Has anyone used massage therapy for treatment or pain management? I work at a massage clinic and I have noticed my massages are extremely painful from the tension from the stress and pain my body endures. If anyone has any information it would be amazing

I have been try myofascial release massage and have had 3 treatments on my pelvic area and have already noticed a small change in my pain level. We are working on breaking down the adhesions.

How did I not see this sooner?? A regular 'ol massage therapist may not be able to get to the root of the tension, but if you're interested in pelvic physical therapy, it can do wonders! Here's a long thread on it with lots of info, experiences, etc.: endo-resolved.proboards.com/thread/565/pelvic-physical-therapy I've had regular massages that help in the short term, but the myofascia or viseral release really can have long lasting effects if the PT is trained properly. I have my endo managed now and credit about 1/3 of the progress to PT - I think I had about 8-10 sessions?

It sounds to me like you need to find a new mt. Your relief may be short lived because your body is so busy defending itself from the "extremely painful" massage that it isn't able to properly open the tissues. Karen's suggestion of Myofascial Release is a good one (myo is actually a form of massage working to release to connective tissue throughout the body) and I would also add Craniosacral Therapy, which works through the nervous system. Find therapists who have ADVANCED training in these modalities and you will likely see fantastic shifts!
There are times when massage is uncomfortable, especially with deep abdominal work, but it should never be "extremely painful." If it is, it's likely doing more harm than good.
