Fibromyalgia Syndrome Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Understanding the condition

In fibromyalgia, the nervous system becomes more sensitive to pain signals. Things that shouldn't hurt much, like light pressure, hurt a lot. It isn't a sign of tissue damage. Stress, poor sleep and inactivity tend to make it worse, which creates a difficult cycle.

It's more common in women and often coexists with other conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, headaches and anxiety or low mood.

Why exercise helps, and why it's hard

Exercise is one of the best-supported treatments for fibromyalgia. It can reduce pain and fatigue and improve sleep. But doing too much too soon often triggers flares, which makes people understandably wary.

The solution is starting very low and building very slowly. Walking, water-based exercise, gentle strength work and stretching are good starting points. Pacing, planning activity and rest across the day, avoids boom-and-bust cycles.

Our approach

We start by understanding your current activity level and your goals. Then we set a baseline that you can do even on a bad day, and increase gradually. Heat and TENS can ease pain. Education about how pain works often helps people feel more in control.

Fibromyalgia is managed best with a team approach, including your doctor and sometimes a psychologist or counsellor.
