Living with fibromyalgia means living with widespread, constant discomfort. The muscle tenderness, fatigue, and nerve sensitivity that come with this condition can be hard to manage. For many in Warren, Michigan and surrounding cities like Sterling Heights, Madison Heights, Roseville, and Eastpointe, massage therapy offers a natural, drug-free solution that brings real relief.
What Is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition known for causing widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas. It can also lead to sleep disturbances, memory issues, and mood changes. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but researchers believe it involves how the brain and spinal cord process pain signals.
How Massage Therapy Helps with Fibromyalgia
Massage therapy is more than just a relaxing spa treatment. When performed by a trained medical massage therapist, it can help reduce pain, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension — all of which can benefit people with fibromyalgia.
Benefits of Massage for Fibromyalgia Patients
- Reduced muscle stiffness: Regular massage loosens up tight muscles and joints.
- Better sleep: Clients often report improved sleep after sessions.
- Less anxiety and depression: Physical touch stimulates the release of endorphins.
- Improved range of motion: Gentle pressure and stretching help improve flexibility.
- Lower stress levels: Massage promotes a sense of calm, which is crucial for managing fibromyalgia flares.
Types of Massage That Work Best
At Spinal Recovery Center in Warren, Michigan, our licensed therapists use several techniques tailored to fibromyalgia patients:
1. Myofascial Release
Targets the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds muscles. It’s especially effective for relieving tension and reducing pain sensitivity.
2. Swedish Massage
Uses long, flowing strokes with light-to-moderate pressure. It boosts circulation and promotes overall relaxation.
3. Trigger Point Therapy
Focuses on specific tender points in muscles that can cause referred pain throughout the body.
4. Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle massage to help reduce swelling and detox the body — especially helpful for those experiencing fibromyalgia-related inflammation.
