Fibromyalgia                                                                             Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. "Tender points" refers to tenderness that occurs in precise, localized areas, particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. People with fibromyalgia syndrome (fms) may also experience sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and other symptoms. Fatigue is also a common aspect of fibromyalgia. Chronic pain, along with anxiety about the problem and how to get well, can be fatiguing by itself. In addition, the inflammatory process within the body produces chemicals that are known to cause fatigue.

Improve flexibility and motion
Using Myofascial Release to lengthen contracted and stuck connective tissues including those around fibromyalgia's tender points.  Improved flexibility and motion play a big role in reducing pain and fatigue.

Balance Posture and Muscle Tone
Improving posture with Positional Release and Myofascial Release techniques allows tight muscle and connective tissue to normalize.  This is especially important since abnormally tight muscles tend to weaken the muscles which oppose them.

Make sleep more restful
by using appropriate speed and pressure during massage movements that promote relaxation and feelings of well-being.  Sleep can become more sound with fewer interruptions.  Better sleep means better healing.
