Introduction
Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic condition in which the affected individual experiences severe stiffness and pain in the musculoskeletal structure. This chronic pain can be almost debilitating, making mundane everyday tasks impossible to perform. To make matters worse, fibromyalgia is incurable and treatment is simply meant to provide relief from the symptoms. Nevertheless, most patients can maintain a normal lifestyle as medication and therapy can keep symptoms in check. Physical activity, exercise and stress reduction technique can make a huge difference to quality of life with most studies showing marked improvement with regular aerobic exercise.
