Massage for FND is focussed on balancing the nervous system and reducing pain. It uses all techniques appropriate for the individual but includes more active and passive left right brain movements in the treatment.  

Myofascial dry needling (MFDN) is different to acupuncture in that it does not treat meridians or energy systems. It directly treats active myofascial triggerpoints.  MFDN used in conjunction with other soft tissue therapies helps to release points of pain faster than simple manual techniques on their own. It is a useful technique to relieve pain without using medications.
