Weak muscles together with prevalent muscle pain is undoubtedly a simple fact for Fibromyalgia sufferers. It also appears that muscle mass strength is substantially less in those affected by Fibromyalgia. Some studies have established that if you have Fibromyalgia the optimum isometric and dynamic muscle power is much lower in comparison to healthy individuals. This means that, those suffering from Fibromyalgia are apt to have weaker knees and the muscles that support the knee are usually weaker and much less stable.
Other studies, which focused on resistance have demostrated much lower outcomes in functional testing in relation to everyday living, such as sitting yourself down and getting up from a chair, where reduced maximum muscle strength of knee extensors is observed. This kind of weakness can result in loss of mobility. Maybe you have felt this yourself, specifically where getting up is challenging. Your knees feel like they're going to buckle, and they may be unable to support the weight of your whole body while going down to a sitting position, or returning up to a standing position. A great number of people with Fibromyalgia find it next to impossible, or at the very least very difficult to crouch down with knees bent and then attempt to stand up.
Becoming involved with low impact exercising including yoga, Tai Chi, walking, water aerobics, and low impact aerobics are often recommended for battling Fibromyalgia. Balneotherapy and/or warm baths have been shown to manage muscle pain successfully. The trouble is warm water exercise is more difficult to find than land based exercise, therefore many Fibromyalgia sufferers may not have access to warm water exercise classes easily. However, it may be well worth the efforts to try to attend them if possible.
Studies have shown that Fibromyalgia patients had good results from reduced pain and low energy by using a combination of land based fitness programs with warm water pool exercises. These forms of exercises also helped to enhance cardiovascular capacity and emotional health. The purpose of one scientific study was to evaluate the short- and long-term effectiveness of exercise therapy using a warm, waist-high pool for women with Fibromyalgia. The study tested exercisers who joined in 34 water classes. These people did not change any of their other habits. By the end of the program, the number of tender points had not changed in either the control group or the intervention group. However, the intervention group saw considerable improvements in the amount of pain, with a 29% decline in pain. Follow up records indicated that this gain was lost after 12 weeks of stopping water exercises. Knee strengthening while participating in this scientific study was significant, with knee extensors showing a 20% improvement, and knee flexors gaining a 33% improvement. Translated this indicates that those who are afflicted by Fibromyalgia can make use of warm water exercise to strengthen their knees and boost mobility and stability, all of which are aspects of concern in Fibromyalgia patients.
This study clearly indicated that water exercise will benefit Fibromyalgia patients. It brings about remarkable gains in strength of the knee extensors, which is a important predictor in mobility as it relates directly to your day to day life. It has long been established that low impact water exercises were beneficial to people recovering from injuries or surgeries. Based on the outcomes of this study it would appear that if you are afflicted by Fibromyalgia warm water exercise may be very useful to you. The key is that the workouts must be ongoing as the benefits are lost over time.
