Fibromyalgia is a complex condition involving a host of contributing factors and effects, but one of the most important is undiagnosed and poorly treated “muscular” pain including the trigger points discussed in a previous info pack . This is something we can certainly help with using vibration massage.
We summarise this in the video below and have a full info including the “how to” in our guide How to massage fibromyalgia . However, as quick summary fibromyalgia is a sensitisation of your nervous system, and like most sensitisations it is caused by prolonged or repeated expose to something. While this can be from a host of things including emotional stress, medical conditions and arthritic pain scientists have found that the biggest by far is pain from undiagnosed or poorly treated trigger points.
The take home messages from this are:
- Properly treating trigger points would prevent a lot of the sensitisation in the first place. For info on treating trigger points please see our Trigger point therapy guide.
- Scientists have found that when pain from the trigger points is stopped symptoms from fibromyalgia will settle down, and recommend that trigger points be the first thing considered.
