Massage Therapy and Pathology: Fibromyalgia and the “Invisible” Diseases

Monday, November 18, 2024

Zoom Webinar

3:00 – 6:00pm

 

Description:    Fibromyalgia is the second most common diagnosis of musculoskeletal pain, but its pathophysiology remains elusive. Further, it overlaps several other conditions, leading to confusing signs and contradictory treatment options. This class covers the definition, demographics, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, treatment options, and role of massage for the following: fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and others as time permits.

Participants will be able to…  

  • Identify and describe the definition, demographics, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms and common treatment options for each of the conditions under discussion
  • Discern the variables that inform clinical decision-making for massage therapy for each of the conditions under discussion
  • Describe special communication skills that are especially important for clients who live with chronic pain disorders
  • Describe risks and benefits of massage therapy for each of the conditions under discussion
