Stretching is an important and necessary part of any fibromyalgia treatment program. Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness that causes widespread pain, persistent fatigue, and a number of other debilitating symptoms. Stretching can be difficult and uncomfortable for those suffering with fibromyalgia, yet it is an excellent way to increase muscle strength while decreasing muscle pain and stiffness once the exercises are completed.
Stiffness is at its worst in the mornings for most fibromyalgia patients. Often, if the muscles are stretched and allowed to relax, your morning will become welcomed as you incorporate these daily stretches. Get up 10 minutes earlier, and you will have the tools needed to ensure a productive day.
Yoga is one of the easiest forms of stretching. It prompts the body to relax, and eases muscle ache and joint pain. Yoga is usually done on the floor with a mat. But, if you are plagued with deep muscle and joint pain upon arising, you can do these exercises from your bed. These exercises are hand picked to target those areas that hurt the most in the morning getting you off in a shorter period of time to get on with your day.
