I get a massage once a month. We’ve worked on getting the pressure exactly right so I’m not in horrible pain when we are done. If I’m hurting a lot on a scheduled day, I reschedule. When I go, it helps me for quite a while. The aches are a little less achy.

Just want to say I’ve never had anyone perform MFR on me.

But I do it myself, as Sue took the liberty of sharing above. I can’t remember the context of that post, but some of that is entirely irrelevant to MFR and definitely not a comparison I’m making. 😑🤷‍♀️

The reason I mention that is I’ve had several people on here mention they had bad experiences with a practitioner. As well as others who have had a great experiences!

So, to avoid a painful experience during and afterwards definitely let them know you have FMS and also if you find massages difficult or painful (during or afterwards). Things like that. 💛

True MFR is not a stretch, but it does “stretch” the fascia I suppose. It’s more like a reconditioning and allowing hydration back into those tissues. So hydration before and afterwards will help you results last longer and you get more out of it, as you'll get more into that fascia.

It isn’t like a one and done thing. It needs to be done full body and consistently.
It works best if you do exercises that focus on posture, therefore reinforcing those gains in your fascia, if that makes sense. The two in conjunction, total game changer.

Hope it goes great. Let us know 💛

PT might work on the pressure points??

Call before your appointment and ask if the PT has ever worked with anyone with
fibromyalgia and ask exactly what they plan to do.

There are also forms of massage that are gentle….that they could do in place out this as a plan B.

Post what you find out.
