If your wife feels pain in whole leg from back to toe, then first complete assessment is needed to find out the cause like sciatica or what exactly it is? So consult to the physiotherapist near by without wasting time on massage at home. Although it give relief but as it's temporary so u need permanent solution n that you can get with physiotherapy only
