FMSSAS eNews 11.11.05


Hello everyone
My op will not be as soon as I had hoped.  I have been given 7th December for surgery.  However, I am on a reserve list in case of a cancellation.  So it looks like I’ll be around for a bit longer.

Fibromyalgia Massage Treatment and the Benefits
Are the aches and pains of fibromyalgia getting you down? If so, then massage therapy might be just what you need to help put some spring back into your step. Recently, massage therapy has become extremely popular among fibromyalgia patients. It works to reduce pain, eliminate stiffness, and helps you to relax and take some time out for yourself. If you are interested in massage, this article will outline the treatment’s basic principles and how it can benefit your fibromyalgia symptoms.

Kevin Goldsmith Sports Massage & Soft Tissue Manipulation Therapist
I practice deep tissue manipulation, Myofascial Release (MFR) as well as less deep techniques as the techniques I am able to use will depend on each individual client.

It is always useful to add new tools to your chronic pain management program. “Music therapy” is easy to add. Laboratory research has demonstrated that music helps people to tolerate pain, increases perceptions of control, and reduces anxiety as compared to a visual distraction or a no music condition. Further, greater familiarity with the music strengthened its beneficial effects. So more frequent listening to favorite music may be more therapeutic.
