Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome that affects about 5 million Brazilians, according to data from the Brazilian Society of Rheumatology. Characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and increased sensitivity, the condition mainly impacts women between the ages of 30 and 55, who account for about 90% of cases. In addition to pain, patients often report difficulties sleeping, anxiety, and depression, which further compromises their quality of life.
To help those suffering from the disease, the school Grau Técnico de Serra is offering free professional massage sessions at events, conducted by students under the supervision of teachers. Therapeutic massage has been identified as an effective method to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and provide relaxation, alleviating the symptoms of fibromyalgia. In addition to benefiting patients, the initiative allows future massage therapists to gain essential practical experience for their profession.
Furthermore, the school has been training an increasing number of professionals specialized in the field, contributing to more people being able to benefit from this type of treatment. Interested individuals can seek more information directly from the institution and take advantage of this opportunity for care and learning.
