Fibromyalgia is a condition that is becoming more and more common, usually havening long term pain patterns throughout the body and can even be debilitating. Symptoms include tender points in joints, muscles, tendons and fascia. Fibromyalgia patients can also experience headaches, numbness in the hands and feet, and over all stiff achy muscles. Also can be associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus which have some of the same symptoms.
I have used Myofascial Release techniques to effectively treat fibromyalgia and give temporary relief to many clients who have suffered from it. This is a massage modality that targets the tight connective tissue in the body that surrounds all of our muscles and over lays large muscle groups. Recently I had a client that has had fibromyalgia for 20 years and is in constant pain. Getting a good night sleep is extremely rare for her because her condition is that bad.
A testimonial from her daughter:
"Thank you Tony for fitting my mother into your schedule at the last minute. She was in a lot of pain that day and desperately wanted to try massage as a treatment for her Fibromyalgia. She experienced a world of difference after just one visit with you. She was actually pain free for the first time in years and had the best sleep that night because of the freedom from pain you gave her. I am looking forward to bringing my mother in for more sessions soon. Thanks again."
