We can help relieve pain due to Fibromyalgia
The characteristic of fibromyalgia pain is different than the pain you may experience from a headache or sprained ankle. That's because fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic widespread pain and tenderness. Your doctors routinely check 18 Points - tender points on the body when it comes to diagnosing fibromyalgia. These 18 points (9 pairs) tend to be painful when pressed (around joints, but not in the joints themselves) and may spread pain to other body parts.

Fibromyalgia symptoms are best treated using a multidisciplinary approach. Due to the sensitivity of soft-tissue, more and more fibromyalgia clients are seeing an improvement of their symptoms with the integration of customized Medical Massage and or more gentle Manual Lymph Drainage (Vodder Technique) therapy CMLDT. Deep work or aggressive overstretching is usually contraindicated for Fibromyalgia Syndrome. Depending on your specific needs, your therapist at Wake Medical Massage will customize your session with a combination of one or more treatment techniques.

Paraesthesia One of the symptoms of fibromyalgia is paresthesia. Fibromyalgia patients describe this condition as a prickling, tingling, burning, and/or a numbing sensation. These sensations are often accompanied with pain in different parts of the body, including the fingers, toes, hands, and feet.

Research suggests that while many kinds of massage improve fibromyalgia symptoms, lighter and gentler work such as Certified Manual Lymph Drainage (Vodder Technique) is more effective than deeper, more aggressive types of bodywork, especially if you are new to massage

Sensitivity to touch consideration
Sensitivity to touch varies greatly for fibromyalgia patients. Some people respond well with deeper soft tissue manipulation, while others are sensitive to the lightest pressure. During the treatment session, you must establish good communication with your massage therapist - explain what feels comfortable to you and what doesn't. When you're in an acute flare-up, the bodywork is limited to more gentle techniques.

Did you know... The National Fibromyalgia Association estimates that fibromyalgia affects about 10 million people in the United States and about 3-6% of the world population. While it is most common in women, about 75 to 90 percent of the people who have fibromyalgia are women. The cause of fibromyalgia is not known but it can be effectively treated and managed with a customized Medical Massage and or Manual Lymph Drainage (Vodder Technique) therapy - CMLDT.
