Replying to @Amy Harber Fibromyalgia PART 2 The exercises I prescribe for my fibromyalgia patients usually looks quite a bit different compared to what I prescribe my other patients… Sometimes it looks like very low intensity exercise… Other times it’s regressed so much that it doesn’t even look like exercise; moreso just “movement.” This video includes a few examples of both from a fibromyalgia exercise protocol I found in a study from last year. Several of the exercises in that protocol don’t really look like exercise… Which is why I wanted to share it. Sometimes that’s where these people need to start… But it’s really incredible how far they can go from there. Many of these people do not respond to pain in the short-term the same way most people do; they don’t get exercise-induce hypoalgesia (pain relief via movement). Instead for them it just hurts… That’s why the “sensitive but safe” part is so important to know. BUT there are studies showing that over the long term, these people are able to achieve the same level of pain adaptations as anyone else. Let me know in the comments if I should make a Part 3 showing the full exercise protocol from that study along with my own personal exercise ideas. And if you find written content more helpful, Chris Hughen wrote a great blog article on fibromyalgia for E3 Rehab that I think could really help a lot of people. Just head to the articles section of their website. Sorry this video was super boring lol fibromyalgia is a hard topic to make videos on. #fibromyal#fibromyalgiaa#chronicpainl#fibromyalgiawarrior💜a#chronicpainwarriorainmanagement
