Usually, after the first 30 massage therapy procedures and continued exercise, FM symptoms (such as pain all over the body, sleeplessness, tension headaches, chronic fatigue) become much less severe. Even though you may think that you feel better, you must still continue to receive massage and Integrative Bodywork treatments and maintain your exercise program. After a three-week break from massage therapy, you must return to at least one massage therapy procedure every week and, of course, still continue to exercise at least four times a week and continue with Integrative Relaxation. This is the only way to prevent re-accumulation of tension in muscles.

Because Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition, one must remember that the first three to four treatments can possibly aggravate the condition. For an unclear reason, only 10 percent of FM clients react with aggravation of pain. In any case, Jennifer believes you should be informed of the possibility of reaction. The reason for this aggravation of pain is the intense stimulation of oxygen supply to the “hungry” cells and the excessive release of toxic waste products from the tissues into the circulatory system. Usually, however, during the first 10 to 15 correct massage therapy treatments, you can, in fact, notice clear, significant positive changes. One must keep in mind, however, that the healing process requires time.

Massage for Fibromyalgia is now covered by most insurance companies. For more information, feel free to contact Jennifer.
