Myofascial Release and Fibromyalgia

Описание: 🗓️ Fibromyalgia Check-In #5 – Myofascial Release and Feeling Better

After a few good days without a flare, I’ve been able to spend some time out in the workshop again — and it’s felt great. In this check-in, I talk about myofascial release and how it might be helping reduce my muscle tension and soreness.

The concept is about applying gentle, sustained pressure to tight fascia (the connective tissue around muscles) to restore movement and ease pain. It’s not aggressive massage — it’s slow, careful, and focused.

For me, understanding fascia has helped make sense of some of the stiffness and lingering pain that comes with fibromyalgia. It’s another reminder that sometimes small, mindful approaches can make a big difference.

💬 Let’s talk:
Have you tried myofascial release or stretching?
Did it help your fibro pain or mobility?
What gentle recovery methods work best for you?
