Can physiotherapy cure fibromyalgia?

While physiotherapy cannot cure fibromyalgia, it can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life. Structured exercise, pain relief modalities, and self-management strategies help reduce pain, increase energy, and improve sleep and mood.

What exercises are safe for people with fibromyalgia?

Safe exercises for fibromyalgia include gentle aerobic activities like walking, water-based therapy, and cycling. Guided stretching routines and controlled strengthening exercises targeting the core and back are also beneficial. All exercises should be gradually introduced and supervised by a physiotherapist.

How often should someone with fibromyalgia do physiotherapy?

Consistent, supervised physiotherapy sessions lead to meaningful improvements. The frequency depends on individual needs and pain levels, but regular participation with ongoing reviews ensures the program evolves with progress and adapts to both good days and challenging ones.

Living with fibromyalgia means enduring persistent pain, widespread tenderness, and unrelenting fatigue that can disrupt daily life.

How Physiotherapy at VitalPhysio⁺ Helps You Manage Fibromyalgia

Individualized Assessment and Goal Setting: Every program at VitalPhysio⁺ starts with a detailed evaluation to identify your pain triggers, activity limitations, and lifestyle needs.
Gentle Aerobic Exercise: Low-impact activities such as walking, water-based therapy (aquatic treadmill), or cycling are carefully introduced to boost stamina, circulation, and energy—while avoiding flare-ups.
Flexibility and Stretching Routines: Guided stretching helps alleviate muscle stiffness, improve joint mobility, and relieve tension without overexerting sensitive tissues.
Strengthening and Postural Re-education: Our therapists coach you through controlled strengthening exercises targeting the core, back, and limbs, helping stabilize joints and reduce fatigue. Postural correction minimizes stress on the body and prevents pain recurrence.
Pain Relief Modalities: Techniques such as electrotherapy, gentle manual therapy, and laser therapy calm overactive nerve signals and reduce pain intensity.
Education and Self-Management Strategies: We empower you to identify personal triggers, pace activities, and use relaxation methods—like breathing exercises and mindfulness—to cope with flare-ups and minimize stress.

Why Commitment to Physiotherapy Matters

Consistent, supervised sessions lead to meaningful improvements in pain, mobility, and quality of life.
Regular reviews ensure your program evolves with your progress, adapting to both good days and challenging ones.

Pro Tip: Participation in group exercise or aquatic therapy can support motivation, community, and accountability.
