Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive issues. Chronic pain, in general, refers to persistent discomfort lasting weeks, months, or even years, often severely limiting one’s ability to function normally.
Common causes of Fibromyalgia and chronic pain:
- Genetics: Family history increases the risk.
- Trauma or stress: Injuries or emotional stress can trigger flare-ups.
- Infections: Certain viral or bacterial infections can lead to chronic pain.

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage chronic pain. Here’s how it helps:
- Pain management: Improve your ability to manage pain whilst going about your day-to-day.
- Improved sleep: Regular activity promotes better sleep, crucial for managing pain.
- Enhanced mood: Exercise increases endorphins, improving mental well-being.

‘I found Sophie at Longevity by chance. Both my shoulders had frozen and I was taking pain killers every 6 hours and could barely move- I wouldn’t recommend it! I was concerned that I would be living with the pain long term. Sophie gave me hope and here we are six months in and my shoulders are better than ever and we are working on getting the rest of the body up to speed with a focus on balance, strength, core, cardio, flexibility- all the essential things needed for body maintenance. Sophie is such a good EP. She makes the sessions fun and is totally engaged. She knows just how much to push and how to modify when needed. I really look forward to my sessions. I am addicted!’
