Gently massaging the spinal column gives relief

Posted by justbeme @justbeme, May 26 1:02pm

My wife has ME/CFS. Gently massaging the spinal column gives relief at the end of the day. Does anyone have any thoughts about why this may be effective? Is there nerve damage? What nerves may be responding?

I'm not an expert but doesn't massage promote blood flow? Also, never underestimate the power of human touch in reducing pain and discomfort.
