Myofascial Release: A Secret Weapon Against Fibromyalgia Pain
The most effective treatment for fibromyalgia pain is myofascial release, which is a manual therapy focused on breaking up fascial adhesions that cause pain. It’s also something you can do yourself! Learn how myofascial release works and the research supporting its use in treating fibromyalgia. I also talk about the different “flavors” of myofascial release, including my personal favorite the John F. Barnes' Myofascial Release Approach. www.myofascialrelease.com

About me: I graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine and am board-certified in internal medicine. After developing fibromyalgia in medical school I was able to find integrative treatments that helped me feel much better. In my videos I hope to inspire everyone dealing with #fibromyalgia to remember they are #fibrofierce!

    So my cortisol was super low . Once I figured that out my feet started with Plantar Fasciitis and has moved up my legs in the muscles in calves and the backside of my knee. Could the cortisol levels be the culprit of starting all this? My calves feel like they are healing from a Charlie horse but never heal. It’s horrible!

    Can I ask if you believe in the theories of origin of bacterial infections (or atleast contributing) combined with numerous other Co-infections. Also in your research have you seen a hereditary component? I've battled this for decades and I'm now witnessing my 28 y.o. experiencing lots of neck and back pain. I just found your channel and am a new sub. Thank you

    Hi Dr. Ginevra, My posts are being deleted -- will try without added links in case it's some automatic UA-cam thing. Enjoyed your talk. I work with the NOPE group on Facebook that supports people learning about ULDN. Our guidance for people (partly based on the Oxytrex experiments you cited) is to start ULDN doses at 0.001mg taken with their opioid dose. We have seen members dosing even slightly higher have withdrawal issues so we like to be cautious. Over time hopefully the ULDN dose can build and the opioid dose can lower. His is a post we put up periodically: ULDN vs. LDN The best definition IMO is a clinical rather than a numerical one: A ULDN dose potentiates opiates A LDN dose blocks opiates That dividing line varies with the person, the opiate and their history. You will see doctors/articles citing various definitions. This reflects the variability cited above. ULDN dosing often starts at 0.001mg and is mostly used under 0.1mg. (usually towards the lower end). It is useful for those on opiates to reduce tolerance and make tapering easier. The user may work up to the point that they can get off opiates and use regular LDN. LDN dosing is usually above 0.1mg and most often in the 0.5 to 4.5mg range. But again it's not a hard line. Sometimes doses up to 25mg are used. Opiates are most likely blocked although some can use them for breakthrough pain with a 12hr gap

    nooo you got it all wrong! I looked into hypersensitve and I am hyposensitive! not hypersensitive. like in general. so my 'volume' is turned down not up!!! But why pain if is not hypersensitve to pain but I feel less than should? Also hot cold can't feel or pain if fall? I like don't notice much. I am in pain all the time 24h 5 years. it was always same no any different. I can not use medications due to abnormal reactions and phobia of anything affecting cardiovascular and normal painkiller does not work so I have nothing (but opioid is safe for cardiovascular). I do not understand why promote danger fibrmoyalgia meds as near killed me with heart issue from tiny bit and not normal opioid that does not affect heart while can affect pain a little. Can you explain my fibromyalgia please as no one explained this type? Hyposensitive fibromyalgia not hypersensitive. And the medications need only be opioid as everything fibromyalgia med near killed me as it causing cardiovascular issues like so danger. Hyposenstive fibronyalgia type please, when 'volume' is turned down onto everything? No any tender point nothing like that, can't feel anything? Only pain all the time.

    I don't have 'pain hyper sensitivity', where did you get this from? I am not 'sensitive'! I feel less pain than should, if I fall etc. As I am in so much pain that I can not feel pain that is less of my pain! How is this 'hyper sensitive'? It is 'hypo sensitive' proving you wrong totally. Can you get some fact right? Why everything is 'fibromyalgia', if you feel more pain or less, it does not matter, so annoying, I won't be watching anything about silly fibromyalgia any more, such fake talk.

    oh come on you feel muscle of sports person, is like stone or some people's. Most men muscles are hard and not 'relaxed'. They are not in pain!!! But normal soft muscle is in pain. So you don't make any sense. Is menopuasal pain in female's muscles or wrong bad posture mechanical strain cause or autoimmune then as muscle hardness does not mean pain or no pain.

  • @mariado3690
    @mariado3690 5 днів тому

    may be it is not all what you said? I think most women have menopause pain and not that pain, only people coming off meds have real fibromyalgia due to medication use. Other pain must be autoimmune and not 'fibromyalgia'. You have no proof of your whole story, just talking what you believe pain is. But is not, all the women most middle age ironically right, have menopause pain, in fact, no any made up 'danger flight'. You must be joking. Ok let's call menopause pain now 'fibromyalgia' so everyone is same and not upset? But young people do not have your menopausal pain, it is not fair for them to be labelled too just because others want mask menopuase under 'fibromyalgia' so no judgements made. Or some meds users want mask their real fibromyalgia due to meds use under 'everyone's same' pain label.

