More Details About This Video:
Many times I hear patients call this Fibro-my-allergy. It actually has nothing to do with allergies, and it can be very painful and debilitating. The key with fibromyalgia is to exercise, but not over exercise your body. Many times, simple stretches every day can be very beneficial. Start off with 20-30 seconds of each of these, and work your way up to 1 minute of each.
First, start off with some shoulder circles. You can roll them clockwise, and then counter clockwise. This will stretch out the shoulder and neck muscles. Start with 20-30 seconds.
Now put your hands out in front of you with your thumbs up. Pull them out to the side, and really stretch your chest area, getting a nice stretch and bring them back in. You can pause at the end for an extra stretch. Then put your hands up over your head, and now go side to side bending each way. You can do a continuous motion, or you can hold at each side for about 5 seconds.
After that, stretch your hamstrings. You can do this standing up or sitting down. Put your feet straight you in front of you into a long sit. Keeping your back straight, bend only at your hips down towards your feet. If you want more of a stretch and to stretch your calves as well, pull your toes towards you while stretching.
Next, lie down with your knees propped up. Rotate your knees side to side for a trunk rotation. Try to keep your back on the ground when rotating. Then go into a knee to chest stretch. You can grab your knee, but if you have knee issues, then grab underneath your thigh. Alternate sides.
The last stretch is a child’s pose. Sit on your knees and bring your bottom to your feet. Bring your arms down to the ground in front of you, and stretch them out as far as you can. Hold the stretch.
Those were your Fibromyalgia stretches!

@@m7mdcook405 i have diagnosed fibromyalgia 3y ago, so many times i have worried about that. The best suggestion that i get is swimming, that really2 improve my pain. Cause of covid 19 most of swimming pool are close, i try to exercise, but that only increase my pain level. Until i found dr. Jo. This excercise really help me, she tell us to dont take over excercise

[@Creedy2009]

I have found aqua fit at my local swimming pool has helped me strengthen my legs as I'm on crutches and sat a lot. I go three times a week now and can do 20 length afterwards. you do as much as you can manage with aqua fit and you're held up in the water cushioned almost. You don't even have to be a swimmer. I stand right at the back to hold onto the side when they do leg raises. my pain clinic advisor thinks its great I can manage as much as I can. but I've been going for months now. I am still worn out when I get back. we're all only human after all.

Dear Doctor Jo, could you make more exercise/streching videos for people with fibromyalgia? I find it difficult to find videos to be more active at home 😅 I do aquaform twice a week and walk in general. I heard there's some movements we shouldn't do but I don't know them :/ I might be making it worst because I also have a light deviation on the left of my vertebral column (my right side, near my hip always feel like I have a knife stuck there)

I’m going to be 20 in exactly one month and I can’t do much of anything because of how much pain I’m in on a daily basis along with my severe anxiety. I’ve tried a couple medications but experienced some pretty bad side effects so had to stop those. So I’m basically dealing with my fibromyalgia on my own without any medical assistance. But I am definitely going to try these stretches out. I’ve tried going to physical therapy but what they had me do was just hurting me more. So hopefully these help. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@AskDoctorJo]

I hope they help too. If you happen to have access to a pool, aquatic therapy can be very beneficial. Not swimming, but exercising in the water. They also might have fibromyalgia water classes in your area. I think these are super helpful not only from the water, but also meeting other people who have it, and maybe getting some ideas from them about what helps them feel better in their every day life. Good luck.

great clip like always thanks a lot.

I'd love if you in#rt some links I promise to do them, I've been doing the shoulder clips almost daily and the chance is extreme and immediate I could hold a glass plate before without pain. keep on the great work any the joy you bring to our life's 💗

Any advice for someone that cannot sit back on their heels? I used to be able to but after years of much less activity it feels like my knees will burst if I fully sit back. From kneeling I end up about 8 inches from my heels before the pain is excruciating. Scans show nothing abnormal...

I watched your sleeping position video. Would you recommend that position (and that pillow) for Fibro folk? Sleep is so essential to us. Thank you very much.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. Unfortunately, that pillow is no longer available.

Hi Dr Jo can I ask why you refer to Fibromyalgia as Fibromyallgery in the video. This is my first time finding your videos. This one as already help. Thank you. I found you after searching for stretches per my doctors suggestion on how to deal with pain. I have been having a difficult time the last six months.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome. That is what one of my patients called it once.

[@Luvandblessings]

@@AskDoctorJo Thank you just wondering if there was some deeper meaning behind it. 🙂
