Possible benefits and how to start ???
Exercise is a double sword when you have fibromyalgia, it can help you feel better but, on the other hand, it can also make you worse.

You would think it’s possible, so it’s a game of intensity and duration. Both must be adapted to your individual level of exercise tolerance.

Hot water exercise has attracted a lot of attention in the relief of fibromyalgia pain. It offers many benefits, as evidenced by numerous studies and research.

Improve the threshold of pain (the point where feelings become painful)Reduce the number of tender pointsreduce painBoost cognitive functionImprove functional capacityImprove mental healthDecrease body fatMake you perceive your condition as less serious.
Researchers have shown that people with fibromyalgia are better at exercising in warm water than any other exercise.

What is the strength of the proof?

You need to consider the reliability of studies every time you talk about research.

A 2014 review of available evidence concluded that there was low to moderate evidence that aquatic training was useful for fibromyalgia. He also found evidence of very low to low quality supporting the combination of exercises on the water and on the ground.

For non-drug treatment studies, this level of evidence is not unusual, but it may indicate that your findings may not be consistent with the findings of the study.

Especially in case of overlapping conditions, it is possible that some mitigating factors make exercise therapy less useful.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is very common in us; if you suffer from it, the symptom of post-exercise discomfort may make you much less able to tolerate stress and may lead to severe worsening of symptoms.If you are seriously unpacked, you may need to do a lot less exercise than the students.
You may need a program specifically designed for you, usually not for fibromyalgia patients, if you have conditions such as joint damage, such as arthritis.

You should carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages and discuss them with your doctor before embarking on exercise therapy of any kind. Nevertheless, the consistency of the conclusions may give some credence to the body of evidence.

General benefits of aquatic exercise

It is easy to perform and much more beneficial than other exercises on the ground, plus it is gentler for your body. It has many advantages for us.

Its no impact, so it will not hit your muscles and joints.Buoyancy decreases the effect of gravity, which requires less effort to move.
Immersion in the water helps you relax and lessen the pain.

Why hot water ???

Cold water can stretch the muscles, so a hot water pool is a good therapy. People with fibromyalgia are intolerant to cold, so it is especially important for patients with fibromyalgia. A hot water basin is maintained around 32.6 degrees Celsius (89.6 degrees Fahrenheit), several degrees higher than most heated pools.

If you do not feel your tight muscles in a pool at normal temperatures and you can tolerate the cold, then you can try to exercise. However, during and after training, observe the signs of your body if your body reacts badly to cold.

Most gyms do not have therapeutically hot pools. Your doctor or physiotherapist may know some of them in your community, or you can contact local agencies and institutions, including:

Colleges and UniversitiesYMCA and YWCARehabilitation centersThe Arthritis FoundationEaster SealsThe Salvation ArmySupport Groups for Arthritis and Fibromyalgia
Many of these places have regular classes for people with fibromyalgia or any other condition limiting mobility, where you can learn with a qualified instructor.

To start

Before starting any aquatic therapy or exercise program, consult your doctor:

Look for a qualified instructor or therapist.Start slowly, with short, low-intensity sessions, then progress gradually.Start with 2 sessions per week
e, several days apart, to see how your body responds to exercise.

Know your limits and stick to them. Do not feel obliged to cross the whole class.Do not try to overcome the pain, it will probably hurt you later.Talk about when you take painkillers, if you take them, before you exercise, you risk losing the signs of your body that you work too much.
