I'm not an authority,I am a massage therapist. Clients with Fibromyalgia seem to respond well to exercising in a pool, and organic food (polutants seem to play a strong part in the condition. My experience, 9 years, is that people with Fibromyalgia seldom seek massage, and do not stay with massage, and 2 clients found massage left them in pain. Clients that respond to massage favorably have stayed with me for years, but this is not the case with clients with fibromyalgia. This is one of the few conditions I've seen that does not seem to respond favorably to massage, but listen to your inner knowing, if you feel it will be right for you try it. If you feel you want to try massage, try a half hour of light massage first to see how you respond to it.
