Many people who don’t understand fibromyalgia assume that rest is the only solution to alleviating pain. Well, this is a myth because exercise believe it or not, can be a fibro sufferer’s chief allies.

Exercise is important for fibromyalgia sufferers. While one doesn’t associate exercise with this condition it’s a vital component of managing and keeping symptoms at bay. Stretching exercises can be a great benefit.

Speak to your doctor though before attempting more rigorous activity. But stretching exercises should be strongly considered. Chiropractors can be a good source of information and advice in this area while activities such as sensible walk routines and spending time wading up and down a heated lap pool can help.
