Re: Rolfing

[Guest guest]

This is very interesting and makes sense. Great analogy. I understand exactly

what you are saying. I guess I idle at about a 6 or about 6000 RPMS. LOL. But

true. That is a great way to put it. I need to have massage but cant afford it

at all. It might be of benefit. I understand that. I do believe this has

something to do with the buildup of toxins. (I think that is part of the

complicated chain of reactions in our bodies with FM).

point trouble:

Trigger point work is valuable when working with Fibromyalgia

patients. Because of the chronicity of the pain, there are often

numerous trigger points.

People who are suffering with FIbromyalgia, are in a constant state

of heightened stimulation. They are in a sympathetic state

(neurologically overstimulated) most of the time. Therefore, their

brains are constantly on the go.

An anology is with cars. A normal car will idle at a fairly low RPM.

This prevents excessive wear and tear on the car, plus allows the car

to be put into gear with minimal stress on the components. A person

with Fibromyalgia has a much higher idle speed. Thus, there's a

greater strain on the body and mind, with less opportunity for

repair. They are in a constant state of near exhaustion. It may only

take a slight exertion for them to become exhausted. If we use the 1-

10 scale for exhaustion where 10 is exhaustion, then for a normal,

healthy person, we may be, on a daily basis at around the 1 - 5

range. This gives us a tremendous store of energy before exhausting

ourselves. Patients with Fibromyalgia, may, on a daily basis, be

running between 4-8+. This means that as MT's, we need to be very

conscious of the ability of massage improve this range, but also be

aware that the work may literally exhause the client rather than

relax them.

Chronic hypertonicity, such as that found in people with

Fibromyalgia, results in higher degrees of toxins in the tissue. When

body work is applied to someone with Fibromyalgia, the sudden surge

of toxins into the blood stream can literally make a Fibromyalgia

patient feel exhausted and possibly even sicker than when they came

in. Of course, with proper hydration, the effects of the toxins will

pass, but this must be a very important consideration with working

with a Fibromyalgia patient.

Hmmm....this IS interesting and makes total sense. Where did you find

this?

Just wondering what more your source might have to say.

Thanks so much. I'm off from work today, so I'm spending time getting

caught up with this group. I'm sorry that I don't know if I ever

introduced myself to everyone. I, like so many of you that I've been

reading about, don't always have the energy to respond, but I do try

to skim through anyway and respond when I can.

I appreciate hearing from everyone!

I used to see a masseuse that trained for and got licensed to do rolfing. She

told me a lot about it during my massages. I never tried it though. I wish I

could afford to go back to her though. She was a very good masseuse.

Whenever I have someone massage even my shoulders and neck, which hurt so bad, I

feel so much better afterward. But then the next day it hurts much worse and

lasts for days. The same thing happened to me whenever I took a nice warm bath

- rebouding like crazy.

Take care,

Marti
