The Role of Exercise in Fibromyalgia Treatment

Fibromyalgia is a common disorder characterized by symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, and tenderness. While treatment approaches include medication, psychological support and lifestyle changes, exercise plays an important role in fibromyalgia management. In this article, we will focus on the effectiveness and benefits of exercise programs offered by the Robotic Rehabilitation Center in the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Why is exercise so important in relieving fibromyalgia symptoms? First of all, regular physical activity increases the level of endorphins in the body, which helps reduce pain. It can also improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and thus improve overall quality of life. At the Robotic Rehabilitation Center, exercise programs specially designed for fibromyalgia patients are based on increasing muscle strength, improving flexibility and improving cardiovascular condition. These exercise programs are adapted to the individual needs of the patients, within their physical limits.

As Robotic Rehabilitation Center, the exercise programs we design specifically for our patients are combined with flexibility and resistance training. Activities such as pilates and yoga, which emphasize slow and controlled movements, help reduce pain and increase muscle and joint flexibility. Additionally, methods such as water therapy/hydrotherapy provide a less painful exercise environment by reducing the pressure applied to the body. These therapies also reduce stress on the joint by supporting body weight, making them ideal for patients struggling with pain.

Strengthening exercises are also critical to increase muscle strength and endurance of fibromyalgia patients. Low-intensity resistance exercises, in particular, can raise the pain threshold and strengthen muscles. At the Robotic Rehabilitation Center, personalized weight and resistance band programs are developed under the supervision of our experienced physiotherapists, taking into account the difficulties that patients may encounter. While exercising, the principle of gradual increase according to the patient's tolerance is adopted, avoiding movements that may cause pain.

Finally, cardiovascular exercises also have their place in fibromyalgia treatment. Aerobic activities such as walking, jogging, and cycling can increase heart rate, helping to increase overall energy levels and improve pain threshold. The aerobic exercise programs offered at the Robotic Rehabilitation Center are specially adjusted to suit each patient's current condition and endurance.

As Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we offer a safe and effective treatment process to our patients, knowing the indispensable importance of exercise in the treatment of fibromyalgia. We continue our work with a multidisciplinary approach to improve the quality of life of our patients and use the most up-to-date and scientific methods in the field of exercise therapy. We invite everyone who wants to control fibromyalgia symptoms and make life easier to meet our exercise programs offered at the Robotic Rehabilitation Center. Here, we look forward to showing you that every action you take is a step towards a healthy and happy future.
