Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that affects the way the body responds to pain. This condition can result in widespread pain, fatigue, and increased sensitivity to touch. At Move for Life Physio, our fibromyalgia treatment strategy is dedicated to helping patients manage the symptoms, improve physical function, and support overall physical wellbeing through structured, evidence-based care.
People living with fibromyalgia may experience a combination of symptoms such as pain in the muscles and joints, difficulty in sleeping, stiffness, and reduced energy levels. These symptoms can vary in intensity and may come and go over time. Since fibromyalgia affects each person in different ways, management requires a personalised approach that considers each patient’s unique lifestyle, goals, and needs.
Fibromyalgia is commonly linked with the nervous system’s response to pain signals. This may cause patients to be more sensitive to physical pressure, movement, and even environmental factors. Apart from physical symptoms, patients may also face cognitive problems such as impaired concentration, commonly referred to as ‘fibro fog’.
Considering the wide-ranging effects of fibromyalgia, fibromyalgia treatment generally involves physical therapy, education, and gradual activity progression. It is not just one method of treatment but a consistent and balanced approach over time.
At Move for Life Physio, our approach to fibromyalgia treatment is guided by a structured and individualised care plan. Our physiotherapists focus on improving movement, reducing discomfort, and supporting long-term function through safe and progressive techniques.

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury and how early the patient starts treatment. Most individuals improve in 6–12 weeks, but it can take more time for recovery from chronic conditions.
In most cases, it is best to steer clear of high-impact activities until you are evaluated by a physiotherapist.
When a tendon is irritated and inflamed at the start of an injury, it’s called tendonitis. Tendinopathy is a broader term that includes chronic degeneration of the tendon tissue.
Most cases respond well to non-surgical tendonitis treatment. If physiotherapy doesn’t help, surgery may be the next step.
Yes. Strengthening, flexibility training, and biomechanical corrections can significantly reduce your risk of having future tendon problems.
