A recent study showed hyper nerve endings under the skin of people with fibromyalgia – the first “objective” sign that people with fibro are not just whining about their pain.
Several times she has tried to comply with strengthening programs only to have her head and neck pain increase – and her disability from fibro go wild. When she complained of increasing problems, her complaints are dismissed.
Figuring that the definition of insanity was proving true – Crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result – she decided to do her own research.
She stumbled across some articles about trigger points and fibro and decided to try massage. I’m happy to say she is feeling much better.
Reminding us all that it never hurts a massage therapist to believe people when they report symptoms, nor does it hurt to use our skills to relieve those symptoms. It is our strength.
Massage is very good technique to get instant relaxation. I take massage at every weekend.

Excellent advice – my husband travels a lot for work, I am going to recommend that he see a massage therapist!
As both a massage therapist and a fibro sufferer, I can only thank you for putting out there what some of us already know. Massage helps so much.
During the massage session, report any discomfort, whether it’s from the massage or due to any problems or distractions related to the environment, e.g., room temperature, music volume, lighting, etc.
