Having a Type A personality already makes me carry stress in general. Add in a chronic illness and you're looking at an extremely tightly wound body. With Lyme disease I can not stress the importance of Massage. I'm so sore all the time, my joints hurt, back hurts, muscles spasm, the list goes on. Nothing feels better than a nice long massage to repair the damage your body endures. But that's not even the reason it's so important...it's most famously used to stimulate the lymphatic system and remove toxins from the body. We all have toxins, healthy or not. That's why after getting a professional massage they give you a cup of water & urge you to drink lots of water that day. Detoxing with Lyme disease is crucial, you can't possibly do it enough. A massage is a double whammy for pain & cleansing. Not to mention relaxing the mind & body if you have insomnia like myself.
I get my massage weekly by an amazing massage therapist who comes over & sets up shop in my home. It makes my Mondays feel so much better and adds a much needed boost for the week ahead.
I highly recommend getting frequent massages, and speaking with your therapist about the exact needs you are looking for. My therapist worked with a chronic Lyme patient before so that was an added bonus & blessing that I found her. My body feels more relaxed, the tension I hold is slowly improving. Every small step you can take to ease pain or assist the process is crucial.
