Growing Up with FSHD: Lexi Pappas Tells All in New Documentary

How does exercise benefit those with FSHD?

While it may seem a bit scary to try and push the body to move with FSHD, physical therapy and exercise are actually beneficial to people who have this condition. In fact, a study showed the effects of exercises on the fatigue and pain that the condition causes. The study found out that certain exercise training programs, such as cycling and others, which are compatible with the patient’s daily routine can have a lot of benefits on the muscles.

With this, it can be said that people who have this condition should move even more so that their muscles will be more active. This will help patients develop better muscles to aid them in managing their condition. Of course, the right type of exercise is very important. For this, a physical therapist is the best person to consult for a good exercise program.
