The video above was created by a sufferer to convey just how complex and depressing the condition can be.
When a fibromyalgia client first visits you for treatment, it is vital to show empathy and understanding. This is due to the likelyhood she will have had an extreamly long and difficult journey in obtaining a diagnosis,http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21765861 The double wammy, aggresive invisable pain, and not being believed by familly or medical profession because on the outside these clients look to be in ok health. In these cases support group information will be of help. =
Chronic Pain - Is it All in Their Head? - Daniel J. Clauw M.D. The video below is a presentation by Andrew Gross MD head of Rheumatology clinic at the University of California. Massage Therapy gets very little mention in his presentation and exemplifies that MT is still struggling to get proper recognition for the help we can offer the fibromyalgia sufferer. The video does offer good insight into the possible causes and changes in the central nervous system which is well worth understanding.

Hi Jeffrey.
In my opinion specifically designed massage therapy protocols is the most powerful /effective methodology for management of fibromyalgia syndrome. Having said it, when pain sensation will be controlled on level not higher than number two on subjective scales pain from 0-10, it is important to incorporate gentle rehabilitative exercise, movements . Often it is beneficial when clinical psychologist involved in treatment.
Minerals consumption is must to support progress . The greatest news is ,and I am talking from experience treating hundreds of fibromyalgia patients, we can do huge different in life of these patients.
Best wishes.
Boris
