Fibromyalgia exercises have been established to be just about the best way to manage this condition.
Fibromyalgia syndrome, or FMS, is a chronic disorder that causes pain in your muscles and joints and it is characterized by widespread musculo-skeletal pain, fatigue, stiffness in the joints, multiple tender points and interrupted sleep.
It's cause is still relatively unknown, but there is a school of thought that says one such cause is a hereditary gene.
Research also suggests that fibromyalgia, is related to faulty sensory processing in the nervous system of the body.
One thing that is for sure, however, is that both genetics and environmental factors play a role in its development.
Fibromyalgia is most common in women between the ages of 20 and 50, although it also affects men, the elderly, and children.
The best treatment for fibromyalgia has been established to be exercises, especially regular, low intensity aerobic exercises.
Some such helpful fibromyalgia exercises are: 1.
Swimming or hydro therapy exercise.
Yoga exercises have also been discovered to be good and can improve sleep and decrease symptoms of fibromyalgia.
2.
Walking, stretching and 'on the spot' cycling is also good and helps a lot.
3.
Strength training exercises such as push ups, lifting light weights, resistance bands, etc are also very effective fibromyalgia exercises that help deal with it's symptoms.
When starting out with these physical activities, be sure to do so under the guidance of a physical therapist so that you do not over do it.
The key word when it comes to fibromyalgia exercises is consistency, as that is just about the best known way to manage its symptoms and allow you regain some of your normal life back activities, when it seems that these aches and pains sometimes seem to take the very life out of you.
There is also growing evidence and proof that natural remedies can play an equally important role in the management and treatment of fibromyalgia, especially when combined with any of the above mentioned exercises.
I personally know a few people who are on some of these natural herbs and they have great tales to tell.
Truth be told, I had never even heard about this condition until 2 of my friends got it almost at the same time, and that's when my interest in it got revved up.
Yes there are some specific nutritional supplements and vitamins that can help you, but there is so much more to these natural remedies than supplements.
