Fibromyalgia is relatively common disorder affecting primarily women in the 25-45 year age group. It is frequently a diagnosis of exclusion where the symptoms cannot be attributed to other causes. Normally it has a slow onset, and although non-fatal and non-degenerative, it causes chronic long-term difficulties and may, in rare instances, become debilitating.
This course describes the symptoms and experiences of Fibromyalgia sufferers, and shows how to use bodywork and various supplements to address the most common symptoms. You will learn to evaluate the eighteen tender spots that are the diagnosis for Fibromyalgia, as well as massage sessions for sleep, pain and headaches. This detailed, informative program will give you the tools you need to effectively help those with Fibromyalgia.
