When IC patients flare, it can be quite overwhelming to walk, much less embark on a fitness program. Running and/or typical aerobics classes, for example, can exacerbate symptoms. However, walking that keeps the hits more level and swimming are potential alternatives. Given the predisposition that many patients have towards pelvic muscle tightness, exercises that strengthen the stomach can also be difficult. Luckily, a new exercise program specifically for IC has been created that uses the gentle strengthening and stretching of yoga.
We're delighted to share this video with you as well as several videos from Gaiam Productions that explore, with great productions, gentle exercise regimens!
