I understand it may also help with some orthopedic issues I have.

Besides massage therapists Physical Therapists and some Chiropractors with additional training do as well. I get massages every other week, went to a PT for a while but favor my Chiro that combines adjusting and MF release.
@A MyFibroTeam Member - It sounds like a chiropractic adjustment might help with your neck.
Going to get one booked. I get my neck stretched too!
I have Fibromyalgia & Occipital Neuralgia & TMJ. Do these illnesses usually happen together?
