Two European studies found that after twenty sessions of myofascial release, which focuses on gently stretching the fascia that surrounds every muscle, fibromyalgia subjects reported significant pain reduction. What is really great, though, is that they also showed long-lasting pain relief, with reduced levels after one month and six months after their last session (Castro-Sánchez 2011, Sep 2011). I led a pilot study that confirmed these results and found that myofascial release therapy (MFR) relieved pain much better than standard Swedish massage (Liptan 2013).
