Exercises for Fibromyalgia: The Complete Exercise Guide for Managing and Lessening Fibromyalgia Symptoms

Exercises for Fibromyalgia: The Complete Exercise Guide for Managing Fibromyalgia
Studies consistently show that exercise helps restore the body’s neurochemical balance, boosts energy, restores sleep, and overall improves the emotional state. 
As medical practitioners, we see both great results with exercise and, at times, aversion to it due to a negative prior experience and exacerbation of symptoms. 
It is this double-edged sword that patients and we as physicians face in using therapeutic exercise in the treatment of fibromyalgia. 
On the one hand, exercise is another form of exertion for someone who already has decreased endurance, fatigue, and disturbed sleep. 
For someone with fibromyalgia, to take on an exercise routine means overcoming the above barriers, only to face the next question: How do I exercise so that I get the benefits without getting the unwanted increase in fatigue and pain? What are the appropriate exercises and where do I start? Zinovy Meyler, D.O., Co-Director, Interventional Spine Program, Princeton Spine and Joint Center 
In Exercise for Fibromyalgia, rehabilitative specialist William Smith has created a book that details the theory of exercise with the clinical experience and empirical evidence, showing the science behind appropriate therapeutic exercise.  This book is a much needed road map in the maze that can be fibromyalgia.

    Thanks for sharing this Lee. Your link led me to the Kindle version, but in skimming through it, my initial impression was so positive that I went back and ordered a physical copy of it as well. I'm so glad you discovered this!
