Fibromyalgia And Massage

There are many forms of alternative treatment for fibromyalgia, and massage therapy is one of them. In fact, fibromyalgia patients rank massage as their number one choice when it comes to alternative treatment. Studies have shown that pain from fibromyalgia decreased by 38 percent after just ten 30 minutes massage sessions. Patients saw a significant improvement in their sleep, depression, anxiety, and stress levels brought about by the disorder.

Hypersensitivity to pain stimuli is one of the most distinguishing manifestations of fibromyalgia. And massage therapy is known to help the central nervous system to produce natural pain blockers like norepinephrine, serotonin, and endorphins. After each massage, patients feel relaxed and rested, and the symptoms of fibromyalgia are known to instantaneously decrease right after each massage session. It's a quicker relief compared to medications according to some patients.

One known benefit of massage therapy to fibromyalgia patients is the increased in blood circulation to the muscles, which aids in their repair and rejuvenation. Well oxygenated muscles are also important to avoid lactic acid build up, which could trigger fibromyalgia. Patients undergoing massage therapy sessions also reported significant improvement in their sleep. They can now reach the deeper levels of sleep, the non-REM sleep, which is needed by the body to perform its natural healing and restoring processes.

However, a medical consult is still the best for patients with fibromyalgia. And massage therapy should only be viewed as an enhancer of the conventional treatment plan prescribed by your physician. It's always best to combine conventional as well as alternative forms of treatment when treating a broad spectrum disorder like fibromyalgia. Moreover, not all forms of massage therapy are advisable to fibromyalgia patients so be sure to consult your physician or your therapist about it.

The common massage therapy for fibromyalgia patients includes Swedish massage, which is the best when it comes to enhancing muscular oxygenation. Deep tissue massage, which is the best to relieve muscular tension and release stiffed muscles. And, the myofascial release, which targets the body's fascial tissues to relieve myofascial pain.

The alternative ways to wellness has a lot to promise patients with fibromyalgia. And massage therapy is only one among these alternative ways that you should try to find a relief from your condition.
