Members offered gentle, practical advice for stretching with fibromyalgia while managing gastroparesis, with the most consistent recommendations being slow dynamic stretches in the morning, water-based exercises in a warm pool or hot tub, and movements that feel comforting rather than painful to your specific body. Several members shared strategies that have worked for them, including orthopedic stretches for back and hip pain, beginner yoga moves, light walking, and working with a physical therapist who can ensure proper form and tailor exercises to individual needs. A recurring theme was the importance of listening to your body, choosing movements that bring relief rather than added pain, and exploring resources like online yoga videos or aquatic therapy to find what works best for you.

Asthma UK have been doing webinars during lockdown for lots of things including gentle exercise. The yoga and Pilates videos are great. Without these videos I would have really struggled during lockdown with not been able to go to classes.

Yeah if you can afford it or if insurance covers, you might try a physical therapist or aquatic physical therapy. PT has helped my fibro significantly and they can watch you to make sure you’re doing the stretches correctly. Hope you get some relief soon!

part of my every morning routine is before I do any kind of physical activity I try my best to get a dynamic of any kind stretch in there's different ones if you just Google it different stuff will pop up and give you ideas and then what's comforting to me
may not be comforting to you so you just pick and choose which ones are great for your body cuz you don't want to be to add to your pain ,so you want to find that comforting as well
good luck πŸ’•πŸ™πŸŒˆβ˜€οΈπŸ’•πŸ™πŸŒˆβ˜€οΈπŸ€©πŸ’•πŸŒˆβ˜€οΈ
