we have worked with clients with Fibromyalgia (which is the same as fibrositis) and have seen excellent results with both Pilates work and Yamuna Body Rolling. Both can help to reduce the joint stiffnes by stretching and strengthening muscles and relieving joint tension. Simply moving also helps to elavate mood which can relieve the depression / anxiety that sufferers often feel.

Kinesiology, manual muscle testing, can get to the root of your symptoms and quite often Food Sensitivities are involved as well as a lack of Essential Fatty Acids and sometimes Manganese. However, you need to get tested individually otherwise it is still all just guess work.

Reflexology could work to intervene with your problem. Also something to try to alleviate the pain and work on the specific area in General would be Reiki. Active reiki Channels energy at specific frequencies to the root of the illness or ailment. IF you would like to further your information on this subject and how Reiki could help.

Hi, heating or massaging the area should help alleviate the swelling the area that is putting pressure on the nerves and causing pain. some people find that using a hairdryer to heat the area can help (of course being careful, don't burn yourself!). I practice Tuina deep tissue medical massage which can help unblock the area, again causing relief. I agree with the other posts that reiki can be really helpful in this condition. For self treatment, stick with heating and some gentle self-massage (although I realise that it's not so easy to reach the upper arm.)

Pearl Barley water I believe will help drain the system too.

Sorry to hear you have that painful condition. I've worked with many clients who have chronic pain with good results although it is always an ongoing process. I always try to coordinate with the client's physician or physical therapaist to plan a program of exercises that would most benefit the client. My Pilates work is integrated with Feldenkrais principles which helps people discover new and alternative ways to move and accomplish daily tasks and even more athletic activities. Strengthening and stretching are important to increase strength, flexibility and coordination as is working on posture and alignment. This type of pain can migrate to other parts of the body so achieving a more "balanced body" is an important goal. I use all of the Pilates equipment and a variety of small balls and foam rollers to help people learn how to move in new and pain free ways. Please see my website at http://www.pilatessf.com or feel free to contact me at leslie@pilatessf.com if you would like to ask more specific questions. I suggest you see a professional practitioner as well as a doctor but I can help you select some rollers and balls to use at home to start helping yourself.

There are a few things that can help you, before beginning any treatment please consult with a medical professional. If you are seeking hypnosis help, then metaphorical hypnosis can help. Do the following, take a few deep breaths, relax yourself, then visualize the discomfort as an object, visualize the object been discarded, repeat this routine until the discomfort is discarded. This treatment best works if you are given suggestions. I can help you, if you are open to it. I can also provide you with distant Reiki healing. I am sending you my blessings and positive healing energy.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your condition. As Fibrositis is known to be a chronic condition causing a variety of symptoms, Reiki can help by supporting your body in clearing blockages leading to any inflammation being reduced. If you suffer from sleeping problems, fatigue, anxiety and/or depression, Reiki can support you by lifting your mood thereby reducing the negative effects of sleeping problems etc.

You are welcome to contact me if you're interested in a free sample distance Reiki session.

Best wishes, Daniella

I have to agree with all of the comments below about how helpful Pilates can be for those suffering with your condition. We have 2 clients who come to our studio on a weekly basis and the work we have done has been truly life changing for them. The focus on breath and relaxation alongside the movement which relieves tension in the joints is a great combination and can produce fantastic results. Make sure you go to a teacher who is experienced in working remedially. Depending on where you are located I can recommend Pilates Studios to you if you email on grace.yourpilates@gmail.com. If you are outside London, I suggest you go to the Pilates Foundation website to find a suitably qualified instructor. Hope you feel better soon!

Hi, I believe there is nothing yet discovered to treat fibrositis. If doctors perscribed you an exercise, I believe a good physiotherapist should be able to work with the arm. Have you tried reflexology treatment? Since it is a grey area, you will have to go on and explore which treatment works for you the best.

Hello.... I 'm sure we can resolve your painful arm by using deep tissue massage combined with specific stretches ; also I use laser therapy for symptoms that are too painful for massage ..

That is a tough one to answer because it depends upon what caused it and what exacerbates it. Without touching it, I would not be inclined to advise except to say that any "itis" denotes an inflamation. Have you considered seeing someone who specializes in fascial work? or a cranioscral therapist? I am pretty sure either could give some good insights.

Have you tried acupuncture? This can be very helpful. It can also reduce the pain.

As a craniosacral therapist I have worked with several clients with fibromyalgia with good results. Due to the biodynamic nature of the treatment, it is the client's system which dictates the agenda, allowing the pace of change and release to suit the individual with the therapist acting as facilitator.
