At PDR, we treat many patients with fibromyalgia, oftentimes with very good results. To maximize our effectiveness in treating these patients, our physicians have developed a specific fibromyalgia protocol with the following modifications:
- Proper body mechanics, energy conservation techniques and regular cardiovascular exercise are emphasized.
- Introduction of new exercises is limited to 3-5 per session to avoid a flare-up, or per the patient's tolerance.
- The MedX equipment allows us to administer calculated doses of exercise, which helps us to avoid overworking the muscles and developing muscle pain.
