There are many forms of massage. There is Swedish massage, the gentle flowing massage. There is deep tissue massage. At First Choice, we use a combination of deep tissue and trigger point therapy. With this form of massage, the patient is completely clothed. The therapist works on the specfic points that are in the musculo-skeletal system that are keeping you tight and "locked up".
Many Fibromyalgia patients have found that regular massage throws them into a "Fibro Flair!". Dr. Weir spends time instructing the therapists how to work on FMS patients without making them feel like they got worked over by King Kong! You will find that when the massage is combined with the chiropractic, physiotherapy and medical care, the effect is synergistic.
