Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a condition characterized by profound fatigue that is not alleviated by rest and is worsened by physical or mental exertion. It often includes symptoms like unrefreshing sleep, muscle and joint pain, and cognitive difficulties. The exact cause is not known, but it may be related to a variety of factors including infections, immune system problems, or hormonal imbalances.
Physiotherapy can help manage CFS by developing a tailored exercise program to improve physical strength and stamina while managing fatigue. Techniques such as pacing, gentle stretching, and low-impact exercises can aid in reducing symptoms and improving overall functioning. A personalized approach can help you manage daily activities more effectively and improve your quality of life.
During a CFS assessment, a physiotherapist will evaluate your level of fatigue, physical function, and any limitations you may be experiencing. They will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and helps manage your symptoms effectively.
Improvements can vary based on individual factors and adherence to the therapy program. Many patients notice gradual improvements in energy levels, physical endurance, and overall well-being after several weeks of consistent physiotherapy and lifestyle adjustments.
