Hi,

thank you for briefing the history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is guided.

As you have fibromyalgia you need to know that what it is. The muscles of the human body contains abundant fibers which help for the contraction and relaxation of the muscles. The pain in that region of muscle fibers is called fibromyalgia. As medicine can help you symptomatically, but you need to perform exercises to improve the metabolism so by which the inflammation of the muscle fibers subside and also, you get a good tone of the muscles.

In my clinical practice i see cases with fibromyalgia, i highly recommend them physical therapy as by the use of therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the inflammation and pain subside. Since it is non invasive there are no side effects. Also by teaching the patient, meditation, breathing exercises and body conditioning helps them to control the symptoms of , frustation and pain.

Breathing exercises helps to improve the quality of oxygen carrying blood cells, which helps in improved metabolism and proper healing of the muscle fiber.

In my clinical practice patients respond well to physical therapy and gets 99% of optimum results. In future, exercises are recommended to ensure the strength in the muscles, improved metabolism, abundant oxygen carrying capacity of blood cells, etc.
