Pilates and Yoga for Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia
Exercise is a crucial component to optimally managing fibromyalgia symptoms. However, exercise as it is commonly prescribed, often results in a flare of pain, fatigue, poor sleep and low mood. Two recent studies report that the average 40 y/o with fibromyalgia has fitness findings expected for a healthy 80 y/o. The good news is that the spiral of deconditioning can be reversed without inducing a symptom flare. The fibromyalgia research team at OHSU are pain researchers and clinicians who have developed and tested multiple exercise programs for people with chronic pain and fibromyalgia over the last 3 decades. We film real patients completing the exercise routines and offer them to you for home exercise on DVD. Our latest DVD is Pilates and yoga.

Alternative Fibromyalgia Syndrome Therapies: Tai Chi
Tai chi is a form of alternative treatment for fibromyalgia syndrome. Tai chi exercises are based on unique tai chi movements that are known to provide a variety of health benefits. As such, tai chi exercises can be beneficial in the treatment of fibromyalgia. But what exactly is tai chi and how can this alternative fibromyalgia therapy help to alleviate common symptoms of fibromyalgia?

I hope this is enough to be going on with! More next week, all being well. Things are going well for me, I am managing to walk a little without sticks now!

N.B. I would like to point out to you all that the information in my eNewsletters does not necessarily infer endorsement by the charity Fibromyalgia Support for Surrey & Sussex. Any advice or recommendation of a medical or legal nature must always be discussed with a qualified professional. The charity cannot be held responsible for omissions and/or errors.
Sites I refer you to are for information only. They might conflict in their opinions, they might not even be medically sound, but I merely offer them for you to peruse and make your own judgements, accept or reject as you will. Only by reading widely can we get an overall picture of fibromyalgia syndrome and how we can deal with its symptoms, learn to cope with them and still have a life.
I also include various awareness and local issues as well as general health considerations. Anyone wishing to reproduce any of the above items in printed form should seek permission from the originators.
