Fibromyalgia

This type of massage combines kneading, gliding, and friction, all of which promote fresh blood to reach the areas of the body that have been deprived of nutrients and oxygen through the blood and circulatory system.

Trigger points are painful spots located in muscle fibers, and people with fibromyalgia generally have more of them than people without fibromyalgia. Trigger point therapy involves releasing or softening a muscle knot (trigger point) to reduce (or eliminate) the knot.

This technique involves the therapist applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue to eliminate pain and restore motion. It helps eliminate fibromyalgia pain and restoration of motion by elongating muscle fibers.

This involves an external force on a limb to move it to produce a stretch. People with fibromyalgia often have very stiff joints because of the constant muscle spasms associated with fibromyalgia.
