A Practical Guide to Managing Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is the 2nd major “rheumatic” disorder.

There is no complete cure for fibromyalgia: but we can reduce and manage the symptoms by natural remedies, lifestyle changes, and medication. This book features information on Pharmacologic & Non-Pharmacologic approaches, alternative therapies, and current medical trends.

Presented here are simple stretching exercises using a physioball that help alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia. Another benefit of the bridging exercise is the upper back stabilization This is great for basic core strengthening and enables mobilization of the lumbosacral region towards an anterior and posterior tilting motion. Postural correction is just as important.

Though this may be a challenging condition to deal with, I have worked with patients who keep on and live quality lives. A willingness to take charge, consistency with therapeutic options and alternatives recommended certainly goes a long way.
No matter what the odds, Quality of Life is always possible with the right attitude and adaptations to one’s disability.
