This article examines the outcomes of managing fascial health for persons diagnosed with fibromyalgia based on the protocol developed by the author, Dr. Kirstie Bender Segarra, and implemented in a pilot study of five clients. The protocol was designed to improve fascial health through an integrative medicine strategy with lifestyle management including diet changes and supplements, structural integration, and exercises designed to target fascia. An integrative medicine practitioner individually assessed the clients who then met once a month and each received structural integration bodywork at least once a month for three months. The clients had clinically significant reductions in the pain symptoms of fibromyalgia as measured by the Widespread Pain Index.
