Start slow: Exercise has been shown to be helpful for patient's with fibromyalgia. There are many options i.E yoga and pilates, but start slow. A recent study showed the benefits of tai chi for musculoskeletal pain, depression, and quality of life in patient's with fibromyalgia. If you have access to a warm pool, gentle movement in the water can be helpful too.
