If you are looking for an alternative therapy to assist with chronic fatigue syndrome and its wide variety of symptoms, massage therapy is an excellent tool for anyone to try. Many patients turn to massage therapy to help alleviate the symptoms they are experiencing, and it’s a very effective treatment for the condition. Individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome can experience long periods of extreme fatigue, and it can come about for seemingly no reason. Massage is a great therapy option to use on top of your current medical regime and can provide relief from common symptoms such as insomnia, headaches, and muscle and joint pain.
In the US, it’s believed that one million people are currently suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. While there is no cure for the condition, it can certainly be assisted with treatments such as massage. Massage works to minimize anxiety and improve sleep patterns, which are common issues that go alongside the condition. If you have been struggling to exercise regularly while suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, it can also help to improve your circulation. Many individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome find they have very sore muscles and joints, and massage can work to target any areas of discomfort you are currently experiencing.
Deep tissue massage can be particularly effective for chronic fatigue syndrome, as it works into the muscle tissue, which is located a few layers underneath your skin’s surface. While it uses increased pressure, the movements aren’t too fast, so you’ll find it improves your circulation and reduces severe pain you may be experiencing.
While most individuals are very aware of the physical benefits of massage, people often overlook the mental health and wellbeing benefits you may experience. Here at A Mindful Root, we work to create a relaxing environment for all of our clients and will offer you 60 or 90 minutes of peace and quiet to relax and escape your everyday life. If you’ve had chronic fatigue syndrome for an extended period of time, you may find this to be one of the best tools to calm your nervous system and relax your mind. Stress can increase the severity of the condition, so it’s something you want to try and alleviate from your life to the best of your ability.
Swedish massage is another good option for anyone with chronic fatigue syndrome, especially if it’s your first time experiencing a massage after being diagnosed with the condition. We particularly recommend this option for its relaxation benefits and for anyone struggling with all-over body aches and pain. Many individuals find deep tissue massage to be quite painful, so if it’s your first treatment or you are particularly sensitive to massage, we can use either Swedish massage or a combination treatment to suit your needs.
At A Mindful Root, we understand how debilitating chronic fatigue syndrome can be, and so we hope to play a part in alleviating your pain and reducing your stress. We’ll work with you to understand your needs before the session, so your treatment can be tailored to your current pain and energy levels.
