Less Pain, More Good Days
A Fibromyalgia health coach is your ally helping you through the process
of good days and bad days. Patients who are interested in getting a
personal health coach should be willing to be coached and
committed to putting in the effort required to make the changes.
Reclaiming your health with a personal coach requires willingness to try new
things, dedication, and a desire to feel better. If these attitudes sound like you,
a Fibromyalgia health coach may be the perfect choice for you!
A Fibromyalgia Health Coach is someone who is trained to provide support specifically for
Fibromyalgia patients. It’s a bit of a cross between health coaching and life coaching, with a
focus entirely on helping clients live as well as possible with Fibromyalgia. Does it work?
An independent pilot study 1 , conducted by Ohio State University indicated that clients who
receive coaching are living better lives filled with more “good days” and less pain.
Patients learn to come to terms with their Fibromyalgia diagnosis. They understand their
treatment options, implement prescribed lifestyle changes, reduce Fibromyalgia
symptoms, and navigate the often-confusing medical system. But, that’s not all. It’s what
happens in a coaching session that really makes the difference in reclaiming your health.
