The physician administers different treatments to patients of the FMS disease since the symptoms are different and the treatment needs to be individualized for every patient. The importance of exercises in the fibromyalgia condition is immense and it aggravates or lessens the symptoms of the disease. The doctor generally prescribes active and strengthening exercises for the patient. One must start with stretching exercises and moderately low-impact activity, like walking and bicycling. The exercises must be started in a moderate way one should not be hasty in going about it. There may be pain initially but it will vanish once one gets used to the habit. The exercises help the patient only when he does them regularly. Once the exercise is started one must keep going with them.

The walking exercise can be started by walking for five minutes for the first time and the walking duration should be increased by adding an extra minute in the daily exercise until one reaches to sixty minutes of walking in a day. When one is able to walk for sixty minutes it then should be increased to an hour of walking for at least three to five times a week. When one has reached the one hour goal of walking for three to five times a week one can do jogging and walking alternatively. The exercise of stationary bicycling is also most helpful in reducing the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
