Doesn't sound like this thread is about Reiki really, but about finding a massage technique that the recipient finds therapeutic.
I'm just about to embark on a Swedish massage course, so this thread has been interesting in so much as I would like to ensure I get feedback from my clients so that I can be the best that I can be. It also highlights the need to get the setting right to avoid unnecessary disturbances during the session.
As I will then have both skills I would keep Reiki and massage separate particularly at the start, but my clients will know that I do offer Reiki as well if they choose to have it included.
With regards to giving Reiki to a person with Fibro, I would leave it to the client to decide whether they wanted to try to see if there are benefits. I personally think that channelling Reiki into a person who's nerves are raw already, due to pain may not be the most comfortable or relaxing of experiences for the recipient. Going to research this a little more and ask some of my friends who have fibro and are also either attuned to Reiki or receive Reiki.
I think the title of the thread is misleading really, but definitely grabs reiki-peeps eyes lol.

I totally agree. I find that I benefit from sending reiki but I cannot cope well at all with receiving it, almost as if it jangles.
