I have fibromyalgia for a few months and cant train due to reduced ROM/pain in shoulder/back muscles. Any suggestions?
I suffer from pain when placing unweighted bar less than 1 kg (Specific for ladies) on my back and doing squats like routines in body pump class due to the reduced range of motion of my left shoulder/arm and i feel very uncomfortable after dropping it off. I also have wrist joint pain bilaterally also affecting my performance in several exercises. I am taking pills by my doctor but its not helping. I feel better when i go for a yoga class. So i would like to know how can i train with all these symptoms. I stopped training for a whole year due to pain that doctors couldnt diagnose until recently. I am in recovery/rehabilitation phase. If anyone can help with any information to help me go through this, ill be grateful.
It sounds like your body is in dire need of a fascial care program. Tight fascia can constrict not only your muscles but can constrict the fascial rings around your neurovascular bundles. My clients control their fibromyalgia and other chronic pain issues using The Fascianation Method program of self-myofascial release. Even neuropathies have been resolved using the program. Check out

Continue the yoga too!
