Fibromyalgia - Fibromyalgia and Massage Therapy

Wednesday, December 5, 2007 - Fibromyalgia and Massage Therapy

About every 6 weeks I go to a nationally certified massage therapist for a full massage. She uses a variety of techniques. I have a lot of pressure points and/or very tender, sore areas. She applies pressure on some areas, uses a technique she calls "unwinding" the muscle knots, stretches my muscles, and uses drainage of the lymph nodes. The therapy is painful, since I have fibromyalgia, but it seems to help loosen things up. If I have a stiff neck and headache, the work she does in that area definitely helps my headache.

I am wondering what results others with fibromyalgia experience if they have massage therapy.
