Today, I want to call some attention to those of you who suffer with fibromyalgia and talk about how massage can help with symptom relief.
While fibromyalgia is not an auto-immune disorder, it often goes hand in hand with them; as you are more likely to develop fibromyalgia if you already have an auto-immune disease like lupus or arthritis. Genetics definitely are a factor with this chronic condition that causes pain throughout your body, but it's commonly seen as a result of chronic stress and trauma as well.
This is where massage therapy comes in. As a licensed massage therapist, the extensive training we undergo to learn about the body lends itself to a thorough and personalized treatment plan for your individual needs. Some areas need deep pressure to relieve myofascial pain, and some are very sensitive and require lighter touch. You deserve a massage therapist that understands these nuances, and that's exactly what I focus on with holistic healing.
