Using Massage for Pain Relief

Dear Krissy,
I have Fibromyalgia and have been told by many people that massage can help. What is your opinion?

Alyssa, Bonita Springs

Massage can provide beneficial results for those suffering from the pain and discomfort caused by Fibromyalgia. For example, many of our clients who suffer from this condition experience trouble sleeping and massage helps to relax them enough to get a good night's sleep, along with easing their pain and discomfort. There are many different massages that could help, and the choices are really based on an individual basis. I hope you find the relief you're looking for. Best wishes.

Sleepless in Fort Myers Beach

Dear Krissy,
I have been having trouble sleeping at night. Do you think a massage might help?

Sleepless in Fort Myers Beach

Dear Sleepless,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem. There are many reasons that someone might have difficulty sleeping, and massage may certainly help, depending on the reason. First, it will be important for you to determine exactly why you're experiencing trouble sleeping at night. Could it be due to stress, muscle discomfort, or could it be something more serious? Many of our clients that come in on a regular basis use their massage time as a way of catching some zzzz's. A combination of a relaxing atmosphere and the aid of massage can give people the stress relief that they need to shut their mind down and relax. Other people who cannot sleep because of pain or discomfort can benefit from a more therapeutic massage to rid them of that problem so they can get a better night's rest. If you think that your problem might be more severe than what I've mentioned, please consider consulting your family physician.
