Fibromyalgia massage: why gentle myofascial release suits it
Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, fatigue and sensitivity. Many people with fibromyalgia describe their body as tight, heavy and sore to touch. Myofascial release is one of the gentlest hands on approaches, using slow pressure that the nervous system can accept, and it has been studied in several clinical trials for fibromyalgia.
Session
Your session for fibromyalgia
The first session is planned to be gentle. After a full conversation, treatment focuses on breathing and the one or two areas you most want help with, so you can see how your body responds. Later sessions widen the work across the whole body.

Between sessions
Gentle care for fibromyalgia between sessions
Gentle and regular beats hard and occasional. A short daily walk, warm baths and a few minutes of slow breathing with a longer out breath help calm a sensitive system. Pacing your day, with rest planned before you need it, makes flares less likely.
Self release should feel kind: a soft ball under the foot or against the upper back, with light pressure, for a minute at a time.

He explained with videos and proof exactly what was going on in my body. He told me all about fascia. I picked my right hip and thigh. Just after 20 minutes there was no pain and no stiffness.
James taught me so much about my body that I didn't know and explained everything with videos and pictures. The first treatment helped my pain instantly.
