How it works
Addresses deconditioning and autonomic dysfunction that can perpetuate fatigue. Gradual increase in activity rebuilds cardiovascular fitness and reduces effort perception at a given workload.
Highly controversial and potentially harmful for ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) — GET is no longer recommended for ME/CFS by NICE (2021 guidelines). Appropriate for fatigue from deconditioning but requires professional guidance and careful pacing.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
