Massage Tools and Massage Products

The definition of a modality is a physical, therapeutic method of application.  For example, a hot whirlpool (comfortable temperature!) can combine heat and water therapy.  There are chemical and electrical agents that are also very helpful for the muscles.

Heat and massage is a very helpful and popular prescription for fibromyalgia patients.  Heat increases blood flow to the muscles and massage relaxes the muscles.  Remember, you want helpful results, not hurtful.  If you use a pool for water therapy, be sure the temperature of the water is at least 85 degrees F.

 

Remember, with fibromyalgia you don’t want to exhaust your muscles or push yourself as to the “no pain, no gain” perspective.  You need to always stretch and find your comfort zone.  Massage helps stretching the muscle fibers.  There are different kinds of massage.  If you want to see a massotherapist, be sure they are board certified and have worked on people with fibromyalgia.  With fibromyalgia, we usually like a general massage and a focus on troublesome areas.  You need to be comfortable with your massotherapist and always communicate the effects of the massage. Pain in trigger points are also something that you will want to research and speak about with your therapist if you feel you have those symptoms.

 

The massage modalities that are offered on our website help you with your home management of pain from fibromyalgia.  Be gentle, drink enough water to help flush the toxins that are released and keep a diary to see how much they help.  You’ll be amazed by even a 20% decrease in pain can aid in functions.

 

Having these modalities at home assist you in a powerful, helpful way in dealing with your fibromyalgia pain.  We don’t ever want you to feel helpless.  Get armed, be prepared and use these tools to become more masterful in your home program and your day-to-day coping.
