But I don't see "muscle spasm" on the list and that is quite different from the other maladies mentioned. But thank you for the info. might be useful for some people...Susan

@ksdm Susan, I think MFR may help. A muscle spasm is a contracted muscle and it's tight. The spasm could also be happening from fascial tightness if that is compressing a nerve that feeds that muscle as it passes through very small spaces in the body. The list was compiled by John Barnes (I think), but probably isn't all inclusive. I've got tight knotted muscles that I've had in my neck for years. Sometimes those do need more aggressive deep tissue massage (like pushing on it with rocks or sticks), and MFR can help maintain the progress made.
