Fibromyalgia is a disorder that is characterized by crippling symptoms such as pain throughout the whole body, fatigue, sleep disruptions, and chronic headaches. It is a disorder that is so hard to pinpoint, that it is diagnosed by ruling out other disorders. The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but the pains are attributed to processes in the central nervous system. Treatment of this particular disorder can be very hard and fibromyalgia can last for a long time. Therefore, finding relief from the symptoms of fibromyalgia is important. The Wim Hof Method can give you tools to relieve some of the symptoms related to fibromyalgia.

Besides taking medication, there are some natural things that can help you find relief from the symptoms related to fibromyalgia. The following methods can help you sleep better, can improve your energy levels, and can relieve some of the pain related to fibromyalgia.

Yoga. There have been some scientific studies that explored the effects of practicing yoga on the symptoms of fibromyalgia. A combination of yoga poses, breathing exercises, and meditation relieved pain, improved the mood of the participants, and made them feel more energetic afterwards.

Breathing exercises. Proper breathing can help people who suffer from fibromyalgia in managing pain and emotional stress. Moreover, many sufferers from fibromyalgia are experiencing shortness of breath. Breathing exercises can help normalizing their breathing patterns.

Sleep hygiene. Proper sleep is essential to restore energy levels. Fibromyalgia often interferes with sleep cycles and causes disrupted sleep patterns. Therefore, optimizing sleep quality as much as possible is key. Practicing good sleep hygiene like going to bed and waking up around the same time everyday can help.

Stress management. People who suffer from fibromyalgia are feeling tired and low on energy all the time. Stress can drain your energy even more. Therefore, proper stress management is important for people suffering from fibromyalgia. Try meditating and biofeedback training to handle stressful events.

Exercise. It is very important that sufferers from fibromyalgia stay as active as they can possibly be. That is because exercising has a positive impact on fatigue, pain, and sleep. Therefore, regular exercise is recommended, even though it might be hard.

The Wim Hof Method is a combination of breathing exercise, cold therapy and commitment. Together these pillars form a powerful method that has numerous benefits for your overall health.

For 12 years now I have had rheumatism. Thanks to the Wim Hof Method I have been able to halve the amount of anti-inflammatory drugs. My goal is to completely stop the use of anti-inflammatory drugs after finishing the video course.

Aivar, Estonia

I am 52 years old, and after 10 weeks of the Wim Hof Method I am in the best shape I have ever been. I did 30 push-ups as a test before I started the course, and when I finished I did 100 push-ups for the first time in my life. The Wim Hof Method gives you a good mood, it’s addictive!

Monic, The Netherlands

It’s only been 4 weeks since I started, but the results are remarkable! Thank you from the heart for changing my life, my health, and my understanding about my own power and the influence I have on this. I’m looking forward to a nice cold winter in the Netherlands.

Mino, Germany

Learning Wim’s method is like studying from one of nature’s best students. My life long fear of cold is history. I now fully enjoy cold immersions, but the benefits are not limited to cold. I am now a better person and a happier being. I smile when facing life challenges.

After 8 months of daily Hoffing, puffing and cold showers I can claim to be cured of my 5 year burnout. Not having had a single cold or flu, my sore knee is working perfectly again, which was very painful the last 2 years. It is like a miracle, and I’m really grateful that our paths crossed.

Franco, USA

Wim I hope to train with you someday. I love to jump into that cold water and climb that mountain with you. Your method has truly helped me with psoriatic arthritis. I am no longer taking Humira injections for my symptoms. I am controlling it with breathing, cold showers and ice baths.

Matthew, Australia

I would have paid $10,000 for this, but that would not be enough because this has changed my life. I feel like I have taken Valium yet am supercharged. As a clinical psychologist my days can be very stressful. There is a stillness inside me now, and what I am really amazed by is the peace lasts.

Per Kristian, United Kingdom

After 3 weeks of daily practicing my medication (Naproxen) for long-standing sciatica has been cut by 80%, and my arm pain and 'pins and needles' following a neck injury 50 years ago has been halved!

Arthur, USA

I got anxiety 2+ years ago, and have had panic attacks every day since. Medicine helped a little. I came across your videos and started to walk my 2 miles a day in only a t-shirt at 20F degrees. Within 2 weeks my anxiety went away! I found it to be a miracle.

James, USA

Georg, Germany

Cardiac and respiratory arrest began my life. Heart defect and cleft palate pushed diseases. Depression, lack of self-efficacy, and post traumatic stress disorder followed. The Wim Hof Method frees me: I am twenty-nine years old, and I love to live. Thank you!

Grant, Australia

I was born with Spina Bifida, and was told I would end up in a wheelchair. After incorporating the Wim Hof Method into my daily life I have begun to see results in my pain levels and athleticism. I am no longer looking down the barrel of becoming a paraplegic, and I attribute that in part to the...

Raúl, The Netherlands

From the 90s to 2012 I developed hayfever symptoms and had to take daily medications in order to cope. The effect of these medications only lasted for several hours. By using the Wim Hof Method training daily, my body has conquered hayfever symptoms since 2013.

Benjamin

I started the Wim Hof method in October of 2018, and now the holes I had in my brain are gone. My neurosurgeon was so impressed by the scans that he told me I don't have to come back anymore. I take this as proof that this method works to regenerate brain tissue.
