Are you looking for pain relief proven to help with fibromyalgia?

BABM regularly works with clients who have fibromyalgia.

BABM provides a detailed holistic consultation process to discuss exactly how the condition effects YOU!

Fibromyalgia effects everybody so differently so I listen to you.

Holistic means assessing you as a whole… physically, mentally, emotionally.

What are your struggles…
What is daily life like for you…
Diet/nutrition…
Sleep…
Emotional state…

It’s all connected and should be assessed to achieve full improvement.

The treatment itself usually includes a full body Hot Stone Massage as it is the perfect way to relieve that pain as heat is extremely beneficial for any fibro pain.

We go through pain management plans and how to get you working towards the best quality of life.

BABM isn’t just a massage service.

It is a full rounded therapy service that provides physical, mental and emotional support to give you the best chance in life to live pain free as possible.

Ask yourself…

Are you overwhelmed with your pain?

Are you struggling to get through the day?

Do you struggle to leave the house due to your condition?

Are you ready to make changes in your life?

If anything I have said relates, please feel free to call me to discuss your pain management plan 📞

All in the comfort of your own home 🏡

The Old Farmhouse, Scunthorpe
