TREATMENT

Although there is no definitive cure at this time, there are treatments that can help. Your physical therapist can help you:

  • Understand and manage your pain.
  • Reduce your fatigue.
  • Improve your function and quality of life.

following treatments can decrease pain and improve function, general health, and sleep in people with fibromyalgia:

  • Aerobic conditioning.
  • Aquatic exercise.
  • Strengthening exercise:- core stability, muscle flexibility and strengthening
  • Deep breathing.
  • Recreational activities.
  • Manual therapy.
  • Deep tissue release:- deep tissue release is an ideal fibromyalgia treatment because it uses a great deal of pressure to relieve deep muscle tension and spasms.
