Yes, it is my neuromuscular physical therapist bills it under chronic pain. I had it for over two years along with pool therapy by a prescription.
My neurologist had it billed also under chronic fatigue.
@coloradogal I don't have neuropathy and there can be many things involved. According to my physical therapist, nerves simply wear out with aging causing neuropathy. Other reasons related to tight fascia affect circulation of body fluids that can trap waste products in tissues or compression of nerves traveling through tight spaces. MFR can help that and also get the body moving better and with better alignment and mechanics. If neuropathy has physical issues such as these, MFR may help. There are lots of discussions in the Neuropathy group that do recommend trying MFR therapy. I do have a older friend who had lost feeling in her legs and feet and was unable to drive because of it. She was able to regain some of that with MFR and be able to drive again. That may not be all of the issues, but it did help in her circumstance.
