Fibromyalgia Support at Fit Bomb Physio

What is Fibromyalgia?

 

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep issues, and often cognitive challenges (commonly called “fibro fog”). It affects how your brain and nervous system process pain, often amplifying normal sensations into painful ones. People with fibromyalgia may also experience:

• Generalised body stiffness

• Heightened sensitivity to touch or pressure

• Mood changes such as anxiety or depression

• Gut issues or headaches

• Fluctuating symptoms and energy levels

 

It’s not “all in your head”—fibromyalgia is a real condition rooted in changes to the way the nervous system responds to stress, movement, and sensation.

​

 

Understanding the Science Behind the Pain

 

We now know that fibromyalgia involves a hypersensitive nervous system. The pain isn’t caused by damaged muscles or joints, but by a brain and spinal cord that have become overprotective - amplifying signals and creating pain even when there’s no injury.

 

Stress, poor sleep, physical or emotional trauma, and long-term inactivity can all contribute to this nervous system sensitivity. But the good news is: your system can be retrained.

How We Can Help at Fit Bomb Physio

 

Our approach at Fit Bomb Physio is evidence-based, person-centred, and designed to empower you—not just “manage” you. While there is no one-size-fits-all cure for fibromyalgia, there is strong evidence that movement, education, and a supportive team can significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

 

Your treatment may include:

• Education about pain science, fatigue, and stress physiology—to help you understand and regain confidence in your body

• Graded movement and exercise therapy, tailored to your energy levels, interests, and goals

• Pacing strategies to help manage energy and prevent flare-ups

• Hands-on physiotherapy for muscle tension, breathing mechanics, or postural support

• Breath work and nervous system calming techniques to help reduce sensitivity and improve sleep

• Lifestyle coaching for sleep, stress management, and building consistent, meaningful routines

• Collaborative care with GPs, psychologists, specialists, personal trainers and other healthcare providers

 

We understand that each person’s journey with fibromyalgia is different. That’s why your plan will be as unique as you are.
