If you have fibromyalgia, you understand how difficult it can be to even get out of bed in the morning if your pain is intolerable that day. This crippling ailment causes pain in the soft tissues, tendons, muscles, and joints. If you have fibromyalgia, getting a massage may be beneficial. After receiving a massage, it can help you relax and improve your sleep, which helps your body repair and rejuvenate. Another benefit is that massage therapy can help improve your muscle tone.
