The video will show you several types of techniques. Two are different methods of what is called neuromuscular reeducation. What that means is that they are processes that help your brain and muscles communicate differently than they do now. Right now, your brain is sending signals to the muscles to tighten and hold tension. These two techniques will help you send new signals from the muscle to the brain that will allow the brain to send chemicals back to the muscles to break the pattern of tension. One of the techniques is passive, meaning that you reposition the muscles and relax in the new position. The other technique is active, meaning that you gently contract and use the muscles to stimulate the brain chemicals. The passive technique is excellent for patients that are having a great deal of pain, and the active technique is preferred for patients that have a bit less pain and want to combine gentle exercises with the stimulation of brain chemicals to reduce the pain long term. But that is just the beginning. In addition to the two methods of neuromuscular reeducation, the video also teaches you techniques to relieve TMJ (jaw pain) and PMS symptoms, both common ailments associated with fibromyalgia. You will learn gentle stretching exercises that are helpful for fibromyalgia, and lymphatic stimulation to improve your body’s immune system and the removal of toxins from your bloodstream. You will also learn relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises, progressive relaxation, tepid baths, and aromatherapy. To order, CLICK HERE

The optional manual that can accompany the video expands on the information in the video, in that it covers more in-depth the diagnosis, symptoms, treatment theories for FMS (fibromyalgia syndrome), and benefits of massage for FMS patients. It also briefly addresses body mapping, which is not on the video, and has the forms for both the client and therapist to chart the client's areas of pain. It then has in written form a description of what is shown on the video, so you can freshen your memory on a technique without having to try to find it on the video. It also covers suggestions for marketing and sales, which are not on the video, and resources such as national FMS foundations. To order, CLICK HERE
