Can Qigong Really Help Fibromyalgia?

How Qigong Help Fibromyalgia Symptoms

Mental health is as important for fibromyalgia patients. Fibromyalgia patients not only face the stress of the chronic pain itself, they are also subjected to other stress such as social stress, work stress, financial stress etc. Stress deprives a patient from sleep and can prevent them from getting better. Hence, depression and anxiety are very common in fibromyalgia.

Qigong focuses on gaining control over your mental well-being. The ancient chinese practice believes that good physical health follows after good mental health. The breathing exercises and mediation in Qigong play a huge part in helping fibromyalgia. Breathing exercises can help in relieving stress caused by the chronic pain itself and the stress from other factors. Meditation helps to clear your mind and takes the focus away from your pain. In fact, some believe that depression and anxiety can be alleviated if you practice Qigong on a regular basis

As you know, the condition itself cannot be treated. However, there are still ways to help relieve and improve your symptoms. Qigong is both a meditation therapy and a form of exercise that can be helpful in your fibromyalgia treatment.
