Prof. Tchaikovsky claims that sports massage disturbs blood supply. He doesn't know what he talking about.

Dear members.

At my “Making different in fibromyalgia cases” discussion I mentioned the necessity of protecting our clients as well as potential clients from misleading statements, including the statement from so-called “scientific community “

The following is the copy of opinions exchange with Jacqueline where I insisted that we should challenge misleading and sabotaging publications and statements and promised to reply to Prof. Tchaikovsky.

I was happy that Ross Turchaninov MD agreed with me that all this nonscientific, outrageous, difficult to pass smell test nonsense by of Prof. Tchaikovsky has to be addressed.  Please click on the following link to read our scientific
review as a response to New York Times interview. It would be nice to hear your
opinions, and I hope that each of us will feel outraged.

Best wishes.

Boris

Well said Boris. I have a number of Fibromyalgia clients and all have been very happy with the addition of massage therapy to their health care. Each client is different in their needs so i listen very carefully,
communicate through the massage and follow up. All ensure that i provide the
quality of care that they deserve. I feel its better to stay out of the
controversy and treat the individual.

Dear Jacqueline.
I'm glad that you liked discussion on this subject. In general on subject of fibromyalgia we do not have controversy because American Academy of rheumatology
declared that fibromyalgia is an idiopathic disorder but still treating people
who suffering from fibromyalgia by prescribing
antaidepressants,antainflammatory and other medications.
if you meant controversy is post on my YouTube account then my opinion we
shouldn't stay out of this debates because she confusing patients by warning
not to receive massages.
As I stated in my article that all this snowbowl symptoms development starting
on level of muscles and this is why massage is most effective in management of
fibromyalgia.
Recently someone by name of Prof. Tchaikovsky gave interview two New York time
telling that he did research and come to conclusion that massage do not
promoting blood supply to the tissues. I spent time to read his
in my opinion nonscientific study report. Should we ignore this publication?I
believe not. Because he confusing and sabotaging general public. Your client
can come to you with preset mine that you do not provide medical procedure.
Very difficult to reach results in such a case. As we speaking I am working on
full scientific review
as a respond to Tchaikovsky nonsense.of course I will post at my group but
hopefully somebody of us will get to New York Times and will tell them that
this is not fair and not responsible to publish interview of one scientist who
obviously don't like us. Now would like to back to your comment. Love it. And
especially:"Each client is different in their needs so i listen very
carefully, communicate through the massage and follow up."
I would say that this statement is guideline for first step to successful
outcome of
