I've tried it, and various forms of massage therapy.

Like has been said, it's far too rough for RSD.
I walked out of almost every type of massage therapy "On Fire", had to go "med up", and do my own whirlpool, and relaxation afterward.

The only "massage type" therapy I know that works wonderfully, besides, a good gentle chiropractor, is called:
"Alexander Technique".

I had this done for about a year.
Really great stuff.
They work ever so gently, on drawing tension away from the body's core.
So, in effect, you're of course in a dark, (candlelit) warm room, with aromatherapy and mood music. On a massage table, and they gently "push" away from your spine, outwards.
towards your sides, and along your limbs, and lastly out your toes and fingers.

Lots of oils and very very gentle. It doesn't wake any of the rsd "burn".
Usually, or, often, you're left alone to doze for a little while, that's how relaxing it is.

It's the ONLY massage I would allow.
That's just my experience.
