I have a number of clients who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and all present different symptom. Two articles in Massage & Bodywork offer insight into approaches to mitigate the effects of fibromyalgia. As explained in one article the person with fibromyalgia can help the massage therapist by letting the massage therapist know what works best for her/him.
It is my job as a massage therapist to observe and to listen. A person may arrive who appears to have low energy being demonstrated by tone of voice and/or posture. Fibromyalgia clients benefit from different approaches. A brief discussion of the expected outcome of that day's session will direct the coarse of the session.
It is always rewarding to see that person appear after the massage session looking so much better!
