Why You Get Fibromyalgia Chest Pain And What To Do About It

Rolfing: Another Method But Not for Those with Fibromyalgia

There are other deeper muscle techniques such as rolfing that will release trigger points, whether they are from fibromyalgia or not. Trigger points are found in the body when there’s improper ergonomics; i.e., sitting improperly at your desk for long hours at a time. Walking lopsided or having a leg length discrepancy is another way to quickly develop trigger points. And tilting your head to talk on the phone and sitting in a way where your head is forward are sure ways to develop golf-sized trigger points in your back and neck.

Rolfing may be too intensive for people with fibromyalgia because of their sensitivity to touch and amount of pain they feel in their muscles. And that’s where people with fibromyalgia chest pain or trigger points may need intensive nutritional evaluation. Nutrients may be used to quickly decrease the pain enough over a few weeks so that myofascial release therapy and rolfing can eliminate the remaining ‘seeds’ of the fibromyalgia chest pain and trigger points.

Magnesium Gel May Be a Way to Improve Pain from Fibromyalgia

For example, magnesium levels are usually quite low in those who have fibromyalgia. One quick way to raise them is to use a magnesium gel; the magnesium enters the skin directly. It’s called a transdermal cream because whatever is in the cream enters the body via the skin. This is one of the ways that some of the new hormone therapies are administered as well.

Many people I’ve worked with over the years have noticed a big difference in their tender trigger points and body aches and pains from using this gel.
