If the massage therapist has the right training it helps a lot. Ive had excellent results and bad results. The cost is the problem.

I always feel better after even if I may feel a little sore the next day. And the relaxation and break from the pain is wonderful for me personally.

I love getting a massage, because of the NF and the Fibro it is better than medication and I have noticed with my Bi Polar that after I have one I am calmer and not as hyper.

Relieves pressure that the tumors put on the nerves and my back in general. It is the best thing in the world.

was very terrible at first. but necessary with tight overused muscles to feel revived and not weighted down. Highly recommend it as well as heating pads on shoulders or hot foot bath with aromatherapy scents

Massage feels like I'm being nurtured in a way I need. It's painful at times and I still have a long way to go but I'm sure some of my pain is stored in my muscles and if I could afford to go to massage regularly, it would help to release those emotions from my neck and back. There is one particular spot that when is touched, makes me feel intense fear and anxiety. I want to release that.
