Our Approach to Fibromyalgia Care
At Unified Rehabilitation, we recognize that fibromyalgia requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. Our team of experienced and compassionate physical therapists work closely with you to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and goals. Our approach focuses on three key pillars:
Pain Management and Symptom Relief
Fibromyalgia often manifests as chronic, widespread pain and discomfort. Our physical therapists employ evidence-based techniques to alleviate pain and reduce muscle tension. These may include gentle stretching, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, and manual therapy, aimed at easing sore muscles and improving joint mobility.
Strength and Conditioning
Strengthening exercises are an essential component of managing fibromyalgia. Our skilled therapists will guide you through a carefully designed exercise program to build muscle strength and endurance, improving your overall functional capacity and reducing fatigue. We emphasize a gradual and customized approach, ensuring exercises are tailored to your abilities and preferences.
Education and Self-Management
Empowering you with knowledge about fibromyalgia and teaching self-management strategies is central to our approach. We provide valuable information on nutrition, sleep hygiene, stress management, and ergonomic techniques to help you optimize your daily routines and minimize triggers for pain and discomfort.
What to Expect During Your Fibromyalgia Physical Therapy Sessions
Comprehensive Evaluation: Your journey begins with a thorough assessment of your medical history, pain levels, mobility, and functional limitations. This evaluation helps us understand your unique challenges and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation, we create an individualized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. Your treatment plan may include a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, modalities, and education sessions.
Collaborative Care: We collaborate closely with your healthcare team to ensure a holistic and integrated approach to your fibromyalgia management. This may involve communication with your primary care physician, rheumatologist, or other specialists to optimize your care.
