AQUATHERAPY: ? what exercises for fibromyalgia (FM) that won't set my joints on fire. Land based physical therapy is often too painful for FM sufferers because of the weight of body parts on joints stressed by lack of soft tissue integrity and biomechanical support. The solution is to recondition soft tissues in a reduced gravitational field; in water whereby body parts are supported by buoyancy.
