Massage can be done for a person of any age, but many therapists and clinics require parental consent on minors and will often require a parent or guardian to be present in the room while the massage is being administered. The therapist working on the young client should be the same sex as the client. Massage has been shown beneficial in infants all the way up to geriatric patients! When scheduling your massage, ask the therapist or front desk associates if they work with the age group you are trying to schedule.

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.
