Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Description: FMS is a chronic, body-wide pain disorder coupled with other symptoms, including severe daytime fatigue, disturbed or restless sleep, chronic headache, irritable bowel, joint stiffness, cognitive or memory impairments, reduced coordination, decreased physical endurance and many more.

Massage Therapy: Survey after survey has shown that people who suffer from Fibromyalgia prefer Massage Therapy over other therapies in treating their symptoms. When combined with proper medication and and an understanding physician, massage therapy is an excellent means of achieving normalcy.

Hypnosis: Many people need help in accomplishing the self help steps and hypnosis can help to boost motivation to complete these steps. It can also help with memory and pain issues. And, like meditation, self-hypnosis can help one to relax and find the rest and sleep you need to battle the symptoms of FMS.
