How to Continue Feeling Your Best with Fibromyalgia Symptoms.

Were you diagnosed with Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia pain is not a simple diagnosis. It can reveal itself in different ways based on the uniqueness of each individual person. What we do know is that fibromyalgia does feel like heightened pain. It can show up anywhere on the body. However, normally a physician can diagnose by pressing on certain tender points. There are nine familiar locations found from the top of the body on down.

Flares can be brought upon by stress, hormonal changes and lack of sleep. Some people say weather changes can attribute to more pain as well. Whatever the cause, people with fibromyalgia suffer from body aches and fatigue.

Once you are diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, what is next?

What is now understood is that the central nervous system (CSN) has beeen overstimulated. Of course anything that calms the CNS is helpful. Check with your physician for any recommendations they suggest. Of course, there are also integrative practices that can be helpful too.

1. Yoga

2. Tai Chi and Qigong

3. Very Gentle Stretching

4. Walking

5. Meditation

Also, I’d be remiss if I did not bring up Craniosacral Therapy as a promising modality to help with fibromyagia. The Upledger Institute has taught many therapists who work across the world to work with clients through soft and gentle listening and melding with the Craniosacral System. Often my clients enjoy this manual therapy over massage because they don’t feel pain with the touch, nor do they feel sore afterwards. Their brains feel calmer and their bodies relax.

If you’d like to find out more about how Craniosacral Therapy can help you, check out the Upledger website. Find a Craniosacral Therapist, call and interview each practitioner until it feels like the best fit for you. Let me know on my blog how it goes, because I like to hear how CST can help!

Chronic Pain: A Treatment Which Could Change Your Life

Are You Suffering from Chronic Pain?

Chronic Pain is a persistent state When pain lasts longer than 3 months it’s considered chronic pain.

Chronic Pain shows up in the body in people dealing with; arthritis, cancer & its’ treatments, headaches & migraines, nerve damage, lyme desease, people surviving traumas, and fibroymalgia. The list goes on.

I had had clients go to their doctors and the best thing that is offered are medications. While medication has it’s place and can be helpful, there is also an integrative approach that can be more holistic. Looking at the whole person is key to helping people deal with chronic pain on a daily basis. Having a healing team to support is vital.

As a Craniosacral Therapist, what we offer is a “Listening” to the Body’s Craniosacral System. There are rhtyms and pulses that we feel. Our hands are directed toward toward the key essence places in the essence of your nervous system. To me, it feels like everyone has a deep well of resource inside that knows how to get the body feeling better. All it needs is a nudge. The body knows what to do next.

My job as a Craniosacral Therapist is to support and help your own healing abilities to bring about self-correction and self-healing. Your body on some level has chosen to go awry. And it also needs to learn to return back to health the best it can in order for you to feel better in your body.

When the internal environment of your body is functioning better through manual work, if opens a window. But also we must look at other things like life style, nutrition and the external environment in which you live too. How is your mental state? Because often people feeling chornic pain are anxious and live in depression.

I really wished we had a health care system that looked at the whole person. We deserve a better model to really see us and acknowledge our pain. But even more importantly, we need a team of people to help us to optimize our own inner resources to turn things around. Begin where you can.

I will say, as being one part of the cogency, that I do see improvement in people who come to see me quite reqularly. With the somatoemotional support they are experiencing their connection to the whole more fully. They can feel this mentally, emotioanlly and also physically.

While Chronic Pain is a continuing set of symptoms. Craniosacral Therapy can enhance a person’s wellbeing. Get support. It can change your life!

Craniosacral Therapist

A bit about Craniosacral Therapy Worthington…

Craniosacral Therapy is great for most everyone. This work is so gentle and yet profound. The focus is on working with the rhythm of the craniosacral system to look for and release restrictions that negatively impact the Central Nervous System. What I find the best results with are: trauma-releasing emotional blocks, back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines, concussions and basically for decreasing stress. But I also have clients who enjoy experiencing more balance, vitality and overall better health after a few sessions.

I also offer myofascial therapy for structural issues. I have been working with fascia for close to 30 years.

Can Fibromyalgia Symptoms be Relieved?

Can the Fluidity of Myofascial Work Help Alleviate Fibromyalgia Pain?

Fibromyalgia is a condition which involves widespread pain and hypersensitivity with specific tender points in the muscles. This syndrome can stop people from living their daily lives with ease.

Creating a healthy life style is one way to approach improving quality of life. Some positive ways to improve your sense of wellbeing are: healthy sleep routines, exercise, and of course-good eating habits. But can you find someone who can actually help you through your discomfort with hands on manual techniques to decrease or maybe eliminate the pain?

In more recent times, the importance of working with the myofascial and craniosacral systems has come to the forefront for improving many pain issues. Fibromyalgia is one of the conditions where I have seen clients finally find some relief. Whether it is done by a Craniosacral Therapist, a Myofascial Therapist or a Structural Integration Rolfer type of work, fascia is key in finding support. This is because the superficial fascia is highly innervated, and releasing it can balance the Central Nervous system while bringing about a better quality sense of wellness. But because of the tenderness, it is important to ask your therapist to work lightly and to respect your boundaries for what can be tolerated. Gentle work can be profound too without having to dig in and cause more pain.

Fibromyalgia Relief

If you would like to find a healing response to Fibromyalgia, why not find a fascia practitioner in your area and give it a try. I will say from my experience, that my clients often can sleep better and do find relief. The work will help clients to feel more fluid and more open.
