Fibromyalgia syndrome, or fibro, is one of the most common, most difficult, most complex, and least understood health-related conditions ever seen.
Learn more in Ruth Werner’s new article, “Working With Invisible Pain—The Sustainable Practices MTs Can Use to Help Clients with Fibromyalgia,” in the November/December issue of Massage & Bodywork magazine.
Key Points:
• Fibromyalgia pain—invisible, private, and completely reliable— becomes, in a fully human but dysfunctional way, a defining feature of that individual’s personality.
• No two people with fibro can be treated the same way, but they all want to feel safe, reduce their stress, and be respected.
• Clients with fibro deserve our appreciation and respect, even though they might present some special challenges for bodywork practitioners.
