Fibromyalgia is a very difficult condition to manage.

However, a recent study found a good path toward recovery.

Their recommendation…

“Patients with fibromyalgia should start with a feasible type of exercise to enhance their long‐term adherence to the protocol, of an initially low intensity, which should be increased over the course of six to twelve weeks.

They should aim for at least 100 min per week, distributed between two to three sessions of twenty‐five to forty minutes each.”

Key Considerations

It can take 6 weeks to see significant results
Vigorous exercise gives even more pain relief
A graded progression with the patient tolerance is key

Exercise is excellent medicine. It’s just important for this population to find the right type that will allow them to tolerate it
