If you have fibromyalgia, you may know the frustration of feeling like your entire body is tender, tight, tired, or just...on high alert.
That’s one reason I love the GENTLE approach of myofascial release.
With fibromyalgia, more pressure isn’t necessarily better. MFR uses slow, sustained pressure rather than aggressively forcing or digging into painful areas.
For some people with fibromyalgia, myofascial release may help support:
• Reduced pain and tenderness
• Improved mobility and flexibility
• Less feelings of stiffness
• Relaxation and decreased muscle tension
• Improved quality of life
Research on myofascial release for fibromyalgia is still limited, but some studies have found improvements in pain and other symptoms—which is why I view it as one potential piece of a larger care plan, not a cure.
Most importantly, we work WITH your body and adjust based on how you’re responding that day.
If you’re living with fibromyalgia in the Denham Springs, LA area and looking for a gentle approach to bodywork, let’s talk about whether MFR could be a good addition to your care.
