Approximately 70% of the population is affected by fibromyalgia. Sufferers range from mild pain to chronic persistent pain.

Fibromyalgia is a condition in which the nerves in the muscles are pinched and tightened. The muscle fibers retain a tight cellular memory, leading the muscle tissues to seize up. The continual seizing of the muscles leads to the pain. This seizing can be minor, or can be as severe as causing the whole back to tighten and seize in pain.

The most common from of treatment is through pain medications. Typically a combination of drugs for pain relief and muscle relaxation.

One of the ways to help treat and reduce the pain caused by fibromyalgia is massage. A chair massage will help to loosen the muscles. At the same time it will stimulate an increase in blood flow to help with the cramping caused by the seized tissues. Chair massage is a more economical source of massage, due to the need for repeated and frequent treatments. A massage chair provides convenient and economical support for sufferers of fibromyalgia.
