Massage is often a recommended form of alternative therapy that many doctors believe can be beneficial in improving the health and overall well being of a chronic fatigue patient. The most popular forms of massage for CFS sufferers are myofascial therapy and craniosacral therapy which both are types of massage done to the face, neck and upper back region. However a complete body massage can still be beneficial to promote the relaxation of the muscles and nerves. This is the number one purpose of massage therapy, which is to relax, calm and help soothe the body, especially when it is under stress such as when the severe symptoms of CFS flare up.
