 Exercise is an integral component of a healthy lifestyle whether or not you have a disorder such as Fibromyalgia (FM). There are many studies that have demonstrated that stretching and gentle aerobic exercise are an important component of any FM treatment program. Most FM patients find it difficult to exercise on a regular basis because they are tired and exertion usually results in more pain initially. Indeed too much too soon will invariably aggravate both pain and fatigue. Thus a carefully graded program of exercise is critical to a successful program.
The Oregon Fibromyalgia Foundation has several excellent exercise videos for persons with FM. The scientifically-based program uses Thera-Band® elastic resistance, Stability Trainers and Exercise Balls.
