjusts pressure and technique based on your condition and comfort level.
- How many sessions will I need for sciatica?
The number of sessions varies depending on how long the symptoms have been present, their cause and the amount of muscular or movement restriction involved. Your treatment plan is individualized.
- Can sciatica cause pain all the way down the leg?
Yes. Sciatic symptoms may travel from the lower back or buttock through the thigh and lower leg and, in some cases, toward the foot or toes.
- When should I see a doctor instead of a massage therapist?
Seek medical evaluation for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, significant weakness, loss of sensation, symptoms following major trauma, or changes in bladder or bowel control. Manual therapy should complement appropriate medical care when an underlying spinal condition is suspected.
- Do you provide sciatica treatment for San Diego clients?
Yes. Global Holistic Solutions is located in Coronado and serves clients from Coronado and throughout the greater San Diego area.
