Should Fibromyalgia Sufferers Excercise?

The simple answer to this question is yes and no. What do I mean by yes or no? Fibromyalgia sufferers need specific stretching and exercise routines provided by trained medical professionals who are familiar with fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is often miss understood by family, friends and even by some physicians. Thankfully, the view of fibromyalgia is shifting from a psychosomatic disorder to a dysfunction of the central nervous system and physiological systems that affect the central nervous system.

Currently, most medical professionals recommend that pain, depression, or overlapping diseases or disorders be treated prior to pursuing an exercise program. Exercise may be recommended, however the exercise routine must be tailored to suit the needs and limitations of an individual with fibromyalgia so that the individual does not suffer further damage or impairment.
