Aerobic Exercise
for Fibromyalgia
Aerobic exercise is the most evidence-based treatment for fibromyalgia — with multiple RCTs showing significant reductions in pain, fatigue, and functional impairment.
How it works
Aerobic exercise increases endogenous opioid and serotonin levels, reducing central sensitisation. Improves HPA axis function dysregulated in fibromyalgia. Exercise-induced analgesia is well-established in chronic pain.
What to watch for
Start very gradually — fibromyalgia patients can experience post-exertional pain amplification with sudden increases in exercise. Even 10-minute walks 3x/week provides benefit initially. Progress slowly over months.
