• Widespread musculoskeletal pain
• Persistent fatigue
• Cognitive difficulties (often called “fibro fog”)
• Sleep disturbances
• Tender points across the body

While the exact cause remains unclear, fibromyalgia is believed to involve abnormal pain processing by the nervous system, making the body more sensitive to pain signals.

• Aching or burning pain throughout the body
• Morning stiffness
• Headaches or migraines
• Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Mood disorders like anxiety or depression

Fibromyalgia is often diagnosed after ruling out other conditions with similar symptoms, making it both challenging and frustrating for many patients.

• Physical or emotional trauma
• Repetitive injuries or infections
• Sleep deprivation
• Prolonged stress or anxiety
• Autoimmune conditions (such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis)

While fibromyalgia cannot be "cured" in the conventional sense, it can be managed effectively through the right combination of therapies and lifestyle changes.

• Improve spinal alignment and joint function
• Reduce muscle tension and stiffness
• Enhance nerve communication
• Lower overall pain sensitivity

Patients often report improvements in sleep quality and reduced flare-ups with regular, gentle adjustments.

Physiotherapy for Fibromyalgia

Our physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on therapy, education, and movement-based strategies to:

• Increase muscle strength and flexibility
• Promote circulation and tissue healing
• Support stress management through guided exercises
• Improve posture and movement patterns

Low-impact exercises such as stretching, aerobic activity, and hydrotherapy can also provide lasting relief without overwhelming the nervous system.

• Pacing techniques to avoid overexertion
• Stress reduction strategies like mindfulness or meditation
• Nutritional advice to reduce inflammation
• Sleep hygiene practices
• Home exercise programs
