What are the names of the massages that the massage therapist do to you?
There are so many different types of massage. The most basic type of massage is a Swedish massage. Swedish massage is a light pressure relaxation massage using wide, flat strokes. This will help with stress, circulation, blood pressure and immune response. Deep Tissue massage works out those pesky knots and tight spots in muscles with deeper pressure. This can sometimes be uncomfortable, but should not be painful and you should make sure your therapist knows if you are in pain. Ashiatsu massage is massage done with the feet and goes a step beyond deep tissue massage. Aromatherapy massage is a Swedish massage that is done with scented oils. Sports massage is done on athletes to keep them in top shape for their sporting events. This is just a very small sample of the most common types of massage.

What common questions should you ask a massage therapist about fibromyalgia?
Before you see any massage therapist you should ask them if they are familiar with Fibromyalgia and how it impacts the body. They should be aware of the general tender points and trigger points. If you do not feel comfortable with their level of knowledge, you should seek a different therapist. You should ask your massage therapist what type of massage they feel will best benefit you, and how often you should return for best results. It is just as important to make them aware of how Fibromyalgia impacts you personally, since each patient is affected differently. Be sure to point out to them areas that are currently bothering you or that you prefer they avoid. It is also important that they are aware of any medications that you are on. It is important to keep an open dialogue during your massage. You should speak up if lying in a specific position is causing pain, or if they are applying too much pressure. Remember, a massage should not increase your pain. Also, remember to drink lots of water after a massage. Often, massage will allow the release of toxins, and increase lymphatic drainage, drinking water will help cleanse your tissues and provide a better result.
