Recognizing Fibromyalgia
What is Fibromyalgia? Merriam Webster defines it as : a chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain, tenderness, and stiffness of muscles and associated connective tissue structures that is typically accompanied by fatigue, headache and sleep disturbances.
For a long time people with this condition were ignored or dismissed as whiners and complainers. It is only recently that it has become recognized - some still deny that it is a true problem. I found this interesting article about the signs and symptoms that you may have this condition: Read HERE.
To me, the slides look like an acupressure chart. I happen to be studying acupressure now and will report back to you as I learn more - I wonder if Fibromyalgia can be helped with acupressure or whether it would be too painful to work directly over the effected areas.
For now, I highly recommend Reflexology to those with Fibromyalgia. It is a way to help relax your entire body without working on those highly sensitive areas which bring you chronic pain.

Welcome to Happy Feet Reflexology!
Thank you very much for coming to our blog! We appreciate your curiosity. Happy Feet is based out of Aurora, Colorado but we are willing to travel (within reason) to share this wonderful method of relaxation with anyone who may be interested.
You may have many questions and I completely understand that. For an overview of what Reflexology is about and what you might expect from a session, please visit our main website www.HelloHappyFeet.com
Another helpful site is http://www.reflexology-research.com/
We believe in educating people so they can promote health and wellness in themselves. With that in mind, we will post links to articles discussing many things including but not limited to Reflexology.