    I think what’s happening is by stimulating the nerves in the area you’re experiencing pain, you are sending normal messages to the brain of what normal sensation feels like in that area of the body. This is good for a brain with fibromyalgia because it is currently wired for pain. The gentle, persistent normal nerves sensations help it to rewire it back to a small degree. My question to the video author is what happens when you continue to do this treatment for a sustained period of time? Does your pain always come back?

  • @miezeken
    @miezeken 6 днів тому

    I have a very hard time believing you can resolve fibromyalgia pain with myofascial release. my fibromyalgia pain comes from the nervous system and is nerve pain. There’s nothing wrong with the muscle. Myofascial release acts on the physical muscle.

  • @carolanneking6990
    @carolanneking6990 6 днів тому

    Thank you so much for this excellent presentation Indeed I also find myofascial release helpful but expensive I also intend to buy your book. I have just begun using An infrared light therapy panel. Some studies show a 30% decrease in fibro pain in double blind studies. The science behind these panels is very solid and there are 50 labs worldwide doing research on Infrared light therapy I am only 4 days in using my light panel but I have already had positive results with better sleep. My pain seems a bit improved but it is too early to tell yet. If you intend buying a light panel be wary as there are a lot of scammers out there who' will tell you the cheap ones from China are no good. In fact. "ALL of them are made in China" even the very expensive ones. That's why I purchased a cheap one at Walmart for $53 on line .It works just fine and is lightweight, havng 2 types of light waves , 620nm and 810 nm. Some of the expensive ones weigh 30 to 40 lbs and are being sold for as much as $2000 In case It didn't work I didn't want to invest a lot of money as many companies charge a lot to ship them back as they are so heavy.

    Fibromyalgia half my life 38 years now. Lupus 14 years. Broke Patella, Tibia and Fibula on both legs and 3 ankles. I have a titanium plate in lower left leg. Broke both wrists, one recently. Had Cardiomyopathy in 2013. I've gone through this alone with no help. I actually have the worse case of Fibromyalgia in the world, can be documented. I can't (don't want to) take Opioids and Gabapentin has caused many falls. I use marijuana gummies now and occasionally marijuana itself. I self diagnosed after a Slip and Fall 5 years later. I had a Landmark Case for Slip and Fall in the whole country in 1990. I got Maria Shriver from ABC to interview my doctor at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. It's an hour long interview I have on tape. He explains what causes Fibromyalgia. It would be nice to talk to you about it. I was told I was in as much pain as last stage dying cancer patients and Morphine drip won't work. Lidocaine patches used to work also. I will promise to keep in touch with everyone, we need each other. You described Fibromyalgia better than I have found and I thank you. Please keep us posted on Utube. Until later...🙏✌️💖

It started in the the sacroiliac joints in 6th grade. My mom thought it was menstrual cycle pain. Back then, they didn't have a way to find the HLA B27 gene in the blood.

    I don’t know if anyone else has discovered this but I did by mistake. A friend gave me some lidocaine XR (12hrs) dermal pain patches cause she thought it would help with my back pain. I was too shy to tell her that they prob wouldn’t work as my back pain is in the spinal joints and discs so deeper than the dermal patches would reach. So out of politeness I tried them and to my surprise they helped with my fibromyalgia pain… go figure?!? Then I remembered reading a research paper that was looking at the role of the dorsal ganglia in fibro pain and came to the conclusion that it may be linked to some sort of disruption between the CNS and PNS (which if I understand correctly from your talk the dorsal ganglia is the connecting part of these two nervous systems). And I’m not too sure how deep in the skin the topical lidocaine would reach (?) but I imagine they would be more closer to the top layer of skin (where the patch sits) since they are nerve cells. They took upto 2hrs to take full effect but after that lasted another 10hrs of blissful relief with pretty much full relief from my fibro pain for the first time in decades! Like I said I was completely stunned and surprised by this but if this is true about the dorsal ganglia then this would explain why it. Disclaimer; I’m not recommending any treatments as I’m not a doctor or health profession just a person who has lived with fibro for over 2 decades and who is curious to know if anyone else has had an experience like this also?

      I was at a conference recently where the doctor talked about doing lidocaine injections in the muscles near the spine and getting significant pain relief in a much wider area than expected. He theorized the lidocaine was getting into the dorsal root ganglia and reducing pain that way. I think your hypotheses could definitely be correct. For sure the dorsal root ganglia play a huge role in generating fibro pain.

    I love watching your videos and firstly thank you for doing them, spending the time as you have doing them and your personal story…. I want to raise the woo woo aspect tho….. I feel we have come so far away from who and what we were meant to be….the woo woo should be hospital medicine as that is so far away from who and what we were meant to be, i feel and believe…as amazing as it is too…. Energy is who and what we are and being one with plants is absolutely who we are…. Sorry not meaning to be contrary or disparaging to you in anyway….its just we so accept our scientific so say western medicine, but plants were here first to nourish and heal our bodies and do think doctors have that punched out of them when at med school…so happy to hear your a plant goddess….!!! I do wish you well and heartache is soooo hard to manage…….bless you xxx
