Fibromyalgia

A1 Pilates offers a range of massage therapies
to relieve the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that affects more women
than men. People affected have widespread
aches and pains in their muscles,
tendons and ligaments
. It is also known as "muscular rheumatism", "soft tissue
rheumatism" and "neurasthenia".

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a condition that's hard to define.
There isn't an obvious physical explanation for the
persistent aches and pains.
But it is clear that the symptoms can make it hard to cope with daily activities like
employment and housework.

Causes

Nobody is quite sure what causes
fibromyalgia.
There are many theories, but there is no clear evidence of the cause.
It doesn't seem to be inherited from parents and
it doesn't appear to be caused by a virus.

Symptoms

The aches and pains of
fibromyalgia affect many of the
muscles around the body, although not necessarily all at the same time. The pain is
usually worse in the
neck and the upper part of the back, and it's unlikely to be
fully relieved by everyday painkillers -
aspirin or ibuprofen.

People with
fibromyalgia may also have symptoms including:

waking up feeling totally unrefreshed
constant
fatigue
feeling very stiff in the morning
numb hands or tingling fingers
finding everyday noise irritating and painful
loss of ability to concentrate
forgetfulness
irritability
tension headaches

Fibromyalgia
is a condition that sometimes lasts for several years.

Treatment

A1 Pilates can help you manage your
fibromyalgia
through a variety of therapeutic massages.  
People who follow a regular massage program
generally feel better over time.  

Enhance your experience with a spa-quality therapeutic massage!
