Fibromyalgia: A Massage in Incline Village Can Help

In past posts I've written about how a massage in Incline Village can offer many everyday benefits, including increased relaxation, better sleep patterns, more energy and clearer, quicker mental functions. These improvements to everyday life are fantastic for the average, healthy person. For this post, however, I wanted to discuss how massage therapy has been proven as an effective form of treatment for different health conditions and diseases, particularly fibromyalgia, which is a disease that causes pain and stiffness in the muscles and nerves--and can even lead to depression and memory loss. Fibromyalgia is a difficult disease to manage. It is hard to diagnose, and can be difficult to live with. In this post, I'll discuss a selection of massage therapy techniques proven to help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with fibromyalgia.  First, before we go any further, a quick note: When seeking fibromyalgia relief through massage therapy, it is necessary to first determine whether or not your selected massage therapist is capable and well trained in the massage techniques necessary to alleviate your fibromyalgia symptoms.Myofascial ReleaseMassage therapy, in general, boosts blood and lymph circulation, making it ideal to reduce the stiffness and pain in muscles. This effect, known as oxygenation, has been shown to combat the negative symptoms of fibromyalgia as well as prevent them from occurring in the future.The myofascial release technique alleviates the pull of tissue on muscles and releases tension in the fascia, further alleviating pain and stiffness.

When done correctly, the strokes, pulls and pushes of Swedish massage technique are gentle yet strong enough to help relieve the pain associated with fibromyalgia.
