Warm Water Exercise for Fibromyalgia:

A recent study involving women with Fibromyalgia and warm water exercise was cited in Science Daily. People who suffer with Fibromyalgia have chronic inflammation in their muscles and the cause is not widely known. 90% of those affected are women.

This study looked at the effects of warm water exercise in a supervised program. Seventeen women participated in these one hour workouts, 3 times a week for 8 months. This was done in a waist deep pool heated to 91 degrees.

This particular design was found to be effective in reducing symptoms and improving their health-related quality of life. A previous study by the same researchers found that most of the gains achieved in a 12 week program were lost after a similar period of inactivity. This would suggest the need for a longer program or a maintenance program.

You should already know some of my thoughts. If at all possible, you need to do some type of movement to keep your muscles and joints from getting stiffer than they already are. This movement may not cure your particular condition, but it can help make it more manageable.

I have recently wrote about other Fibro studies that showed an improvement with exercise. Of course, you should start out slow and gradually increase the amount of time you are moving. Notice I said moving and not exercising. Getting even 15 minutes of movement here and there can help.

The researchers haven't yet compared the water exercise to more accessible and cheaper forms of exercise such as low-impact aerobics, walking and Tai Chi. If nothing else, you might try walking at a moderate pace for 15 minutes and gradually increasing this as your body adapts.
