I do!
There is a special kind of massage, called reflectoric breathing therapy which is a little painful sometimes but helps to breathe deeper which I get once a week.
"Normal" massage is also good for CFers because we cough so hard and it helps to relax the muscles again.

I love massage it is my absolute favorite thing. I get very tense mid/upper back (around lungs) muscles that dont actually hurt where they are but where they attach which is all around the shoulders and neck.
I am seeing a new chiropractor with a masseus and we are just this week discussing whether my lung issues can be related to my back muscle issues as they say I am one of the worst cases they have seen in a while (for a certain area of my muscles no tthe entire back) for muscle tightness. I was previously going to school for chiropractic and alot of this makes sense I am very interested in it. Also peopel with bad asthma and lung issues usually do not take deep breaths expanding thei rrib cage and chest properly which can also allow muscles to stay and get tight.
During pregnancy I had a deep tissue massage every week and it is the only time I did not have problems. I have also noticed the same muscles that are chronically tight with me really really get sore right before I get sick, I can always tell it is coming before the doctors can tell.
